Willpower, Agility and Endurance didn't get buffed

Hexys · July 2017

So all the 2-3-4 item pieces that are giving max stats got boosted by around 10%, but the IC sets Willpower, Agility and Endurance remain untouched and still have the live value.

Was this intended? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Universally adjusted the values of some 1, 2, 3, and 4-piece bonus stats for all Item Sets:
Max Health, Magicka, or Stamina has been increased by 13.3%
Weapon Critical or Spell Critical rating has been increased by 55%
Physical or Spell Resistance has been increased by 13.8%
Physical or Spell Penetration has been decreased by 22%

Willpower, endurance and agility 2pc bonuses remain unchanged though, thus losing their "competitive edge"... Please apply the buff to them as well, as they are 2-3pc bonuses as well

Just letting you all know that these were intentionally not changed.

As mentioned above, they already replied. It is intended. I express my worries though as i thought it was convenient set for beginners / rerolls

Aah thanks! Allright, well that's a little bummer though, it would have been a nice addition.

Pretty much, shame because you could of done 5PC/monster set/weapon set/maelstrom as an alternate to 2x 5pc/1 of monster or maelstrom.

Shame for magicka users

shame for magicka? 5 pc + 2 monster + agility + vma/master 2h-bow are really popular builds

I've been using Agility in PvP since the launch of IC, but without buffing it along with the other sets I'm going to store it away. Having two 5-piece sets is just too good now.

worsttankever · July 2017

Sucks. 3x agility etc is a choice instead of another 5x bonus or monster set. Wish they kept the edge or those 3x sets.

ManDraKE · July 2017

5pc +2monster+3 agility/willpower+vma/master weapons are ideal for builds with 2h weapons like 2h+bow or destro+resto. With this change this kind of builds will fail behind compared to 1h&s/DW builds that can benefit of using 5+5+2. Forcing all 2h weapons builds to use 5+5+1 is really suboptimal and kills a lot of build diversity.

Your not forced to wear gear like that. Almost all my builds in Pvp with 2h/bow or destro/resto all utilizes 2 5pc sets and a monster set. Just have to build it right.

Bone Pirate + Hunding's it is then! Shame... I liked my Bloodspawn

Still very good sets.

Not adjusting them up keeps them good but makes raid quality jewelry BIS for end game content but by no means a game breaking amount.

It is not even close to being useless.

It is still better then almost anything except 3 piece monster slayer sets

Monster slayer sets in PVE were better before already. They even got buffed by the global change (if they had max stat as first piece if there is any that does not)

The effect of these 3piece sets were that they were as good as 4 piece. Like Monster masks are at 1 piece as good as 2 pieces. Now all 4 piece sets are better than them, because they are worth 3.78 pieces now and some math folks will probably figure any 3piece set with 2 crits is better for DPS or very close.

So If you run 5/5/2 you were never running them, if you run 5/3/2 with master/maelstorm you were never running them unless you did not have the better ones or you were forced by limiting mechanic in PVP with 2H weapons. So this screws up anyone that either did not have the best sets or was PVPing with staff/bow/2H and wanted to use something different than one of the 5 sets that work from back bar
