Minor Slayer But No Major Slayer?

Ch4mpTW · October 2016

How exactly does 1 go about getting a set that has the "Major Slayer" buff? Or how does 1 even obtain Major Slayer? Or does it not even exist yet? Minor Slayer grants 5% extra damage to dungeon and trial enemies, so where and how does someone get the major version? Also, does Major Slayer deal 8%-10% more damage to dungeon and trial enemies?

There isn't one.
There's several buffs where there's a minor but no major or vice versa.

Major Maim, Major Mangle and Major Heroism also don't exist afaik

If Minor Slayer does 5% extra, that means Major Slayer probably does 15 or 20% extra Damage, which would be crazy. So, it doesn't exist at the moment. Same with Major Aegis, as that would make tanking lazily easy.

Come to think of it, you're right. Well damn, I had never even thought about that before. Why don't they exist, if a minor versions exists? Is ZOS saving it for a future expansion/update?

Minor Expedition didn't used to exist, either. I was once excited to get it til they nerfed all other forms of speed boost, first potions and then Fiord's, Ophidian, etc.

Agreed, except that Major Heroism exists as 120 points bonus in Ritual constellation...

They don't exist as they would be overpowered as @Mic1007 said. Same reason why Major Maim, Mangle and Heroism don't exist. If Major Heroism existed, the ultimate regen would be ridiculous.

Last Stand

(Unlocks at The Ritual Rank 120) When you fall below 20% Health gan Major Heroism which grants 18 Ultimate over 8 seconds. Can only occur once every 20 seconds.

Whoopsies

I thought the Templars' ultimate nova had Major Maim

I never knew that actually. Hm... Do you think maybe champion points could also grant Major Slayer in future updates then, if Major Heroism does in fact exist, and has existed this whole time?

Edit: Come to think of it, should Major Slayer be placed in the Mage champion point tree? That way magicka users can have access to it, if stamina users get access to Major Heroism? Because let's be honest, the Ritual champion tree is for stamina (primarily). ZOS could do something like allowing you to have access to it if a certain amount of monsters are killed, you'd gain Major Slayer for "X" amount of time. Plus, give it a cooldown of like maybe 5mins. or something along those lines so it's fair.

I'd expect Major Slayer (as well as Major Aegis) to make an appearance in the future as part of racial ultimates or new trial sets via short duration synergies. Any other way would be really imbalanced.
