    we have repeatedly tried to tell you guys how to defend against sloads.
    if you refuse that help, then how can you claim it is bad?

    we have repeatedly told you the flaws of those defenses and the fact that those defenses needs to be placed inorder to counter just one over preforming proc set in the first place is crap

    the suggestions we are giving you to counter sloads set is ligitimate and correct and realistic.
    especially if you want to survive easily and kill the person wearing sloads set.

    your suggestion is unrealistic because you are refusing to build for defence and slot 1 skill, no, instead you guys are in refusal of accepting help.
    so when i say "if you refuse that help and you refuse to slot purge and build better defenses, then how can you call sloads a bad set"??
    the answer is "you cant"

    it really is just simple, just slot purge and build some defences.

    now there is another thread right now where the someone is requesting we are allowed to have "purge" potions and that might be a better answer for all of us!
    because it would make both you and me happy in this situation ...

    I still dont see your point behind luck like most of players here
    as I also posted before but not sure in this thread, I tested to use purge and will say it snot worth..it only longer your existence by maybe 2-4 seconds

    I had only 2-3 different dots+ other debuffs + sload on it
    when I was lucky I get sload purge at 3rd cast and still had last dot on me becasue purge finally realised to purge sload before last other dot
    if I wasnt lucky so mostly...even 4 purges dont help because having only 2-3 dots with sload is uncommon, if ikd how yue..but if I have sload on me I have also 4+ other dots on me + debuffs so again as I staded..its just mircale for me to get purged sload at even 3rd time where I have no more magica for cloak + with time spammindg purge I was still damaged by ones without healing myself...oh wait, have nothing more than vigor over 5 second and rally once per 10 seconds and ofc whiel spamming purge its also really rare to not get reapplied again some dots

    so I will say again, your argument with purge for today meta is invalid

    no, I dont refused to change some my build to counter it, really I tried it but in medium its just waste of magica and time to spam this purge, if I see this dot fest and sload it is just better now to let them kill you instead of extending your struggle to survive few more seconds

    if we dont have DoT meta it could be optionw ith purge..but as for today its really just BIG NON-SENSE

    He here is some back up evidence for what you are saying, when you are taking dots like this:
    28iamna.png

    Then you would have to cast efficient purge probably 3 times, (Purge removes 2 effects) That's 15k magicka. Most stam players don't have that. And even magica players would struggle with coughing up that much magicka. It's ridiculous that people suggest that people have to run purge in the first place, that's a support ability.

    thats if you are being attacked by multiple D.O.T.s and curses and attacks and sloads.
    that means you are trying to fight a group of people and that has nothing to do with sloads nor purge, that means you are now fighting 3 or more people.
    in that case, fighting a group or groups or several people are targeting you out specificly, means you will probably die no matter what is hitting you, and that is more realistic.

    the mention of using purge is meant for small 1 v 1 fights or 1 v 2 fights. any more enemies then that and purge is not going to save you.
    Unless you are = as in Zerg against Zerg or a fair group against Group, in that case "yes" purge will work cause you have a moment to cleanse yourself of those dot's and take a breather hide within your goup or Zerg, and heal and purge 1 or 2 times. and maybe even a 3rd time if you can allow your magicka a moment to recover.


    nope not always..can agrtee only if you have more sloads on you but about only dots...well we have build on pvp where on sole you will stack to 5 different dots

    1) rending slashes
    2) dual wield passive axe bleed proc
    3) poison inject
    4) 1st poison proc from weapon poison
    5) 2n poison proc from weapon poison (yes if people running with wepaon poisons for jsut DOT they have 2 poisons at once from single)
    this we have basic dots easy to get and very very often and also 6th dot - poisoned status
    and dont forget about possibility to 7th and 8th dot from proc sets

    this is all possible from only stam build but can achieve similiar number of dots also from magica build

    1st can change to destro touch avaible for all
    poisoned status effect dot can change to burning
    2nd, 3rd and can add additional 2 depending on class dot we start going to class dots
    every class except I think sorc have atlest this 1-2 class dots (for sorc we can talk about curse instead of dot viable to purge)
    and I think we can easility add more than 2 class dots at magdk

    so in most cases even single player can easilty give you 4-5 different dots from only skills, without proc sets but here are goin ofc proc sets with additional dot - sload
    so how you are supposed to purge only sload whiel you have atlest 4 dots on you if not more and with it many other debuffs like jsut main, defile, reduced resists etc whcih also can be purged by rng before sload

    EDIT: tl;dr
    you dont need face more than 1 player to get dotfest on you where purge is just useless if you want to purge only 1 dot because with rest you can deal until you get this one most broken

    i have seen and fought those type of builds before and yeas those are some Nasty builds, but i was still able to weave in during the fight a few purge casts and i was close to death but i won. sometimes i lost to it but it was fair sometimes as long as i could cast a few purges i did survive 50% of the time.

    as long as i did not get a sloads screen i was ok. (kinda)

    oh yeah, Im able to also survive spad dodtfest evenw ithout any purge until sload proc on me and then what? on dotfest ist jsut impossible to get rid of sload but if you know better then please explain me how to deal with sload while having tons of debuffs on me so spam purge wont help me to much

    That set is so balanced that it was the first set i got after the patch and it is even more balanced in no cp like all proc sets. Luckily ZOS decided that bg should be no cp so everyone can enjoy the awesome cp balance which is even more balanced in no cp. And since everyone loves balanced sets, they amount of players abusing this set skyrocketed.
    You want some sload?
    You can have sload!
    And you can have sload!
    You all can have some sload!

