If you could design a set what would it do?

1.) Adds Maximum stamina

Staff of Competence
(2) When you post information in the forums that is relevant to gameplay and fixing issues, a paid Zenimax employee will appear on the forums and do the job that they receive money to perform; reading and considering your points, passing them along through the proper channels, as well as communicate with you regarding this. This staff member also has a 50% chance to ignore the next forum post about lipstick colors on khajiit models that he or she is inclined to post in.

Dev comment:
After in house testing, we reduced the ignore silly cosmetic changes proc chance from 100% because you can't fully change years of prioritization mismanagement.

This item can proc once per day, that would be a good starting point. They could adjust more frequently after seeing how it performs with balance issues.

Don't give them ideas

Nevasca · June 2018

(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(4 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) Dealing Cold damage to a enemy applies Devouring Blizzard, which increases Cold/Ice damage he takes by 50%. This effect cannot stack.

Giving Cold damage Engulfing flames pretty much. Doubt it will make a difference in the meta but could work in PvP.

I didnt even think about m sets.

So how about max stam 1.5k

Any arrow has 10% chance to explode with poisiin damage and snare 70% aoe of 5 meters. For 7 seconds
Maybe a little cd
Might be a little much but its a starting point on a premise of snare on monster set.

[2 items] When you pick up a flag you become immune to slaughterfish and lava for 5 seconds.

Maura_Neysa · June 2018

Someone earlier wrote "Novielty Sets" I love this idea. Instead of the many useless sets that are around. How about some USEFUL useless sets? Instead of sets like Magicka Furnace, Treasure Hunter, Spelunker, Oblivions Foe, Sithis' Touch. Make some useful sets, like

Blessing of Hermaeus Mora
(2) [x] bonus XP gained
(3) [x] bonus gold gained
(4) [x] bonus Inspiration gained
(5) [x]% chance to receive an addition writ on turn in.

Wisdom of Mara

(4) [x] bonus movement speed
(5) [x]% chance at double resources from nodes

Swiftness of the Slaughter Fish

Ultimate Overcharge (all weights)

2: adds [x] spell damage.

4: adds [x] spell critical.
4: adds [x] weapon critical.
5: when you activate an Ultimate ability, you gain 1 point of weapon & spell damage for each excess point of ultimate spent above the ultimates cost*.

(*when using an ultimate, the amount of weapon & spell damage gained depends on the extra ultimate gained that goes above its cost, take pack leader or werewolf berserker for example, it costs 300 ultimate to activate, but activating it when sitting on 500 ultimate which is 200 excess, equates to about 200 weapon & spell damage.)

Giraffon · June 2018

I'm just going to list some 5th piece set bonus's that I would like to see. Someone else can figure out the other stuff.

Argonian Chaser:
5th set bonus: Allows player to swim as fast as Argonians

Gold Sniffer:
5th set bonus: Casts a glow around nearby treasure chests to make them easier to spot

Stink 'N Steal:
5th set bonus: Causes NPCs to move away from you even when stealthed. "What's that smell?"

Bard's Bane:
5th set bonus: I don't care how this is achieved, but I sure would like to make them shut up sometimes

Forgiveness Set:
5th set bonus: Can steal one item or inflict a non-lethal wound without getting a bounty or being attacked every 60 seconds

So mostly QOL stuff. Shouldn't be any epic balance issues from any of this.

lol,

Yea, snares be out of control in pvp. Don't know why you mind it on a stam toon though. You have a skill that allows you to drop them and gives durational immunity while still letting you attack.

There are two skills:

1) Shuffle which costs 4k stamina and lasts at most 3.5 seconds.

2) Forward Momentum: which then removes your only burst heal.

Shuffle is way too expensive for such a miniscule duration, and Rally makes it very difficult to recover from burst.

I would love to have an item set that would allow me to not have to use FM or Shuffle for snare immunity. Magicka needs snare immunity the least since you don't need to be within 5 meters to dish out damage.

This is kinda of interesting... but how would it work with overlord.

