    Any counterplay which boils down to "don't play the game" is not something healthy for the game OR the studio's wallet.

    They are just punching a dead horse

    The only my question is: where is a mag version of this set? Something like:

    Mage of Noobish (Light)
    2: Spell Damage
    3: Spell Critical
    4: Spell Damage
    5: When you deal damage with a direct magical attack, you have a 25% chance to traumatize your enemy, negating their next 5500 points of healing for 4 seconds. This effect can occur once every 4 seconds.

    There was too many people running around healing from 3k health to full in an instant. Good job zos , I like the change.

    Excuse me, you got something against a well timed rally?

    Yeah and self heals

    Why

    I thought it was obvious that I was using satire and mocking someone

    Vigor spammers? You mean players with brains?


    No, I mean people who can just spam Vigor throughout a whole fight with their buddies who are also doing the same thing. You need some sort of counter to these cheesers.

    The problem is that instead of addressing cheese, they add a counter to it, only that counter works just as well (or better) against typical players as it does against the cheesy ones. It’s not a good balance strategy, yet here we go again.

    1. I think this set is complete trash and should be removed (or make the proc conditions significantly more difficult and the debuff halved. And it shouldn't stack. Actually, it should just be Mangle a la Impulse).
    2. I don't think it's the death of solo play.

    I played primarily solo through the sloads patch, and that had similar problems (when stacked). It was frustrating, and sometimes you faced up against 3+ users and just couldn't do anything, but with patience, good fights were still to be had. This won't be *that much* worse, imo.

    Applying Minor Mangle instead is a good idea for this set; it's a debuff stam doesn't have access to.

    Honestly I think it keeps the spirit of the set alive while making it significantly less toxic.

    Maybe minor mangle with a 6 second duration on a 4 second cooldown? So you can maintain full uptime on a single target or have some value in teamfights mangling 1.5 people at all times...

    this game was ment to be played also in solo, yes

    It was just annoying. I am glad it is gone. Beating this dead horse makes it even better. Only good thing about solo was watching streamers but I can live withoout it.

    Don’t worry. You’re still gonna get 1vXed, small scaled, packed up and respawn on the forums groveling for nerfs. Guarantee it. Cus see, ppl who constantly cry for nerfs and applaud crutch sets have no interest or ability to actually improve. So the result for you, ultimately, will be the same regardless what handicaps they add. See you in your next post whining about whatever.

    LOL! What an assumption you just made based on the fact I'm excited about countering those Vigor spammers, which in-turn gives me the assumption that you're that type of player. And I don't see any indication I was crying about nerfs; instead I was applauding the fact that we can finally counter those type of players. If anything, I was saying good job to ZOS for the buff. Nice try, though.

    This set is absolute garbage and garbage players will love it. Is this junk designed for people who dont have thumbs or something? What are you thinking @ZOS_Wrobel Maybe next set you can just make it have a 25% chance to reduce targets health to zero with any attack. This goes against every single change you have made to the healing lowering mechanics. What you took away from them, you just gave back twofold. This needs reworked immediately or every zergling gonna wear this and sloads, or this and the new heal ally set. Some of us enjoy solo good sir. Please stop giving controller zombies a way to button spam one ability in a group of 24 and win without skill. Honestly I'd like to see you guys roll back every single free damage proc set as well. So tired of sets that free win for people who have no skill with the sticks..

    Borrowed Time already does this same effect, no? It’s hard to determine it’s impact when it’s being stacked on us with a stupid amount of siege. But really not a fan of how things are moving. There was a (joking) suggestion on the eso subreddit that all defile skills/sets might be changed to mirror this concept which would be truly horrifying.

    Borrowed time does the same effect BUT: borrowed time it's a stun. Borrowed time has a channel time.

    Just like the original Sloads, the best answer to this set is to have a dedicated healer in your PVP group.

    Once again, ZOS buffs premades and organized groups.

    No. ZOS buffs everyone who has more people regardless of aptitude

    You act like this is some brainless move. Timing your rallies to generate a full heal burst requires skill, and you hate it only because you can’t do it/don’t understand it. That skill is available to all stamina classes. The reason you only see a few people doing it is because it’s not actually as easy as it looks.

    Counter "Vigor Spammers"?

    You think it's cheese to cast healing abilities?

    You should know that when you say things like that, I hear, "I get packed up on the daily".

    This is a bad set, and doesn't "counter" any one problem- it counters everybody, and will disproportionally harm bad players, preventing even their raid heal-bots from saving them.

    Coming from a person who sees small groups using Vigor to constantly heal themselves and their allies which totally negates the point of a healer. And this person is open to the possibility of a new set that might switch the dynamic of PvP to have more group diversity rather than 8 people of the same class/race with the same skills running around.

    But hey, frame it however you'd like if it makes you feel better.

    My dude just count your losses nd give it up man.
    First what I believe youre trying to say is players STACK vigors. Spamming vigor kinda defeats its purpose.
    Second youre making an absolute fool out of yourself implying people shouldnt be able to heal their battlebuddies.

    Why people assume u get rekt on a daily basis in cyro unless you surf the zerg is because you make statements like those that make you look very ignorant regarding game mechanics nd general combat.

    Just let it go.

    All these people crying about a set that's not even out yet, and all I'm addressing is the fact that this will give healers a bigger role in PvP while limiting the ability to self-heal throughout a whole fight. And I could care less what people like you make assumptions about. But if I'm going to jump on the bandwagon train here and start making assumptions as well, I'll throw it out there that you're unintelligent based on your comments and grammar.

    Not all people like to be a useless zergling in a zerg. Some people like the challange to fight big groups and win. Sets like this just shout what this game has become: a Filty Casual Game. They are milking this game, i don't think they put much love into it

    nd that being said
    What good is a dedicated healer that cant heal?

    First off, I won't comment on your ability to write a complete, thoughtful statement again as it's a low-blow.

    And to refer to your questions: you act like every single person is all of a sudden going to switch to this set. And if a healer can't offer more than 5.5k healing in 4 seconds then you definitely need to find a new healer in your group. The only thing (which I believe is the crux of all your whining) that this will reduce is the effectiveness of Vigor, but it won't completely negate it so just relax.
