Its not bad. Running Imperial with duel stat regen makes eff purge easy to manage. I hit 1500 magicka regen without continuous (im vamp tho).
My stamblade friends i run with love having me around as a supportblade.
Ive been considering running Seducer to crank that mag regen to like 2k then the cost reduction will help a lot. Could even 5 medium 2 light.
You wouldnt believe the amount of nbs that have no idea how to fight you once you purge their poison inj and incap/surprise att debuffs.
If you're going to dedicate a set to magicka on a stamblade why even be a stamblade.
Imperial? Imperial physique?
Even as a skill its not great only 2 effects isn't enough tbh. There is too many status effects.PS4 EU DC

No I'm Imperial Race. So i have over 22k health without needing a food buff. Honestly its the 50% reduced duration on all ongoing effects thats really strong. I was surprised how well it performed when i started using it. 100% worth when you run into duroks users too.

...It doesn't work against Durok...
Or, well, technically it does: for an almighty 1 second, since that's the cooldown of that set.(5 items) When you take damage, you apply Major Defile to the attacker for 10 seconds, reducing their healing received by 30%. This effect can occur once every 1 second.PC EU - Zahraji of the Void, aka "Kitty", the fluffiest salmon genocider in town.

Im using purge in a 4 man open world environment. Generally all of us are stamblades. So shedding a 16 second debuff from myself and/or some allies that have been hit by surprise attack isn't a bad thing. Not to mention all the other things im possibly purging.

✭✭✭✭I think it's worth noting that Siphoner CP passive also effectively halves the efficiency of Purge by applying a debuff to you every light attack. Then there's status effects, DoTs, other sets with debuffs etc.
Trying to purge Sload is like trying to win the lottery and each ticket to that lottery costs you 5130 Magicka (it is one of the most expensive skills in the game).
Compare to Extended Ritual which cleanses 5 debuffs (making it 150% better than Purge in that regard alone), creates a heal over time/snare area & gives allies a synergy to cleanse themselves while also being almost 20% cheaper at 4320 Magicka...
Purge is a garbage skill, period.Edited by DDuke on June 20, 2018 11:24AM7 -

✭✭✭✭Crossposting from my response to another thread:
Everyone who brings up Wyrd Tree or purge as a counter to Sloads needs to actually pay attention to how Sloads procs.
If you purge it, it can be instantly reapplied--the 6 second cooldown is...not actually a cooldown.
So Wyrd tree/purge/ritual etc. aren't really counters. If you are a NB, you have to purge/wait for a wyrd tree proc, then hope you can get a cloak cast in before one of the dots on you ticks and retriggers sloads.
It really needs to:
1. Actually respect it's own cooldown.
2. Have a more stringent proc condition, so that purging actually gives a few seconds of relief.
That's at a minimum. the issues with a sticky oblivion dot are insane, but if that's what we're stuck with, something like a 20% chance on direct damage rather than a 10% on all damage would be a good start--then a purge, dodgeroll, cloak would actually work, for example. Or for stam builds, a purge+dodgeroll+dodgeroll would actually take the pressure off.Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub2 -

To play the devil's advocate here (I don't think Wyrd Tree is a viable solution, atleast for stamblade): casting cloak with Wyrd Tree actually purges (hopefully, if you have 5+ debuffs on you) the sload & puts you into cloak, meaning no dmg/further sload procs.

Just to be clear (i've never tested the wyrd tree-cloak animation): if you cast cloak with wyrd tree ready to proc, it purges before you cloak (rather than cloaking, failing to cloak, then purging)? That's actually kind of cool (if an absolutely ridiculous level of shenanigans needed).
Of course that still only works if you have less than 5 effects, counting sload, on you. I've fully embraced the cheese, and anyone I'm targeting has more than that....Thrice Empress, Forever Scrub0 -

✭✭Sload's - countering the purge argument
The idea that one would even have to slot efficient purge (whether or not it works) to counter an armor set that applies it's damage unerringly and constantly and totally breaks a class ability and the shielding play style only exists in a reality where you aren't limited in slots to place skills.
Shield breaker was pretty iffy, but was also "limited" in that the damage could be avoided by los/dodge roll etc. Sload's can't really be avoided and compounds issues with oblivion damage in a pretty ridiculous and far beyond the annoyance of shield breaker.
If there is one thing that does make pvp in eso "good" it's that you always have to make hard choices as to what skills you can carry. Forcing people to slot of skill because of an armor set and then making it not even very effective when they do is folly.

Yep, it first cleanses 5 debuffs & then cloak goes off - in that order. Or atleast it did when I last tested it (haven't tested this update). You can use it to get rid of Piercing Mark too for example without giving opponent a chance to reapply it.0 -

as a counter to this, it gets the cost increase if spammed. This treatment is the best solution since we don't use cooldowns, and i see it fit for other spells like cloak or absorb shields.-PC EU- / battlegrounds on my youtube0 -

This is one of those rare sets that 'could' reliably help you fight sloadsters, if we ask the question of 'which set out there can directly or indirectly counter sload?'.
Now, disabling effects aren't 'sload', (that would perhaps fall into the category of Curse Eater) but if you're fighting a sloadster or two and you've got some disabling effects on you, then you can at least get a decent heal over time for free.
Not perfect, not great, but if sload is really troubling you THAT much, try any of these and let me know if any of them worked:
https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Robes+of+the+Hist+Set (if snare counts as disabling effect, even more power to it)
https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Curse+Eater+Set (previous bonuses are kinda meh, but last one is reliable, it'd be better if it was 35 - 40% since the CP passive with the same effect got removed long ago)
https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Almalexia's+Mercy+Set (if you're playing in a group with a tanky mag spec, could be worth trying)
If you're a magplar, get used to purging like a maniac. If you're not a magplar, it's time to experiment.1 -

Yea except you have 4 other magicka abilities on that bar that will use the purge effect when you don't want it to. Unless you only play with 6 abilities total and have 5 x cloak on bar 2?? Sounds viable
Hence why you back bar it; while you will have abilities on that bar back there they are primary buffs you do before combat or something you want purging dots anyway.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXpX7JMwRXtczc5GTrIYRIw
