    Incorrect. Zaan is the most OP proc set in the game and is overdue for a nerf. A simple change that would fix it, and not harm PvE would be to have it so when Zaan procs it spawns from a static point. This way when you run from Zaan it doesn't follow you.

    thick skinned doesnt help to much but thats not why sloads is high grade cancer if its comboed with vicious death its basically a godbreaker bomb build its stupid. one of the strongest dots in the game mixed with the nuke set of the game you just need a decent monster set to buff the damage of one or you or just make you tankier to survive a dive.

    Rofl are you really mentioning mitigation? You are aware 100k mitigation will not reduce oblivion damage by a single point right?

    That's literally why oblivion damage is the dumbest thing they have introduced.......

    well ill tell you why oblivion damage was introduced and its really sorcs faults. yes im going there but when a sorc throws up a shield you litterally cant hurt the guy unless you wanna sacrifice points into a useless champ star. but because of their shields is why oblivion damage is such a thing.

    No clue how sloads hit for 15k on you even if someone had 100 pts in thaumaturge + 66 pts in thick skinned. Do you bend over and let it do you worse or something because damn.

    Also phys and spell resistances do nothing vs oblivion damage, only thick skinned helps.

    Thick Skinned does not reduce Oblivion damage, nothing does. Oblivion damage cannot be reduced (or increased, except the weapon enchantment, with Torugs and/or Infused weapon trait) by anything.

    You cant blame sorcs lol zos introduced it because they are lazy developers when it comes to balance.

    Then when they balance something they dont tweak the thing they introduced to counter the thing they were to lazy to balance, then we get to where we are.

    Then you have permaderpers (blockers) which they couldn't stop so they introduced sets to counter that. Then they didnt fix the counters when they needed too.

    See the cycle? It's not one classes fault, it's the developers, so dont blame a class..

    There are two separate conversations going on here. My numbers are in reference to Zaan, not Sloads. I personally don't think Sloads is that bad. Easily outhealed.

    oddly enough, i've been experimenting with that (thaum/sloads) and it affects the tooltips, but my actual damage appears to remain the same, according to cmx, lui, etc. so something's broken there for some of us, or for me, at least. the difference in damage would be over 200, fwiw, but i'm not getting it at all.

    i haven't run it in pvp and expect it will be nerfed before i make it back to cyrodil, anyway. i was just curious about the set and all the brouhaha surrounding it, but it seems kind of meh, tbh.

    i can because oblivion damage is one of the only ways to get through a shield of a sorc without moving stuff around screwing you on characters who dont have shields. so their 1 of the reasons not the whole reason but 1 of them

    So Zaan is going to be made into worthless PvE monster set because of PvP?

    The smart thing for ZOS to do is just double the duration and scale the damage down so that it does the same averaged DPS in PVE without all of the burst in PVP. I know it's easily counter-able and a L2P issue, but if ZOS is gonna swing the nerf hammer because of all the QQ then at least I'd like to see it do about the same sustained DPS, just not as bursty.

    zaan aint that bad as people make it out to be you see that line roll dodge and its gone. but sloads.....ive seen people manage to pull over 10k with that dot in accordance with all their burst damage. so sloads needs looked at badly.

    You seem to forget that people are running Zaan AND Sload’s :)

    no again zaan thats a l2p and pay attention issue but sloads..........yea that sets just cancer.......but there is something that makes sloads alot more powerful but i wont name as i hope zos fixes it before long cause its fricken horrid.

    It is called Thaumaturge
    And there is a thing called thick skinned to counter it a little bit

    Yup and I have 66 points into it, and it still does 15k+ damage to me with 27k mitigation.

    Rofl are you really mentioning mitigation? You are aware 100k mitigation will not reduce oblivion damage by a single point right?

    That's literally why oblivion damage is the dumbest thing they have introduced.......

    Edit: assuming you mean resistances when you talk mitigation

    No clue how sloads hit for 15k on you even if someone had 100 pts in thaumaturge + 66 pts in thick skinned. Do you bend over and let it do you worse or something because damn.

    Also phys and spell resistances do nothing vs oblivion damage, only thick skinned helps.

    There are two separate conversations going on here. My numbers are in reference to Zaan, not Sloads. I personally don't think Sloads is that bad. Easily outhealed.

    Oh ok my bad :)

    That's literally why oblivion damage is the dumbest thing they have introduced.......

    well ill tell you why oblivion damage was introduced and its really sorcs faults. yes im going there but when a sorc throws up a shield you litterally cant hurt the guy unless you wanna sacrifice points into a useless champ star. but because of their shields is why oblivion damage is such a thing.

    You cant blame sorcs lol zos introduced it because they are lazy developers when it comes to balance.

    Then when they balance something they dont tweak the thing they introduced to counter the thing they were to lazy to balance, then we get to where we are.

    Then you have permaderpers (blockers) which they couldn't stop so they introduced sets to counter that. Then they didnt fix the counters when they needed too.

    See the cycle? It's not one classes fault, it's the developers, so dont blame a class..

    i can because oblivion damage is one of the only ways to get through a shield of a sorc without moving stuff around screwing you on characters who dont have shields. so their 1 of the reasons not the whole reason but 1 of them

    Without sloads or shield breaker, shields are easy to deal with now.

    ooo yeah?!

    Eso Devs: We noticed Eye of the Storm is overperforming a little in pvp. So were gonna reduce the damage by a whole 5%!


    I mean, when the dev's say they are gonna look at something its either a complete sabotage of the set, a minimal decrease or blanket nerfing every set in the game to fix it.

    then why does the tooltip for the set show increased damage with additional points in thaum?

    i'm not trying to start an argument, i simply would like to know, b/c something broken af, here.
