Engine Guardian Set needs to have a cooldown the uptime is too high on certain classes

Deltia would be ashamed of you.......

I totally agree. Bogdan the Nightflame should be be nerfed too, as Sorcs are known to spam healing ward or rapid regen the set procs way more than on other classes, and the heal provided is just too strong.

Yeah well I'm serious. The set causes problems with targeting on console and when you bash it it doesn't always even disappear right away. If it's fine on PC then that's fine. Console Engine Guardian needs a fix then.

Last time I checked all classes had the same GCD for casting skills. Sorcs are not special in this regard.

I stopped using it for my tank when I did the math and 2 regen moster pieces would provide more magicka than the Engine Guardian did.

Engine Guardian may only have a 10% chance to proc the dwemer automation but those who know realize that on classes like Magicka Sorceror where you're constantly refreshing shields this thing has a almost permanent uptime as long as you have good sustain.

What you are referring to is a game-hack which has been reported repeatedly (and ppl have been banned repeatedly for it) which gives cheaters a 100% uptime of the dwemer device on ANY character class and without using any skills. Sometimes they even have two dwemer spheres active at the same time.

This might be the last set in the game that needs a nerf.

You can bash it, which sometimes doesn't work right away, but the moment one goes down another one is back up.

When it procs it restores up to 15,106 Health, Stamina, or Magicka over 6.5 seconds. That's more than Argonian with Resourceful passive using Tri Stat Pots. But the real issue with it isn't even that, it's with the ability to LoS it like a regular pet. Nearly every Sorc uses it on PS4 because of it screwing with player targeting more than anything else. This is probably far more a console problem than PC though due to controller vs mouse and likely stronger aim assist.

Engine Guardian needs some kind of short cooldown so that it's not instantly respawning just as you bash and interrupt the first proc or at least give us some way on console to target just the player and ignore the dwemer automation because the current highlight target doesn't do it.

this isnt even a problem. it doesnt spawn enough its probly the most useless set in the reliability department

It’s an underrated set but far from op.

Engine Guardian doesn't need a nerf. I would like to see it remain about 3-5m away from the user. It has a tendency to "stick" to players.

However I feel there is a bug right now where the guardian is still active after the beam has disappeared - whether the buff is still active is another question.

It might be a graphics glitch on the users end but I see it remaining around longer than it should.

I'm going to get some video on my Sorc and see if I can recreate it later.

Anyways, nerf Sorc.

Engine guardian has been useless for ages most of the time it'll proc stam in mag classes and mag on stam classes or the opposite of whatever stat you need right that moment

Stam is what you typically need more than anything else on a MagSorc to keep from being pinned down. Even if it procs the opposite of what you need you're able to make use of it. If it procs stamina and your full stamina you can run full sprint for the 6.5 seconds or use Dark Conversion to get magicka. If it procs Magicka and your low Stamina you can just Streak.

If you think it's useless you just haven't ever run into a skilled Sorc that can LoS well or especially a whole group of them running it. To me it's the most annoying thing in the game to fight with it having no cooldown.

That's just it.

Twohothardware,

EG doesn't need a nerf. Also on PS4 NA, it's not just MagSorcs running it in PvP. I'm seeing a lot of other classes run it.

As for your targeting complaints, while I get that can be an issue if you're running single target abilities, you can always just Dawnbreaker the guy if he hides behind it. It'll stop the EG, and also hit the Sorc at the same time.
