What is making this set feel strong is the game mechanics around it, and not the set it self. Stamina has been over buffed since last patch. For instance dawnbreaker is just too strong.
For the black rose set the only change I would like to see is one of the stamina bonuses becoming max magicka.

I certainly found/find the skill to be fun, but it does too much for it's cost. I actually find that is so powerful that it becomes boring to use open world. I love my templar, but I personally feel that major mending + vigor over performs (I am not saying remove it, but it could be toned down a bit). Redguard is still too powerful imo on a class with major mending. This is essentially because it allows you to stack damage and sustain from stamina. People will now just say get a race change, but personally I would prefer to have ZoS balance the game. Not to mention there is no equivalently powerful magicka race.
For the black rose set the only change I would like to see is one of the stamina bonuses becoming max magicka. The set is supposed to be viable for both stam and magicka, but this kind of turns magicka users away. On another note I personally would like to see snares balanced, and shuffle completely replaced with something else. I would personally leave blur, but make a morph that costs stamina. This would make dodge a unique part of NB, and help make the classes feel more diverse.
If black rose Stam builds were a 10 on a 1-10 scale I'd rate Magicka Sorc a 6 , a magplar a 7, with the bottom feeder specs of mag DK and magblade at 4 or 5. The discrepancy is enormous. Arenas and BG's will never make it in the game in this state. This is a huge fundamental problem with eso. Any player can slap on black rose with blood spawn, with malubeth, with whatever they please, and even run vitality pots, and still outperform a Magicka build , Magicka builds simply cannot put enough damage on those types of builds.
I really don't think it's OP (even though I use it). I think magicka builds are just salty in general and think their focus should be directed at something other than Black Rose.

Problem with Black Rose is that mostly people that are using it on PvP are tough like a tank but also doing dmg like DD and have resource managment and selfhealing like healer.
Then blame Wronel he is the one who thought tanks needed a DPS boost he's he one who made thses changes he's the one who made the game horrbily un-balanced

I don't disagree with anything you just said, that is the way it feels in general between magicka and stamina. But I wonder why blackrose is specifically a problem. If I dueled you as a mDK the first difference would be our penetration. You would have 20% generic physical penetration from maul/mace along with sharpened I would have only a sharpened weapon. Which means my Black Rose has 0 armor and yours has most of it. If used a Destro staff I would only have penetration for Destro abilities rip DK. If I used light armor I would get a little penetration, 4884, but I would have to use active defenses such as shields which lower my dps.
...I think I'm starting to see the picture here. It's complex as heck and not immediately obvious but I see it now from imagining a duel with you. Taking Stam, which is already inherently broken, and giving it the passive defenses and healing of HA, with a straight stam dps set with bonus sustain would be monstrous.
I think the best course would be to change the stamina stat to magicka, at least one anyway. You guys might want to watch the wording though it's really confusing to see OP because the set is not unusual at face value. It's the gestalt effect that makes for an OP situation. When you hear OP you think nerf, and shifting stam to magicka isn't a nerf per say, but a change in direction.
Where would you place stamina build vs stamina build with BR?

People are mentioning this set got nerfed in DB dlc but fail to consider the constitution passive was buffed by well over what Black Rose was reduced by on DB (the reason for the nerf in the first place). Black Rose was a good set and was balanced when Imperial City came out. Its now over-performing with the changes to heavy Armour.
Reduce the bonus to constitution or reduce the weapon damage. Before, heavy Armour granted no increase to damage like it does now. The additional damage and constitution buffs to heavy Armour make Black Rose over the top compared to when it released in Imperial City dlc.
Thank you for stepping up. We need more competent players like you who know what is over-performing who also speak up about them for balance purposes. @SRIBES

It doesn't matter what magic builds think. When a set becomes so good that it out weighs every other stamina set for PvP, that's when you know it's an issue. If you don't use it you are gimping yourself. That limits stamina builds down to yet another BIS item set.
What do you mean for the chance to get back stats? It's guaranteed, on top of this you get weapon damage and you become tanky. I think you are biased towards the set, my good friends that use the set even admit it's OP. @Fasoo can confirmI really don't think it's OP (even though I use it).

I just don't think it is the end-all be-all set for stamina users. There are plenty of other sets being put to use at a high level. Black Rose gives me a bonus of about 300 stam/magicka regen if you're being hit. Compared to something as standard as hundings, we're trading 150 weapon dmg for the chance to get 300 stam/magicka regen. Nothing about that makes it seem ridiculous. There always has to be a best set out there. I don't think Black Rose pulls away from other sets enough to warrant an adjustment, especially since it is armor only.

Thing is nothing is unbalanced when they are viable for everyone... Anyone can run heavy armor... Everyone can run heavy armor. That's the definition of balance.
The 5 piece bonus does not seem all that OP. I mean, compare it to amberplasm.
With 7 heavy, you are getting back 1300 stamina/magicka every 4 seconds, if you get hit. Black rose increases this by 650.
650 resource return every 4 seconds is equal to 325 regen, but only if you are continually getting hit(and wear all-heavy). You also get 154 damage bonus.
The 5 piece amberplasm does slightly less - 300 regen - but then you get it always, not just when getting hit, so there are no missed ticks. You also are not limited to full heavy.
So basically, it is reliable 300 regen that is not limited by armor type against somewhat unreliable 325 regen that locks you into heavy with a moderate 154 dmg bonus attached.
The two 5-piece bonuses seem somewhat balanced to me (or at least there is no huge difference between them that would scream "OP" at me)
Remove all the block cost reduction *** that is around now, and black rose won't be OP because it won't provide enought sustain to permablock. If block cost goes back to normal levels, blackrose builds won't be as effective as they are right now. Blackrose is not OP, it just synergies to well with the current meta, and overperforms any other heavy armor set (mostly because other heavy armor sets are crap, unless you want to be a zombie tank that can't kill ***)
We need to go back to what it used to be, holding block too much will drain your stam and get you killed, stop rewarding bad players with *** metas.
Magika builds underperforming is another discussion for another day.

Confirmed
Black rose isn't overperforming just with block builds, most of the builds that are overperforming with it are actually 2h/bow builds.
