I would like to see some monster sets that would greatly improve the tooltips of Weapon/Class offensive or defensive Abilities.
This would bring a variety on builds and add personal flavors.
Some lame overperforming sers like Velidreth, Selene and Valkyn Skoria could be changed in the above manner.
Some sets that are not being used anymore could be changed in the above manner.


PS. Can we get some Knightish monster helmets and some big looking shoulders in the new DLCs.

PS 2. I would buy crowns for an option to have the monster shoulders on both sides.

i would pay crowns for a shoulder-less option for monster sets.

DEFILER SET

While you're working on sets, could you please take a look at fixing the Defiler 5pc bonus?

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4285656

I think the defiler set should remain as is.
I don't think ranged attacks should proc pets that traverse the battlefield ... there's enough visual clutter from the barrage of arrows, fire balls, lighting bolts, magic attacks, not to mention the siege weapons. I'm not interested in adding to that mix an army of defilers too. Too much visual clutter, too much lag.

The defiler set works best when up close and personal in melee combat (the 'proc' --> 'barf' --> 'de-spawn' cycle occurs rather quickly (while still allowing 'counter play')).

On the lighter side:
The defiler has a mind (albeit zombie like) of its own:

• There have been times when soloing pve trash mobs I didn't realize it proc'ed until I happen to turn around (it decided to go after one of the trash mobs behind me or off to the side of me);
• There have been other times when, in the middle of a bunch of trash mobs, it took a few steps, stopped, did nothing and then died (I think it got overwhelmed);
• Last, but not least, there were times when I used my bow 'just outside' of melee range against a single pve target when the defiler proc'ed ... and each time I stood there and watched those skinny monster legs do their wobbly jaunt as I heard myself say "You can do it!' ... just hilarious.

This is the official feedback thread for the new item sets and monster masks, and general itemization improvements. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

• Do you plan to use these new item sets or Monster Masks when this update goes live?
• How desirable do you find these new items?
• Did you unlock any Collectibles? If so, what did you think of them?
• Do you have any other general feedback?

It would be cool if you could start being more creative with the 5-sets that come with each dlc, atm its basicly mostly proccsets you publish. Your playerbase has had enough of proccsets, ok gg.

After testing I must say that in terms of PvE DPS Domihaus set is pretty underwhelming. Circle is big it have 10 meters radius but it deals dmg only on 2 meters perimeter not inside so in real fight that mean You wont deal dmg that often so You'll have 200 spell/wep dmg with 60% uptime which is basicly the same like wearing kena 1 piece. Even when I was standing in perfect distance set itself was doing ~1k DPS so usually it'll be much much less. We can say that 2nd piece of set in real fight will give us ~120 spell dmg and 500 DPS. That's not impressive

My suggestion is to lower circle radius maybe to 8 meters but making it that it'll deal dmg inside. I get the idea that animation of circle and this how it's working is copy of one of last boss mechanics but there is another circle there with mechanic that deals dmg inside and would be much better for that monster set.

Agreed. Make it deal damage within the circle as well.

When i read about the set i was like waw this is gonna be awesome. But after testing it i am not impressed @all...

On a sidenote i really like the buff 2 Nerien’eth, but the 1 piece need 2 be mag or spell dam.

1 yes
2 Earthgore and Draugr´s Rest will be used in my Werewolf pack, so very desirable
3 no

4 EARTHGORE
a) Earthgore is bugged - it procs at 80 or even 90% - do not only fix it, but lower the necessary health to proc to 40% so that its looong cooldown is not wasted.

Shadowrend and Warden Tanks:

This 2-piece now seems like a great way to get an important tanking debuff usable to Wardens. However, it calls the question: 1h/shield tanks have 12 set slots to work with vs 11 for macigka/frost staff warden. So yes, the debuff is great, but is it better than the 5 piece from another set (Alkosh, Green Pact, etc.)? That's a horrible choice to force on Wardens. Either we use 1h/s or stick with frost staff and lose a set bonus.

