You're pretty much gimping yourself if you don't use it as a stamina build. Heavy armor is balanced without black rose but OP with it, needs a nerf.
Black rose = fotm
That's the reason it's a problem, it's FOTM. Looking back on the game a few updates ago stamina builds were using a variety of different sets, now it's just black rose or gtfo. The addition to all these new sets is awesome for the game, it was opening up opportunities for players to have different and unique builds but this just isn't the case for stamina builds.
Ya ya ya
Ya good?
Let us take a gander into its set bonuses.
(2 Piece) 1064 health
(3 Piece) 967 Stamina
(4 Piece) 967 Stamina
(5 Piece) Increases magic and stamina return from the constitution passive by 40% AND adds 154 weapon damage.
*It is essentially giving 400+ stamina/magic back every four seconds if the player is in 7 heavy, on top of this it gives x2 max stamina, weapon damage, and health. This increases the users damage, tankiness, and sustain all in one set; it is just to much. It's a must for all stamina builds.*
Proposed Solution:
•Reducing the amount of sustain it gives via the constitution passive from 40% to 25%
•Replacing the third piece that gives maximum stamina to give maximum magicka instead.
•Remove the 5th piece that gives weapon damage OR change it to give spell damage?
This alters the set so it is now opened up magicka users but also makes it less viable for stamina users. The set gives to many utilities causing it to be OP, there isn't a better option if you're going for a small scale stamina build approach. It's just another BIS item set. Nerf black rose.
