    Im curious if this set just put the final nail in the coffin of solo pvp. I want to paint a picture here for anyone who reads this...

    So Im on my stam warden, or stam dk, or whatever, running around cyrodil. I encounter 3-4 mid range cp, not so experienced, players. One hits me with a CC while his/her friends start attacking me. Then all 4 of their zaan sets proc on me at the same time. I die. Then i am ruthlessly bagged by players that i could normally kill with no issue and xxxposed via youtube, redit, and everywhere else. And then i will always be known as someone that needs to git gud. This fear has been keeping me up at night for weeks now and caused me to lose my job and girlfriend.

    So my question here is this; can more than one zaan be on you at the same time? Someone please tell me the answer is no. Because if the answer is yes, well then i guess il be getting xxxposed alot in the dragon bones update.

    So you are okay if multiple players hit you and you are ruthlessly given the ceremony of love and put on YouTube, as long as it's not zaan? :/

    Nah It will be nerfed like Velidreth after some months after release, other set will be flameblosomed even before release and there is still no fixes for Jorvuld’s Guidance with Master Architect and Twilight Remedy

    They already nerfed it....

    Im not even saying it needs to be nerfed im just wondering if multiple can proc on 1 person. If so thats a stupid mechanic but i guess its not so bad. But ya, mainly looking for anyone who tried it on the pts in pvp (guessing that is no one though)

    With ZOS nerfing literally ALL snare effects and gap closers, Zaan isn't as harmful if you just move away from the beam... And with break free, you gain immunity to CCs. If you have no stamina that's your problem...(can't believe how many threads complain about break free cost when there's sets to counter + CP).

    Plus Zaan requires crappy light or heavy attacks to proc and has like a small 10% chance to proc... The damage isn't even dispensed all at once so you can totally break out of the effect radius if you even try at all.

    Most ranged builds probably won't even benefit as much from Zaan because the beam range is relatively short at like 8 meters. It's not enough for a ranged build to keep the beam on long enough since literally everyone in pvp move around like ants.

    If you die from 2+ people in combat with you, what do you expect? They are probably trying to be a skilled pvp person as much as you... Can't play hero on the battlefield all the time when there's literally 2 mil+ "heroes" in the game with like Mannimarco-like aspirations. Like if there's one player taking out a group of 20 players solo then there's something wrong, and is the current issue with pvp these days.

    Again, im wondering if anyone has TESTED this yet. And cc break is no issue to me, stam is no issue to me. But also, you are wrong. There is nothing wrong with one player killing multiple players who arent as good. Before one tamriel i could solo pvp easily. With one tamriel it was the same but thats when builds really started to carry players. After that it only got worse.

    In one tamriel i had this one fight. It was a group of like 15+ not-so-good players. I was able to kill all of them except the tank. And I was able to do this because most of them were lower cp, not good, and the max cp players in the group were also not good.

    But now between lag, cost reduction being gone, certain skills being changed, and sets carrying players, its different now. Im not so sure i would win that same fight in CwC, or even morrowind. You are wrong when you say one player shouldn't be able to take out a group. If the group isnt good and the player is then what do you expect. Do you expect earthgore should save them?

    I just dont agree with zos putting in MORE things to hurt solo players. This is a much different game now than it was before one tamriel. Even the immovable pot nerf (as small as it is) hurts solo players more than anyone. If i wanted to take out a group easily i would play my stamblade. But i would really like to know why you think the BIG problem with pvp is solo players lol. Everything done in this game since one tamriel has hurt solo pvp and made it easier for people to get carried by everything besides playing good.
