I think the whole basis behind proc sets is to actually reduce the impact of player skill, not increase it. It's the basis behind Rocket Launchers, mines, tanks, and spray and pray mechanics in other games. If player skill is over emphasized then a very small percentage of the playerbase is enjoying the game, the rest are either being excluded(PVE) or constantly beat down(PVP). In order to combat that you introduce chance based mechanics that can't be effectively predicted. Unfortunately all to often the % chance in ESO equates to functionalities that are all too predictable.

I tested it against Flame blossom and Overwhelming surge, the only non-monster sets that have proc damages, and they all barely did 3% of the total damage. The only upside to Mad tinkerer is the armor looks fancy and could be used for its 4 pieces as well as Flame Blossom. Overwhelming surge is just weak.

I'm gunna start buying iTunes gift cards to give out....

....so people can change the frickin tune.

Proc meta or nit all monster sets are percentage based proc sets and are wjdely accepted and enjoyed. What i dont like is new armor sets that are stale and in the case of mad tinkerer..completely usless and is only viable in duels and 1v1 pvp. Aoe damage and status effects are the new neta after the patch and these are the areas where armor sets are lacking somewhat. I made up with 3 armor sets for entertainment value but it would be interesting nonetheless. Keeping the game fresh with out of the box ideas is what is going to keep the ball rolling especially gaining new players. If zos makes money we get the benefits of playing and enjoying a FUN GAME. Which here lately has been lackluster to us vereran players who have had the game since launch. Many many players are casul and just want to kill stuff and have the perception that they are dealing good damage to feel like a viable part of eso. I personally would like to see a flame atronach spawn next to me that is going to pull aggro and do good damage, its new and fresh idea. Aoe damage will always be a good move in many situations. Take my Molten Cascade set lol and pair it with Grothdarr and trash adds will be melted. This would put other magicka builds more on par with say a sorcs liquid lighting which is one of the best aoe dots in the game for pve. People leave the game when they feel there character is not on par and when abilities dont seem to hit very hard. Unfortunetely gaming now is more about flash and shock and awe factor. Keeping new players is very important to keep the game period..no money no more development and patches. Plus zoz cant keeo eso in a perpetual state of improvement its just too expensive. The game has been in operation for many years now and will soon be replaced with something else very soon
