ZOS-Meridia's Blessed Armor ( No Animation )

WeylandLabs · January 2017

I really like this set, but unfortunately it has no animation when it is activated. So i do not know when i have 100% dodge chance for 5 sec. Please look into, as it is not a bug but no animation has been set for it ever.

You don't get the animation. The enemy does. It puts little sparkles around them.

WeylandLabs · January 2017

But thats not what im saying, im saying i do not know when its active so i can counter enemies skills and abilities. I dont care if the enemy see it, im saying i and other players want to see it.

You have to turn up your speakers to hear the npcs screaming "zee goggles they do nuffing".

You both see it on the adds. But you know it doesn't work on 99% of bosses now as way back someone cheesed vmol with it.

You will see a sparkle on the npc or olayer2 affected. It takes time to get used to but test it on wolves till you see the proc.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PVE AND NPCS LOL

PLAYERS ATTACKING ME I CARE ABOUT, AND I HAVE TESTED IT A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THIER IS NO ANIMATION. THE SPARKLE I KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING BUT IT DOES NOT WORK WHEN ENEMIES ATTACKING YOU. I DO NOT SEE NOTHING IN LAG OR OUT OF LAG.

I use this set all the bloody time in PVP. I know 100% when its applied against players. They get a very clear sparkle around the affected players. If you cant see that then thats a YOU problem not an ESO problem. Sometimes when you are swarmed its hard to see who is proced.

I'm not saying you're wrong. But with the amount of UI bugs and latency issues in this game, it's hard to be absolutely sure that it's the fault of @Shokasegambit1 .

I think you are misunderstanding the set. It doesn't doesn't apply any kind of buff to you. It doesn't give you 100% to dodge as you mentioned earlier - it gives THEM a 100% chance to miss - so there shouldn't be any effect on you. It instead applies a debuff to the affected enemy - so he has sparkly effect on him - so you need to look at the guy you are fighting. And don't forget, you have to block to trigger it - and it has a cooldown.

This means that if its a 2v2 - and it procs on enemy 1 - Enemy 1 will now miss when attacking both you and your ally. Enemy 2 can still hit you and also hit your ally.

I tested it too with a friend, because I couldn't figure out when it was up or not. The sparkles are subtle - but they are there.

Unless you are talking about when the enemy is wearing that set and it procs on you so you always miss? yeah, I'm not sure what you would see then - apart from all your attacks missing - but no dodge animation from the enemy..

WeylandLabs · January 2017

All im saying is for Zos to have a better or reliable visual animation when it is activated. Becuase i dont use this in pve Vdsa, Vmsa ,or trials im saying. I cannot see when this animation when im getting zerged down i understand the concept behind it.

I dont care if they put a giant turd above my head when the set is working, and have the damn turd disappear when it is not.

Also nobody knows if its stacking becuase of the visual effect. Does the set have a world cooldown or a cooldown for that enemy ? The fact on the set that it says "them" thus individualizing the persons/enemies.

Biro123 · January 2017

It doesn't stack - the cooldown is based on the set, not per enemy. You can only blind one enemy at a time with it - then another one 5 seconds after it wears off.

What use would it be having a giant turd over your head if it doesn't tell you which enemy has been blinded by it? It only makes sense having the effect on the enemy which is affected by it, surely?

because of this, it isn't much use in zerg situations. Since it doesn't work on bosses, its not much use in PVE either.. In fact, its probably only any good for duelling, where its probably overpowered.

It only procs on one person. It's an offensive proc. A single enemy player is affected by it and gets sparkles around them.

This set is more of a cheeseball dueling set than a 1vX set since it only hits one player every 10s.

DRXHarbinger · January 2017

They are also probably purging it and it's very easy to tell if you're affected by it.

I've dueled a few people using it. If you can't purge it, there is absolutely no killing them if they're a little tanky. Stam DK using it along with two damage sets and SnB+2h is disgusting in duels.

Lol I did that today on my Sorc. No hope. I just ran away.

I use it on a stam sorc with spriggans and 1kena 1 krag. 5 medium 2 heavy. Sword and board, robust neck and chest and legs meridia. Its a great way to dark deal without being interrupted. 5 seconds is more than enough time to get all my hp and resources back to full and reset the fight. Can be OP when mixed with shuffle in duals.

Ive had the most hate tells sent to me using this set. People think its shuffle alone and arent familiar with it.

Ive had great success using it in Cyrodiil as well. Its a gankers nightmare. If I know there is a ganker in the area I shield up and just wait to get ganked. More often than not it procs and they are dead. Also good in 1 v2 or 3 situations. Silencing one person can make a difference in a fight. Ill isolate a nightblade or RD spamming temp and shield up and take them out first. Allowing me to set the tone of the fight.

"I can't see this animation when I'm getting zerged down"

I think that sums up pvp in eso fairly well

Lol. True enough. If some someone is using this set while zerg surfing they deserve to die. Its real potential is small scale and duals. It wont save you from 5 eye of the storms.

Take it into the sewers to see it truly shine. If you can actually find someone in there lol.

There are always people in there with the Alchemy bags now. Problem is you often find HUGE PVE zergs running around. It's still the best small scale action you can find, but you still get run over by 20 people all the time like you do in Cyro.

WeylandLabs · January 2017

Also has anyone tested it, with destro ultimates ? As i feel this woud be the only counter to it in the game.

nordsavage · January 2017

It has an animation. The effected enemy receives a clear shower of sparks on proc. Secondary effect is now you have to run because your gank did not work.

The counter for eye of the storm from a tanking perspective is 5 bastion of the heartland, 5 lekis, blade cloak and cp. Bastion is 20% less AOE dam, lekis is 25, blade cloak is 20 and cp is another 20%. Thats 85% less damage. With the change to AP bag pricing Ill be running this with malubeth on my stam DK in the next update.

Kutsuu · January 2017

One of my stamsorc builds runs quick cloak + leki's on a DW back bar (with 2h front). EoTS from a full-on DPS build crit me for 2500 when I'm running that. Pretty nice.

I think I saw your video a short while ago. Build looked good in action. Its a great combo. In a stam DK you can get around the 25% aoe healing debuff of lekis by using Igneous shield which is why I see it pairing best with that. Templar gets the same but stamplars arent exactly up to the same level as stam sorcs and DK.
