Aegis and Slayer buffs - in PvP?!
SirCritical
✭✭✭✭✭
I was thinking about how to make trial gear more interesting for PvPers. Just a pure theoretical approach of course. What would happen if the 'dungeon-buffs' (Major and Minor Aegis and Slayer) would have an effect on players also? How could this be implemented to avoid gamechanger\gamebreaker result?

In the current state of these buffs, this would ruin PvP.

With some changes on non-trial sets (adding these buffs to here and there) it could be viable.

With adjusting these buffs (raise\lower percents) it could be viable.

Since these are obtainable just from trials (needs group, needs farming etc. so collecting them means some issues) even the current status would be acceptable.

It's healthy to have different tools for different jobs, one size fits all just doesn't work. Would make the sets OP.
What's the requirement? Ie why suggest this?
Trials have no interest for me at all, last thing I want to do is to farm anything to go PvPing. (I am a PvEer by the way, trials are just dull)
It's good to need different setups. And PvP setups are easier to get sorted as it is. Trials meta BIS 0.01% gain must haves can stay in that niche!

That would mean that these sets in their current status, without any changes/adjustments would fit to PvP. Sorry.0

Interesting. While this is off-topic, you would think it would be cool if we had PvP-crafted sets besides Assassin's Guile (are there any more?).0 -

Right? Or more BOP gear necessary for anything anywhere ever. If I liked to grind the same content over and over and over again I wouldn't be PvPing.Classes that don't need any class ability nerfs: Nightblades, Dragonknights, Sorcs, Templars, Wardens.1 -

Yes, the same thoughts here, I think - except maybe Vicious Ophidian - none of the other trial sets would be OP.Edited by SirCritical on July 24, 2017 9:45AM0 -
redshirt_49✭✭✭✭In the current state of these buffs, this would ruin PvP.PvE sets shouldn't be usable in PvP at all. Separating the two would make life so much simpler for everyone.
And it would prevent one-shot kills because the RNG gods have blessed the Selene bearer with simultaneous procs on all their sets.2 -

Hundings outperforms VO as a pure damage set, even if you only benefit from the 5p only on your front bar in PvE. VO would indeed be some kind of more aggressive version of Marksman's crest, which would be a pretty decent option.
Agility or Willpower would be preferable over 3p VO or Moondancer, as the first ones provide literally the same damage (we're talking about an order of 1%) while also buffing the healing / defense - since Slayer doesn't help in this regard.
Aegis saw no use on any PvE build, same thing for PvP - reason being the way mitigation is calculated.
For short: making those set bonuses work in PvP would change basically nothing.PC EU - Zahraji of the Void, aka "Kitty", the fluffiest salmon genocider in town.

✭✭✭✭✭Other (please explain, I'm curious)5% isn't that much, though. Yes, 3p Minor Slayer is better than 3p Willpower/Agility, but just barely. Having the bonuses everywhere in the game isn't going to cause any issues of balance.
That having been said, I do like the flavor offered by domain-specific sets. There are PvP sets that have bonuses that apply only when fighting other players, and it makes sense to have similar PvE sets, so I see no reason to change the status quo.

Merlin13KAGL✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭Other (please explain, I'm curious)How about "No?"
Lack of separation of PvP effects on PvE and vice versa are one of the biggest issues resulting in the 'balance changes' we experience on a regular basis now.
There is PvP specific gear. There is PvE specific gear. Leave them the hell alone and they don't have to try to balance said gear for both instances (an impossibility).
It also further isolates players by requiring certain BiS gear. You shouldn't have to have access to or farm content to be viable any more than you do right now.Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...