    We are tested today a StamDK focused on Dots with this Set. Dual Wield, S&B

    5x Sloads, 5x Viper, 2 Troll King, Race Orc. Rending Slashes, Noxious Breath, Venomous Claw, Axes as Weapons (Bleed) Reverbating Bash (Major Defile) Minor Defile Poisons Dual Wield, Double Dot Poison S&B. Healing Reduced by 62%. If all dots are up, simple spam Ransack and Helicopter Finisher. Really good Heavy Armor Players can’t outheal this. But it’s okay if anyone think this Set is not broken. Not alone, but in combination with this other stuff it’s simple broken.

    Couldn't he outheal it because of sload, or because of rending slashes+noxious breath+venomous claw+axebleed+major defile+minor defile+double DOT poison?

    That's like saying smoking is bad for your health if you smoke while jumping out of a plane without a parachute.

    I think it was clearly enough at my post. The Game allows to much Dot Pressure with this Set and other combinations. The balance is since years a problem. First the block was to strong, then the heals was to strong, now the dot pressure is to strong.

    Yes, but if you replaced sload in your setup with something else, the result would most likely be the same. That's what i meant. So it is hardly a proof of sload overperforming:
    Xsorus wrote: »
    I’m pretty sure you could run assassins guile with that setup and be just as nasty *shrug*

    False assumption. I could replace sloads with Spinners and spell pen doesn’t penetrate shields. And that’s one example and spinners is a good set. I could go through the whole LA and craftable list off the wiki and make a case that sloads in additive aggregate amongst players is far more OP than most other sets. Not to mention the 2/3/4 bonuses are really good compared to most sets.

    I’m curious. Do you work for Zos? I’ve never known you to ever post anything or take a stance in counter to a negative position or situation Zos has created.

    So from what I have seen of it, a DOT build DOTs you up, and even with extended ritual, if you remove it, its right back on you if you got it off you at all with other DOTs and debuffs.

    So if i replace it with a set that does not work against shields and then attack someone with a shield it won't be as good.

    * high pitched hysterically demonic screeching *

    1 set that prob is as good as this, but no-one uses really, is Dual wield master axes: (2 Items) Increases the bleed damage Twin Slashes deals by 1500 each tick. now if you do double axes you have another 16% bleed change on top...
    Iknow, it gets reduced by battle spirit, but it ignores all resistances aswell (exept shields thats the only non-common thing).

    I dont really see a thicc problem with this sload set, zos finally listened to #nerfsorcs!

    Two big differences here.

    1.) Master Axes are much harder to obtain than a 6 trait crafted set.

    2.) It's oblivion damage. You can't shield / stealth through it.


    Just to compare, if you've ever used shield breaker, you'd know it's an effective set against magsorcs. You still have to be skilled to use it properly (ie weave your light attacks with a combo, or know when to spam that left mouse button), but there's no doubt it can be lethal.

    Now imagine that you can get all that effectiveness without having to be mindful of when or how to use it. This is sloads.

    Also, there were plenty of ways to down magsorcs prior to Summerset without oblivion damage. Time a CC with a burst. Apply dots, uppercut and execute. Petrify and leap. You name it. I've been killed by hundreds of skilled players thousands of times. But you don't even need to CC a magsorc if you're wearing sloads in order to wreck them. That's pretty cheap.

    But it's not just super effective against magsorcs. NBs can't even stealth away. So make it two classes (excluding stam sorcs) that have had their class defining defense ripped out from under their feet.

    Right now, master duel wield is one of the strongest options in the game, as you stated. But I can live with that for a few reasons; it's difficult to obtain (requires time and skill to get) and it doesn't unbalance the class vs class dynamics (ie shields and stealth still work), all while still being a great and powerful set up. So I respect and actually commend people for using it. It's smart and fair. But that's just not the case with sloads.

    This set seems to be a pretty disappointing attempt to level the playing field between players of varying skill, while at the same time destroying one of my favorite parts of the game, PvP build creativity. It matters less which class or resource you choose, slots sloads and you've instantly become a competitor, without having to put too much thought or time into the game.

    Sload's ticks 7 times (once at start and once per second for 6 seconds). That is 6k dmg. 6k unmitigated dmg is insane.

    I challenge any player to walk that dmg back through Battle Spirit, Armor, and Defenses.

