Is this the worst 5th slot bonus in the game?

Buffer of the Swift
(2 items) Adds 4% Healing Taken
(3 items) Adds 1064 Max Health

Haha. ZOS must just have a random trait generator.

Ashen Grip
(2 items) Adds 1064 Max Health
(3 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(4 items) Adds 688 Weapon Critical
(5 items) When you deal direct melee damage, you have a 10% chance to breath fire to all enemies in front of you for 1544 Flame Damage. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds.

This is before battle spirit reduction so its about 750 fire damage (on a set that buffs weapon damage). Proc sets OP.

I'd be very very very very surprised if anyone buys gold jewlery for this

Wow, I just realized something. I could make a build that pairs these sets together! I can spend 1.5 million AP between this week and next on gold Buffer of the Swift jewelry, simply grab two more armor pieces from the Cropsford vendor, then craft myself some gold Ashen Grip to go with it! I can then round out my build with two pieces of Spawn of Mephala.

5 pc Buffer of the Swift
5 pc Ashen Grip
2 pc Spawn of Mephala

Try and stop me in Cyrodiil, muhahahahaha!

Mephala is OK (about 1k AoE DPS with a reliable proc), Nerien'eth is MUCH worse (about 1.2k DPS in theory, but with only a 10% proc chance).

Also:
Galerion's Revenge
(2 items) Adds 688 Spell Critical
(3 items) Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) When you deal damage with a Light or Heavy Attack, you put a Mark of Revenge on the enemy for 15 seconds. After stacking 6 Marks of Revenge on an enemy they detonate for 4730 Magic Damage.

A 600 single target DPS 5-piece.

Galerion would be cool if everyone's marks stacked so that you could activate the proc every 2 seconds in a dungeon.

BTW did anyone ever test this?

They probably cancel each other out so the stack stays at a permanent count of one

No, wait, this might be the ideal thing for the dps that literally do nothing other than spam bow light attacks... and hide behind the healer... and wears at least 5-heavy... and has 30k hp... where was I going with this?

What makes me sad, is that this type of set is exactly the awesome type of set ESO is missing.

Sets that improve/alter existing skills or skills lines. We see stuff like this in a ton of other games like Diablo 3.

For example, this set could allow Soul Trap to instead deal 300% more damage but over a 12 second period and to only one target, while causing explosions every 2 seconds on that target dealing X damage which can spread Soul Trap to up to 5 new nearby targets.

Stuff like that. New, powerful effects. Switching Damage Types. Adding new synergies. Totally changing up what a skill does. Etc etc.

Instead we have a huge amount of sets that are way too weak to ever see use, with sets that feel "awesome" meaning proc sets like Viper's Sting or Selene's that deal high burst damage for you -_-

That set would be good for a character that likes to jump off the top of high buildings like an acrobat.

LegendaryMage · July 2017

ESO has a lot of old sets that haven't been updated for years. In the meantime a lot of new sets showed up and the old ones cannot compete anymore.

From my own testing, shields do nothing to fall damage

This, which I say only because it's a crutch people have been leaning against to make up for skill differences that's about to be swooped out from under them come Horns of the Reach.
