[Community Project] SET BONUS THINK-TANK

dpencil1 · July 2017

Hello and welcome to the ESO Set Bonus Think-Tank, an ongoing community project to offer interesting and creative ideas to the dev team for 5-piece and monster 2-piece gear sets!

The rational behind this project is twofold. First, more heads are better than one (or however many devs work on set bonus ideas). Sure, some suggestions may not end up being feasible, but we also might get some great ones that could eventually find their way into the game. Second, complaining about too many proc sets is easy, but if you want to see some interesting non-proc sets in the game, put some thought into making a suggestion of your own. Let's work proactively to show the dev team the kind of set bonuses we would like to see instead of just being negative.

Please follow these guidelines when posting:

1. Only ONE set bonus suggestion per post! You do not need to speficy whether the set bonus would be for a 5-piece or 2-piece set, nor indicate other 1-4 piece bonuses, but you may if you wish. You can make multiple posts back to back, but we need each idea to be seperate because...

2. Use the

AWESOME reaction to indicate your interest in someone's idea. Think of this like Upvoting. It should help the devs easily see which set bonus ideas garner significant attention.

3. Although a contributor may include numberic values in their set bonus suggestion, please consider all numbers as "subject to change." I would rather not get hung up on complaints about suggested values being too OP or too weak. The values can simply act as a rough estimate or, if you are submitting an idea, you can just use [X] if you prefer.

4. There are no restrictions to the kinds of mechanics a set bonus can have. If you have an idea for a set, whether it procs off of something or not, feel free to post it. ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME!

I hope we can get some good ideas and thoughtful discussion here that will be helpful to the dev team and healthy for the game.

So...ready, set, THINK!

A universal screaming cliff racer buff:

Far-Seerer's Mantle
Increase the damage of skills with a range of 28 meters by 1% for every 2 meters away you are from the target.

This would provide more incentive for ranged players to try and maximize their distance from the target.

@JamieAubrey Might want to add a cooldown to that...

Tyrobag · July 2017

Key:
<pow>= power
<dur>= duration
<rad>= radius
(##)= Suggested value

Heavy Armor, Hardening Shell:
2pc: Health Buff
3pc: Spell Resist Buff
4pc: Armor Buff
5pc: When you take damage, your Armor and Spell Resistance are increased by <pow> for <dur>(10) seconds.

Interesting ganking set, but it doesn't fit the syntax for set bonuses.
It should be:
2pc: Genaric raw stat buff
3pc: Genaric raw stat buff
4pc: Genaric raw stat buff
5pc: Special function

The way you have it, every ganker in Tamriel would be wearing two pieces of that, and no more.
Perhaps removing cohesion and merging the 2pc and 4pc buffs as the 5pc instead.

Avran_Sylt · July 2017

@Tyrobag
So, something more like:

Azura's Raiment
(2pc) Increases Max Magicka
(3pc) Increases Max Health
(4pc) Increases Max Stamina
(5pc) Using a Stamina Ability restores [y] Magicka | Using a Magicka Ability restores [z] Stamina. Each effect has a cooldown of 2 seconds.

Nocturnal's Shadow
(2pc) Increases Max Stamina
(3pc) Increases Max Stamina Regen
(4pc) Increases Max Magicka Regen
(5pc) Attacking from Stealth grants you Empower for [x] seconds. When entering Stealth, gain Major Expedition for [x] seconds.

Cooldown of 1 second xD

dpencil1 · July 2017

Lol, ok. Honestly a cooldown of 1 min might actually be kinda balanced, so it basically would be a bomber build set.

russelmmendoza · July 2017

Master Archer set. Gold.
2pc. +200 bow damage.
3pc. +1000 crit chance.
4pc. +1000 crit damage.

I'll do a joke one, just for fun.

Infallible Asayre
On any damage, a fractal diffusion coefficient is applied to the sum of all critical damage done over 10 seconds. Over the next 10 seconds, if you jump exactly the number of times equal to the square root of the previous result, rounded to the nearest integer, do 100,000 damage in a 10 meter radius and earn a college degree. This set has a 20 second cooldown.

@Asayre

MisterBigglesworth · July 2017

Acrolas · July 2017

Panzergeist

1 piece: Minor Vitality (Healing taken increased by 8%)
2 piece: Passively increases your dodge chance by 5%. Increases the chance and duration of Minor and Major Evasion by 8%.

LadyNalcarya · July 2017

I think it would be interesting to have something like robe of the lich from original Morrowind, a set that would give a huge buff to magicka, spell damage and magicka regen, with heavy debuffs to hp, healing recieved and health regen. Maybe even with a constant hp drain on top of that. So it would give insanely high dps, but a player would have to be super careful to make it work.
I dont even know if that would work in ESO, but I think a "tradeoff" set would be fun.

Yea over the last 2 decades or so I have always been a rogue like character with dual daggers (or short swords) along with a bow, regardless of how unbalanced games were. Something about staves and magic I just don't like.