Personally at that time, I was kinda stumped too when I threw this idea into the frying pan, but in a way, there may be a short term solution to this currently. Also, I think you may have made a typo when you said overload. I may have also forgotten to put in a cool down & a duration.

5: when you activate an Ultimate ability, you gain 1 point of weapon & spell damage for each excess point of ultimate spent above the ultimates cost for 15 seconds*. Toggled ultimates have Infinite duration but only grants 0.5 weapon & spell Damage**, This can only occur once every 1 minute.

(* giving this a 1 minute cooldown could ensure it is not misused in certain PVP activities such as battlegrounds.)
(**since toggled ultimates have infinite duration, with certain exceptions, it is made to only be half as effective to keep it balanced across the playing field, however, should the ultimate be toggled off or certain timers run out, it will still enter the 1 minute cooldown.)

If the mechanic for this set doesn’t work out, the idea “could” be used as a baseline for a unique passive ability in the long run.

swippy · June 2018

PART OF SWIPPY'S AWESOME SET

(2 piece) Adds 50K Maximum Magicka
(3 piece) Adds 5k Magicka Recovery
(4 piece) Adds 1058 Maximum Stamina (because we don't want to get carried away here)
(5 piece) swippy wins the game, and everybody else instantly loses. players on swippy's friends list lose slightly less.
also, swippy is granted lots of gold and stuff.

it might need some minor tweaks but i think it's a great idea for a set. do note that the unique bonus is applied to swippy regardless of who equips the set.

Don’t you mean “Grants a 30% chance to apply minor mangle, reducing the targets health by 10% for 30 seconds. This can only occur once every 1 minute per enemy.” (as some 5 piece bonuses aren’t coherently affected by the quality and level of the gear.)

also, five minutes for a 30 second mangle is a bit redundant, ain’t it? One minute is better, puts it in line considering minor mangle has no effect on boss enemies.

Was thinking about a set that would be useful for ppl that have farmed vMA many times over and still need weapons. Set only drops in vMA and doesnt work outside of vMA.

Smoking Plume Set (Light, Medium and Heavy)

(1) Disables any score and Perfect Run achievement in Maelstrom Arena.
(2) Grants Major Courage at all times increasing weapon and spell damage by 256.
(3) Grants Minor Slayer increasing damage done to vMA monsters by 5% also grants Minor Aegis reducing damage taken by vMA monsters by 5%.
(4) Max Mag, Max Stam and Max Health.
(5) Increases Physical and Spell Penetration by 2750.
(5) Reduces cost of Abilities by 8%. When you kill an enemy you restore 2150 magicka and stamina also gaining Major Vitality for 5 seconds increasing healing recieved by 30%.

Only players that have farmed vMA would be able to obtain the set therefore making the grind a little easier to get the drop they want. Not being able to get a score would only effect the wearer so ppl going for leaderboard arent effected by ppl using the set.

- All set bonuses removed but gain ability to remove secret sorc passive skill from all sorcs "99% damage reduction from ZOS nerfs"

Skullstachio · June 2018

Tsaesci’s Honorbound Blade (medium)

2: adds [x] Max Stamina.
3: Take 25% less Damage from hidden or invisible enemies.
4: adds [129] Weapon damage.
5: Adds [129] stamina recovery.
5: adds 200 weapon damage to your Two-handed Abilities, when you use a Two-handed ability, you heal for 625 Health per enemy hit.

I wonder how this set would fit in.
This set is basically a two-handed version of Knight errants mail, but with a catch, not as much healing but heals for each enemy hit, encouraging moves such as cleave & reverse slice. Also encourages hybridability between tanking(being able to heal rapidly when dealing with groups of enemies via brawler or reverse slice as well as taking less stealth damage from enemies pvp wise.) and damage dealing(especially viable for maelstrom arena if paired right.) the reason for less healing is because it would overheal considering this set combined with the healing from momentum.

Any chance this could be passed on to the team as a plan B if they temporarily run dry on set idea’s.
