lol...those sets would be a nightmare for me.

Not gank protection, but something similar.

5 piece set:

5th piece - All beams are reflected back at the caster with 20% bonus damage.

Gah, those sets would be too powerful :P Why not just slot radiant magelight? That's pretty much one ability that negates a lot of stealther damage.

As it stands, stealth attacks really aren't much more powerful than a regular attack. I wish that were different, I really want to be more of a stealth character than anything else.

More than new sets, I think it would be cool if there was an option to specialize in a certain play style, even more than we already do. As it is now, the only consequence of a certain play style versus another is that you miss out on having certain abilities slotted, or armor set bonuses, which isn't enough to matter. Champion points are too global, too. We always have one build that's the best for each class in pve and pvp.

It'd be cool if they expanded certain skill lines to have passives that affected your character globally in a positive AND a negative way so you can take your build to an extreme.

Like for instance, say I want my char to really focus on being an 'assassin', in the dark brotherhood skill line I could add points to decrease my stealth detection radius, and damage out of stealth, and evasion, BUT to also decrease my physical & spell resistances, as well as reduce my healing received. Basically, trade defense for offense when using stealth.

Or, maybe if I wanted to be more like a 'paladin', in some skill line I could add points to increase my resistances to physical damage, crit strikes, elemental damage, reduce blocking costs, and increase my healing received.

As a 'spell sword', points added increase weapon enchantment potency, dual wield damage, and attack speed, but reduces defenses, evasion chance, and healing received.

Something like that, just to make it a little easier to create more kinds of playstyles.

You mean THIS?

Bad idea, you can prevent getting ganked by buffing yourself up e.g. shuffle, shields, hardened armor etc.
A good ganker will wait till your buffs are gone, so always buff yourself up at alltimes even if you think your safe.
Wear impen, it helps alot and always keep an eye on your horse stamina. If you get ganked, it's you fault.

If they make sets like these, it would ruin the stealthy playstyle.

Thats such a bad idea. If a ganker can kill you within a few seconds then you have the problem

Ever heard of the para bellum set?
5 items: After not taking damage for 10 seconds gain a 12040 Damage Shield.
That should protect you from most gankers.

With the amount of QQ on other threads to nerf damage mitigation (heavy armor specifically), I would imagine that if this suggestion were to go ahead, gankers would band together against this idea and cause a massive uproar on the forums.

Damage and penetration is out of control as it is and will only get worse in the next update. Let's hope the developers introduce / bring back mechanics that would improve gameplay for everyone. Softcaps is a possible alternative IMO.

So the fact there are literally no limits to DPS isn't enough for people? They want a NERF to what LITTLE DEFENSE WE HAVE against the race for DPS? Seriously if they nerf damage mitigation you may as well rename this game Elder Scroll Online: Ganking Unlimited.

I want this monster set.

1 piece - 400 critical resistance.
2 piece - you take no dmg from procced monster sets such as velidreth or valkyn etc, and if hit by them you gain 10 ultimate.

Keep on dreaming there palsy lol

So you are suggesting a set where we fart when ganked?

Did you try reactive set with radiant magelight?

Step 1: Watch NB do his thing and fail no stun...laugh.
Step 2: Watch NB do his fear and fail damage reduction...laugh.
Step 3: Kill squishy NB with your preferred class / weapon skills.

Special Step: Have 7 piece heavy and shield for added frustrating on wannabe ganker.
