Do you think Armor Traits need a balance.

Baconatorz · August 2017

From looking at the patch notes, the trend of balancing seems to be nerfing the BiS and most used gears/traits/mundus and buff all the others so that they are on par with each other, creating more viable combinations of gears/traits/mundus instead of just one specific combination like spriggan set/sharpened weapon/thief mundus. So i'm thinking why not apply this logic to armor traits. Right now Divines is the most sought after because of its offensive aspect. With the upcoming changes to mundus stones, divines is indirectly getting a buffed and it's probably the only best trait for non-tank pvers. It's going to be the new "sharpened" of armor traits. Do you think they should either nerf divines armor trait or maybe buff the other traits to incentivize diversity, unique builds instead of just pure damage? This change doesn't seem to be very far-fetch since it fits with ZOS's trend of balancing stuff which is nerfing BiS and buffing other sets.

Ideally they would buff some of the others but it's not like divines is over-performing like sharpened is on live. On live each piece of divines gives you an extra .9% crit chance if you're using thief.

Yes...buuut let's not go to hell with it. I would rather see a buff to everything but divines, but also divines shouldn't be nerfed. It's not OP it's just far more useful than the other trash traits.

I was discuting something like this with some friends. I know that there are some players that have all day long to play, but my case, and the case for most players, is that I don't have much time to spend with video games. Thinking about it, farm is something that you need to do and it's ok, but when you need so much time farming (you farm, you play, they nerf, you farm, you play...)

We thought some changes:
- training and prosperous being a craftable trait only
- more coherence on traits drops, like, mag sets almost not dropping sturdy or well fitted, stam dps less sturdy...

Sorry it wasn't that close about the topic, but i think it's usefull about traits.

And yes, divines for pve are kind of BiS. Maybe changing some of the old traits to a new trait, like, well fitted changing to something that gives you more % of your highest stat.

i think armor traits need a whole re-do so that each trait is "best" against a particular type of threat and "thirs best" against every other, except nirnhoned which is "second best" against everything.

this way there is no single meta or BiS but a different meta or BiS depending on the content you are up against.

ok guys i started a new post with the same topic with it being a poll, i'm gonna try an delete this post if i can find out how.

If we are going to mess with armor traits I think we need a way for crafters to change traits on our existing armor first.
I really don't feel like replacing armor on 14 characters.

Thirsty?

But I think amour triats are in a good spot except preposterous. I think infused needs a boost though. I find it's useless compared to divines even 3 large piece things seems myth to me.
