Magicka got some very nice new sets, like Medusa, for example, plus old sets like Martial Knowledge are being brought back. And magic users always had incredibly OP sets like Lich and Warlock, so I'm ever surprised to ever see them whine about sets. TBS is as good for magic as it is for stamina, and for healers too. I'm only left to assume that because magic-based playstyle is harder to master to some extent, there are more whiners in the general mass of magic users. Magic sorcs, nightblade bombers and templar permatroll-fullhealthbeamers are stll quite OP, which is proven even by moderately experienced players.

Clearly you've only played stamina, sets complement a skill set greatly and with the way things are such as magic sorcs having a skill line full of toggles you lose utility, so sets are used to compensate for the underperformance which in my opinion is a half-arse solution rather than fixing the problem. This is the case with a lot of magic based classes (another example is magic Dragonknight), you can see how generic and less diverse the sets have become compared to sets back in Orsinium release and this forces players to run with specific gear with a narrow selection of viable combinations in order to perform moderately in end-game content.

It never was about, "learn to play" as the game is actually quite easy, it's the fact it is boring once you have the few viable sets with a certain skill set. Let players have variety and sets that actually support a playstyle, don't let those specific sets be the "fixes" for abilities that are weak to begin with. Just look at Oblivion's Foe for an example...

Where are the 9 trait crafting sets for magic players? Why are all the new sets so generic that elemental/physical forms of damage/resistance are absent? It was always interesting to find a set that that specifically frost driven attributes such as "when dealing frost damage" or giving frost resistance, as this would promote the use of useless destruction staff and counter other sets/enemies in pve/pvp, making that person specialized and unique.

Why does light armor have to have 2 passives for magic cost reduction and magic recovery, while medium armor has stamina counterparts of those two passives in one?

I keep hearing that magic is suppose to underperform DPS oppose to stamina as they are suppose to be more utility based, well why is the new destruction staff ultimate offering 0 effects and raw damage unless you morph it to Elemental Rage? The effects are the same recycled ones that you get for slotting an elemental enchantment or wall of elements (which has an addition elemental effect), while those being far more cheap to use. I just don't understand what is going through ZoS' mind it's like they've never played their own game.
