Proc Sets -> Ability Sets?

Seeing as proc sets are quite the rage now, I was wondering if the possibility of them being converted into 'Ability' sets would help with balance. This means that while they are still proc based, they now have much lower base numbers, but can scale according to max resources and/or Weapon or Spell Damage. Meaning to get the current values a player would need to spec into damage. If they went the tank route, there is still a proc, but it is much lower.

✭✭✭✭✭Proc damage sets are a good example of the problem of using one set of rules for two disparate game modes. Proc damage is balanced to be competitive at a DPS level in PVE (especially for less experienced players) which makes it OP at a burst level in PVP.
I would prefer PVP if it was limited to crafted armor and Cyrodiil/IC sets; perhaps with some pruning. This would also alleviate the gear grind for PVP players.6 -

✭✭✭✭✭I see a lot of suggestion on the forums on how proc-sets should be fixed. Most of the suggestion are often something in terms of an overall change that should be applied to all procsets. ZOS did this a few months ago (if I`m correct) by making proc-sets unable to do critical damage. And as far as I know this didn´t change much for the PvP-players (lets be honest, proc-sets isn´t really an issue in PvE). So the "global change" for proc-sets didn´t work out that time, and I doubt that a global rework on how all proc-sets works won´t solve things to the better if done again. And I also thinks it´s a lazy way of handling those things.
I Think ZOS needs to look at each individual damaging proc-set and tweak them one by one. Some of you Think that proc-sets doesn´t belong in an MMO but proc-sets was a thing Before One-Tamriel as well. Only thing that changed was that more were added. Proc-sets won´t be removed from the game, that´s not the way I think ZOS does things. Taking away item/gear that somehwat "belongs to the player" (since you have to play/farm the dungeons/content to get the proc-sets you want, or buy the stuff you need) will probably do more harm than good. Sure the game worked fine Before One-Tamriel without the newer proc-sets, but is that really an argument to remove them (in that case a lot of things that people go HAM about would be removed)??0 -

Skoria, Nerieneth or w/e etc. are examples or how proc sets should work. Viper, Tremor, Red Mountain, Selene, pirate (and more), some of these even with a really low % chance still proc on cooldown so something's wrong.
I agree and many other PVPers have, either bring in a global cooldown for proc sets (makes wearing more than 1 proc set useless, although some proc sets are still OP as a solo proc set in a build, red mountain. pirate and viper being the prime examples) or look at each individual proc set and adjust it. I'd prefer the second option.2 -
AdicusDio✭✭✭The sets are fine for PvE. Leave them alone. Took me awhile to gold everything including jewelry as well, so unless you want people saying "I've had it, I'm done with this game because you keep taking stuff away that we the players work hard to get perfect so I'm calling it quits", stop griping about PvE. Go run around bare-knuckled if you need to prove yourself.
FWIW, my "Killer's Blade" can do 28-30k crit damage (per strike) to 25%/lower health enemies. Ambush? I can get 40k crit damage with that which is 4 times what Red Mountain can do. That's actual 1-shot damage. Can 1-shot quite a few enemies with that. Viper? That barely does 7k (actual damage). Red Mountain? 8-9k (actual damage). If talking PvP and you wanted to counter that, put a poison and flame enchant on your jewelry to counter it......2 -

This so much. Sets like Viper (100% Procchance, 4s CD), Tumorscale (50% Procchance, 4s CD), Selene (30% Procchance when weaving, 45% when bash-weaving, 4s CD) are the problems and need to be adjusted individually, not to mention their damage is far higher than other procsets. Widowmaker is fine in my opinion since it is bound to Poison CD (10s), same for Red Mountain because the damage is nowhere near the other Sets and Velidreth has a high CD. Anyone noticed theres not a single magicka based procset overperforming?

Avran_Sylt✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Seems many arguments are to change the individual stats of proc sets so that they become more balanced in both PvE and PvP. This is why I think they should be considered abilities:
PvE: Players stack the ever living shite outta damage and max resources, so if the current proc sets were revalued to scale to their current values if the player is at absurd amounts of spell/weapon/resources, this keeps those sets at the same relative effectiveness in PvE.
PvP: Players stack resistances/shields/max resources so they can survive assaults by those PvE builds mentioned above while still being competitive. Current proc sets without scalings allow for players to make up the damage that they lose by having very high base damages. If proc sets were scaled much like regular abilities, they'd have trade offs much like the rest of the players abilities would have if they go the tanky/sustain route.0 -

Skoria is as bad Selene, worst even as it hits AOE. Procs very often and hits very hard. Usually it is the burst of the DK. And makes magplar amazing.
Grothdar, Nerienth, stormfist. These are fantastic proc sets. Extremely telegraphed not instant upfront burst.
If valkyn was turned to a dot over it's cool down. If Selene a bleed over it's cool down period, same with viper red mountain. These would still be strong and add dot pressure. But would not be BAM your dead. WTF hit me. If they were all easily dodgeable/blockable like Selene that too would be amazing. But just Turning them I to a dot and giving obvious indicators that they are active would fix them.1 -

All the classes have access to fast attacking skills. Flame lash, jabs hits instantly and 4 times in 1.1 seconds, force pulse, suprise attack, shoot the slowest ability to start doing damage with is dizzying swing. What's wrong with these abilities?
And I'd argue that those that rely on dots would now be able to dot someone up so much it would apply a ton of pressure. As is when I used vicecannon sheer venom poison injection crafted double poisons. The dot pressure was extremely high many just died to the dots It was a fun way to play.
Now a dk would be able to have a strong procced valkyn dot on top of their 2 class dots. And if they time it right and lock someone down and flame lash that's a whole lot of damage going off through dots and not just an instant BLAM! Death!
Though I think in the end they just need to be killed. Proc damage sets should be killed but won't so it's better IMO to find ways that make them more balanced in PvP. While maintaining their usefulness in PVE.0 -