Now would be a great time to fix the dw vs 2h set imbalance. Clearly ZOS wants frost staff tanking to be a thing, but losing a final set bonus is going to be fatal when compared to 1h/s tanks.

I don't think sets that proc from something are the problem. Just sets that proc direct damage. They did a great job of making unavoidable damage procs avoidable, which was the biggest issue, but it's still your set doing damage for you instead of you yourself especially when it's not tied to a narrow condition. This continues to create overly strong tanks who don't have to invest into damage because the proc sets don't scale off of anything.

If sets procced interesting and powerful mechanics that players could skillfully utilize, they would be a compiment to skill instead of a substitute for it.

The issue with proc sets won't go away unless Selene's, Tremorscale, and Valkyn each get a damage nerf.

In CP camapign they are fine,

Problem is non cp compaign and battlegrounds.

Nerf is not too reduce damage or they will become another useless set!

FEEDBACK ON DOMIHAUS MOSTER SET

The following images are identical parses, with only the monster set changed. The first uses Grothdarr, and the second uses Domihaus:

WITH GROTHDARR


WITH DOMIHAUS


After a number of parses, it did seem like Domihaus consistently performs slightly better than Grothdarr given that the target remains stationary and the player is exactly 10 meters away from the target, so that the fire ring always lands on the target.

The fire ring itself does 1120 dps in the above parse, peaking at 1655 damage per tick when things like Minor Vulnerability and the Exploiter passive are active.

Overall dps gain from the additional 200 extra spell damage while standing inside the fire ring is also noticeable, adding about 100-300 dps to each ability (though crits and other things also are factors contributing to skill dps difference).

So, for Domihaus, the PROS are:
- Slightly higher overall dps due to the combination of fire ring dps and spell damage dps buff
- Large circle provides room to move out of red while still retaining the spell damage buff
- Potential to hit any target 10 meters away in any direction, incentivizing play from a 10 meter distance (good for ranged players that struggle to use Grothdarr in group content where being near the boss is dangerous)
- Adds that are approaching you will get hit by the wall, at least for one tick of damage

CONS are:
- The ring is static, it does not move with the player like Grothdarr
- The area in which a target takes damage on the ring is small and easy to miss. If a boss moves a couple steps forward or back he will take no damage from the ring, making this set much less powerful.

CONCLUSIONS:
- If Grothdarr is not a good option for you as a ranged player in group content, this set is a viable alternative. Positioning the ring over the boss will be the key to maximizing its dps potential, which means you'll want to be playing with tanks who know how to keep a boss in one place. In fights where the boss moves around a lot, this set will get hurt, though less than something like Ilambris, because you can retain your 200 spell/weapon damage buff even if the boss is not inside the fire circle.
- Overall, I like this set. However...

SUGGESTION:
I think that the fire ring should be expanded inward to include at least 3 meters of area from the perimeter. 1 meter (which is what I believe it is now) feels too narrow a target to reliably hit.
Edit: After some further consideration, I think there needs to be an additional effect inside the ring that is harmful to enemies, whether it is to still do the fire/physical ring damage all the way inside the circle or to apply a debuff. What about Minor Fracture/Breach? As it stands, the whole idea of it being like your "house" doesn't really fit if the enemy doesn't have a reason to be scared about actually being inside the circle.

No, no, no. This forum is filled with people that want to be immortal and also be able to kill everything. So they cry for nerfs for every ability, class and set that has ever killed them...
They also cry for nerfs to every counter to their attacks...

Great writeups @dpencil1. Thanks for taking the time to do that!

I added this to my post above about the Domihaus set, but wanted to put it in its own post as well in case it gets missed:

I think all damage proc sets should be changed to "hybrid damage proc sets" where the base value of the proc is relatively high (10k?) and is decreased by the difference between your highest and lowest stat (stam/mag/health)

Players that min/mx and stack all 1 stat don't get much from them. Players that have a well balanced set of stats and more hybrid in nature can use them to remain competitive and encourage some build diversity.

As cool as this would be, there would be a lot of rage about it... (tho it would benefit my hybrids alot)
