Swift doesn't interest me, but, I know there are people who will use it.

Protective... could use something. I don't think simply adding crit resist to it is the answer. It just doesn't stand out, and becomes another source of resistances.

i think a better combo for swift would be to reduce the effectiveness of snares by a %. The Protective change honestly seems like a good idea.

@kookster I liked your idea, since they changed the Ironclad effect! I just edited and added!

On the topic of traits. Harmony needs to also reduce synergy cooldown to truly be worth running. As it is now it is worse than infused in almost all situations and provides less flexibility in general.

Great suggestion, @Gallagher563 ! Edited and added!

Harmony

• Increases the power of activated Synergy effects and reduces Synergy's cooldown.

Swift

• Increases your non-mounted movement speed and reduces the duration of all snare effects on you.

I had suggested adding the Training or Prosperous effects to Swift, but that would lose the Trait fantasy. So above is a valid suggestion!

Protective

1. Increases Physical and Spell Resistance, and Critical Resistance.
2. Increases Physical and Spell Resistance, and increases the amount of damage you can block.

Any of the above two suggestions are valid.

So, what do you say?

Harmony:
Reducing Synergy cooldown get's into a dangerous territory of allowing way too much Resource Management to come to the game, especially in a high unique Synergy environment. I'd rather see a reduction to the empowerment of Synergies and instead a unique buff that adds either;

1. Weapon + Spell Damage OR
2. Magicka + Stamina + Health OR
3. Critical Hit Chance and Damage OR
4. Health + Stamina + Magicka Recovery after activating a synergy.

This would operate much like Moondancer in the sense that it's a random buff to the set (or you could go in order down the line), and they cannot stack. This would offer playstyle augments to each role and playstyle, empower teamwork, and still not necessarily be overpowered simply because you can tune the exact values as you'd like from a development standpoint. It further adds a dynamic as not fitting into a one size fits all, as team composition, group synergy (regulars vs pugs), and combat dynamics (high mobility, etc) would all play a role into deciding the effectiveness of them.

Swift:
Add on Immobilization effects as well and I'm in love. In exchange, slightly reduce the Speed increase value added.

Protective:
Definitely cautious to adding even more unique defensive amplifications in this game. In ESO it is very easy to stack over 80% damage mitigation for extended periods of time with buff categories, mitigation, CP, and blocking. While these builds generally cannot kill anyone, they also greatly hinder the play experience for attackers to these builds, and don't really serve a function in the game other than a nuisance for the player utilizing them. You can already get HUGE amounts of Critical Resistance in the game from Impenetrable (literally the strongest trait in game from a PvP standpoint), sets like Impreg/Trans, and CP. After the continuous nerfs to Critical Hit Modifiers, adding more sources to diminish them would hurt the stat more.

I'd be okay with allowing more sources of Critical Resistances if;
Damage shields could be crit
Impenetrable, Resistance, Impregnable set, and Transmutation set saw some slight reductions
Critical Hit Modifiers applied to Healing again

The block mitigation also falls into a similar category. Blocking already gives a HUGE damage mitigation of 50%, which can reach crazy heights with passives, sets, and abilities. We don't need more of it unless we plan on reducing the preexisting sets to force players to specialize into it more (which I think would be great, but also a lot of work).

Reducing cooldown does not have to be same percent. Frankly changing all to 30 would be ok and change cooldown to 14 ish seconds.

If they made swift mounted it'd be good for a niche. Cyro horse sim is tiring. Swift cyro ward+rapids.
