Yeah, if you go around 1v1ing, or Xv1ing, then its great. But I can pretty much never die 1v1 in my openworld build as is, (only time I do is when its not a 1v1 all the way, i.e. I kill an extra and am low on resources, or extras appear) and the damage I would lose would be annoying too.MagDK main.

Used to, back when max level of it was 50 and it was called akatosh's blessed armor. Got nerfed because no fun police, and it was too easy.
Now that I think about it, the finder should have kept it secret, since it wasn't technically an exploit either, just overpowered.MagDK main. PC/EU @AK-ESO

Yup this.
It was used as the cheese vmol gear set for a couple months before it was discovered
Alot of people got skinned with this tactic before it was shutdown0 -

✭Funny thing its still a broken set in any pvp scenario.
The only reason people dont use it in open world as much is because AoEs are very prevalent to killing mass groups.
But if you are soloing you will stomp anyone outside gank groups who hit you faster than you can proc the set.
The set allows you to also ignore all AoEs and CC's while it procs on the person hitting you0 -

You do understand the set only procs on one player at a time? Meaning it is completely useless if you are fighting more then one, as you will only be making one of the group miss their attacks, half the time.0 -

Obviously
and 5 seconds later it can proc on anyone else. Unless you are literally doing nothing and standing there looking stupidly at the ground, it's impossible not to see the utility of this. Being immune to all damage and all CC every 5 seconds with a 33% chance proc in another 5 seconds.

Maura_Neysa✭✭✭✭✭The set is still a bit useless outnumbered though. Its just a pure Xv1/1v1 cheese set.
Not really, its just a pure support set. I have run this on my tank forever now. Not for my survivablity, but because its proc is on the enemy. They "MIss all attacks for 5 sec," all attacks against anyone. Not just the wearerMaiden Maura - Xbox NA

Funny thing, is that is exactly why its still worth running. Yeah its global cooldown makes it useless in open world survival, but all that AoE makes it massively easy to proc, and extremely useful when it isn't part of the survival kit.

So one guy misses half the attacks. Then when you are fighting two? 3? 4? You see that the set just scales very poorly.1 -

ayu_fever✭✭✭✭✭my main tank uses the meridia set, and has since last summer.
i avoid pvp like the plague, and maybe there are “better” choices for pve gear but this loadout has not failed yet:
5 meridia, 5 warrior poet, 2 swarm mothers OR 2 sentinel of rutabaga, all purple gear and enchants.
as a nord templar tank, i like the stam recovery and resistances from meridia.
the 5 piece bonus helps with stamina resource management, even though it works on one non-boss enemy at a time (if they miss i dont have to spend stamina to block) and as a templar, this is welcome because every little bit helps and it doesnt take away from something else.
i did use plague doctor before and it is great, but i like warrior poet better. you get almost the same health bonus but with lots more extra resistances. i still have 38K health with warrior poet but as a tank i welcome more damage mitigation.
swarm mothers gives more precious stam regen and gives us the DK chains skill for free. as a templar this is really good.
sentinal of rutabaga procs quite often because i keep ritual of retribution on the ground, use vigor when needed for me or a nearby ally, and use repentance when things die .it isnt tons of healing, but it does help the healer out a bit because he can focus on the dps players and when the sentinel procs, everyone benefits.
if any stamina templar tanks wants to see the build i just might share it

In small scale battles causing a person to miss their attack every five seconds is massive, they will be far easier to eliminate
Its been a godsend in BG's too, makes killing effortless
The only scenario it doesn' scale well is open world cyrodiil in zergling fights.
So sure zerging the set will see little prevalence but is more than competent for handling your attackersEdited by Nelson_Rebel on April 14, 2018 6:26PM0 -

✭Fuckit going to be a rootspamming lingering health, zaan, and blessed zergling for BGs next patch.
Thats what I'm saying. The level of cheese this set offers is ridiculous lol.
When you encounter someone who is an actual damage dealer using the set as jewelry and weapons and they got their damage setup on, its crazy how Godly they are.
I'm designing my stamplar around the set because its just nice having cleanse and doing extra damage to blockers, but as soon as I go
on defense it makes it even sweeter lmao.

✭There is zero way to fail using meridias in a duel if you even halfway competent lol. You hold block, wait for the sound to pop and then laugh as they try to hit you or heal but they can do nothing to you every 5 seconds while you are wearing a 5 piece damage set and proc monster set of your own and you still deal out insane damage
Zaan is Especially effective with knight slayer tactics and using S&b with reverb defile
for this type of build. Throw in oblivion enchants and you will hardly care
In open world its even more hilarious because most people have no clue that they stand no chance at all but keep casting skills and die from resource loss because nothing is hitting, no CC's or skills will affect you, but the enemy player will still be charged his skills cost for casting regardless.
Its been this way for months lol
The set has a 33% proc chance just for holding block with no other prerequisets, I mean every 5 seconds on top of that? You will always have this up if you use CC every 6 seconds, hold block, boom you have it up again. Its impossible not to be effective with this lolEdited by Nelson_Rebel on April 15, 2018 4:31PM0 -
Checkmath✭✭✭✭✭
✭It is not effective, because you cant kill *** with that. Everyone i saw using it (especially together fight knightslayer) struggled to do decent damage in duels. And some of them just got bursted while the cooldown was ticking. But maybe its a console issue...0
