Yes it is.
A set that can kill a player on its own needs to have very very easy counterplay.
Zaan doesn't have that, the wearer can easily stay in a 10m range of it's pretty and force them to take absurd amounts of damage.
A long cooldown doesn't justify a set that makes you win so many fights or apply ∅5k pressure over 5 seconds. Most ults are not able to do that while having more drawbacks, cost something and have easier counterplay
@ak_pvp
How can you justify my inccident? I have the opponent fully CC’D and im applyng pressure. Why is it that he can nearly kill me without casting an ability for an entire 5 seconds? and I did heal too i rewatched the clip i made. zaan procs on me at 20k hp, I drop to 14k after a few seconds then cast Dragons blood witch hits non crit 4.9k takes me back to 19k hp, CC him then I cast a flame lash, he breaks free and fossilizes me at witch point im at 3k HP when the Zaan proc ends. Thats gotta be a total damage of nearly 25k on a non vamp. I coudnt have created distance, im snared and he has a leap ready(i know this because he leaped on me after i broke his fossilize.) would it have been fair if i would have died to this player? I dont think so.
My Dk is a Dark elf (2k extra flame resist)
I have 24k spell resist
52 points into Thick skinned (roughly 19% reduced DOT damage)
Why is it in any way balaced for this set to nearly kill me on its own?

Most people think Zaan is an offensive set, it's only semi offensive. It's best use is as described above. From going defense to offense.
It forces a break in your opponent's attack, or they die

That doesnt make any sense.
If anything you streghten the argument on why it needs adjustment.
When somthing becomes overly effective on offense and on defence with little input from the player how can this possibly be considered balanced?
If this set can pull 20k+ alone. Imagine how its performs when your on the offensive.
It's not strawmanning, anyone who claims Zaan is balanced hasn't experienced balance or isn't intrested in skill based balance.
A set should never be able to kill or save an enemy player on its own.
We had a time when everyone was running around with willpower/ agility + monster set (no strong procs there except for skoria) + a non proc 5 piece this was a good time and I'd delete all my characters just to get back to that time.
There were people joking on the forums that we'll se a set in the future with a long cooldown that just one shots players and well Zaan isn't far from that
