What you should have done is let the poison damage scale with the Thaumaturge passive.

25% nerf to Molag Kena? Is there going to be any new gear that I actually want to obtain when the patch goes live by the time all these nerfs go through?
People were upset that Black Rose embodied a contradiction in design (take away stamina regen while blocking for all, but still let it happen in essence through pay-gated DLC content), so they reconfigured it to buff a similar Heavy Armor passive and damage. Could the number be higher? Sure. But BR set wasn't necessary to tank anyways in 2.1. This changes the set's role in builds in a good way that is more consistent with the change to stamina regen. I will definitely look into running this set on my NB tank since it provides extra resources and damage now.
There is no point, if you look at the math. Just go back to Hist Bark. Black Rose is garbage now.

Na, I'm a NB so I get full-time dodge and minor armor/spell resist buffs from Mirage, which allows me to use a different set to buff whatever else would help out
Then there is going to be another set to give you something much better than the minuscule 504 stam/mag you get back from Black Rose every 4 seconds with this new change. Just saying."You sleep rather soundly for a murderer. That's good. You'll need a clear conscience for what I'm about to propose."0 -
ThatNeonZebraAgain✭✭✭✭✭'Increased the bonuses granted by the Endurance, Willpower, and Agility sets by 50%.'
Seems like a must-have now for those who don't use any set yewelry.
Seems like a must have even if you do...
V16 and now 50% stronger still.
Everybody was complaining that these sets just made build diversity worse and forced them down a route of a templated 2 Undaunted, 5 set piece armor, 3 mini jewellery set kind of setup...
So what do they do? Make the jewellery even more essential by giving it a 50% buff.
Only jewellery crafting can save us now!
Exactly. Don't like this particular change at all, nor the continued lack of jewelry for other new sets.Gore-of-the-Forest Argonian Nightblade

✭✭✭✭✭Btw, how expensive is this yewelry ? Is it hard to get ?
I am 99% sure it is Bind On Pickup and you cannot buy it. You get it from the "Trophy Vaults" in Imperial City. Kill a ton of Daedra in IC, collect the various trophies they drop (Dremora Eyeballs, Scamp Tongues, etc., etc. - I just made those up but it is along those lines). Use large amounts of each trophy to open different vaults. Hopefully you get a set piece and hopefully it is the set your build needs and hopefully it has the trait you need, etc. It is definitely going to be a grind, similar to opening the Undaunted chests after running a pledge. But I don't think enemy players can steal your trophies, so it probably will not be as big a grind as Tel Var stones. Of course with Tel Var stones, you can buy exactly what you want. With the trophy vaults, there is a lot of RNG and dumb luck involved. So I guess that is the trade off.4 -

Both from trophy vaults and also can drop in any of the dungeons in the game (I'm assuming only the vet ones).
"Three new item sets (Agility, Endurance, and Willpower) have been made widely available through all Dungeons and in the Imperial City.
These simple sets provide only stat bonuses at two and three pieces worn, and are made up of only weapons, shields, rings, and necklaces.
These items can sometimes be found by killing the final bosses in any Dungeon, and can also be found in the warded chests of the Imperial City."

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerCan has Dawnbreaker fix? It's really crippling PVP.
We took a look, and this should actually be fixed on the PTS. We mistakenly forgot the patch note, but once we go live with this update, it will read:- Dawnbreaker and its morphs will now consistently wait one second before the damage over time effect is applied. The amount of damage applied and the duration remain the same.

No they're not that rare. They are purple colored, so about as rare as farming purple items I'd say. It requires 25 of each to open a vault (started out at 100 lol).

For Black Rose, is the Constitution passive from heavy armor any good? I always got the impression the resource return from it was complete garbage, and the 4 second cooldown made it even worse. So 50% more from Constitution with Black Rose is likely to still be extremely weak, and it still has that awful 4 second cooldown.
You are correct, it is still utter garbage. ZOS not only has no idea how to fix Heavy Armor, they apparently don't even think there is a problem.

✭✭✭✭✭Wow. Black Rose is WORTHLESS now. Why? Why did they make this change?
Yeah, they really want to create a pew pew COD insta-kill gameplay. Doing their best to ruin tanking, this set is worthless for what it could have been useful for, though may have a completely different use in other builds. Definitely getting back an extra couple hundred stam every four seconds is not going to make a difference on anyone's tank build that needs stam help and not worth a five piece bonus.-- @xaraan --