    What if I told you about a craftable proc set that put a 20k DoT over 6s on people? Would you complain then? 'Cause thats basically what Sloads is.

    Stop standing up straw-men about how it could even kill a crab. The point is that this dmg happens IN ADDITION to everything else you are doing.

    Also, 10% chance on any dmg is EASY. Valkyn is 8% on DoTs only, and its completely savage on nearly any class.

    Sloads + Valkyn + ?? anyone?

    Everyone is out healing sload, even my magsorc can. 853 damage per second is strong but not OP.

    It's not just the proc that you have to heal through.

    I don't know how you play magsorc, but magsorcs don't generally have heals aside from healing ward or resto ult pvp wise. Healing ward takes 5 seconds to heal you (if it's still even up) and resto ult is an ultimate. Those are pretty bad odds of survival, even 1v1.

    Exactly, the argument of "you were outnumbered so you were going to die anyway" Is something I hear a lot, the game needs to support skill, if needs to support players making fast moves in tight situations instead of punishing them with a SWAMP of dots.

    Amazing, we never saw that much outrage about any drop-sets. I was really surprised that this was the even the case, usually this is something for drops. Now, that finally crafters have something useful again, we get pages after pages of complaints.

    Where was this kind of outrage with...I don't know, pick any set that was too powerful? This thread might probably surpass any other topic about OP-sets, and probably because it is "too easy to get" - aka crafting.

    Viewed from the other perspective, I was imagining if it has to be pieced together via drops. "Would you really prefer that?" I was asking myself. So many people get annoyed by droprates, I don't think that would be e solution for it either, not to mention that this wasn't ever done.

    Where was this kind of outrage with...I don't know, pick any set that was too powerful? This thread might probably surpass any other topic about OP-sets, and probably because it is "too easy to get" - aka crafting.

    Viewed from the other perspective, I was imagining if it has to be pieced together via drops. "Would you really prefer that?" I was asking myself. So many people get annoyed by droprates, I don't think that would be e solution for it either, not to mention that this wasn't ever done.

    It’s been there for every proc set in PvP so not sure what rock you have been living under.

    Might as well get on the meta. Does sloads have a limit to how many targets you put it on? As in large AOE is it possible to spread to everyone?

    Because previous broken sets were appealing to specific builds. Sload in its incredible broken design can and IS being used by any dps, regardless if they are stam or magicka because it outperform anything else that could have been taken in that slot. Healers and tanks run it aswell because its no effort lot of added dmg to the team dps. If set can be used by any class and any build and its valuable, its broken, plain and simple.

    Broken sets, as we had for example with "twice born star" when you could use all of the signs at once, which was not intended is a whole different story. If that was the case with this set - din't try it myself yet - I would think differently about that of course. But if not, why should there be made any change, especially since crafters have something nice again?

    Im crafter myself and theres lot of nice things i can craft to make money. Economy and crafting doesnt need a boost by implementing vastly overperforming set. Every set and every skill in game should be implement with fair and balanced combat reasoning only.

    I do not see how this is 18 pages, so tl;dr.

    Go into BG, see everyone use the set. This does not warrant any other explanation that something is wrong.

    Remove. Or change oblivion to magic damage, buff it slightly so it is similar to Viper in total. Will not be used often.

    It's not about money for me, I don't sell much at all. I agree with the sentiment of balance and would even go so far as to say, leave all set bonus out of PvP and let the people show some genuine skill. But I know almost no one wants that...:neutral:

    So what else to do as counter opportunism with opportunism..?

    Maybe reading player feedback for a start. ZOS was warned long long ago on pts set is overperforming and will be spread to every build possible. But it was implemented regardless. Same story with plenty overperforming sets and skills in past. They dont seem to learn. So id advise swap guy responsible for changes for a smarter one able to foresee obvious events. And for now, immediatelly patch it out, either put a cd on proc of 10-15s minimum or change dmg type.

    The saddest part about this whole thing is how completely new players to PVP and the game as a whole will have no *** idea what happens to them every time they die, and even if they try they'll just get slaughtered without a chance to defend themselves.

    ... which of course will result to people hating the PVP before they even get a chance to try the real fun side of it.

    Or they'll join the club with sload and then once it gets nerfed, as it inevitably will, the entire process will start over.

    This whole thing we have going on right now is simply NOT healthy. I've seen so many disappointed new players in BGs that i had to talk back into the game and make them worry less about how stupid the game feels.

    Something nobody here is realizing.

    Yes, I read and heard about that and I thought it was "just another new DLC drop-set" and wasn't surprised at all about the stories told. "Just like always", I thought. But when I was surprised was, as I discovered the crafting stations...

    What to du until an eventual change? Avoid using the set to not get a bad reputation (if that's a possibility), or using it out of spite (opportunism vs. opportunism)?

    Anyway it's quite easy now, they could simply ask a crafter, if they can't do it themselves, to make a set for them and It's make your choice then I guess: Dark side or Light side? :grin:
