torug's pact set in pvp... did we just kill pvp?

I have decided to share what just broke pvp in order to make everyone run it until ZOS fixes it.

Been running Trougs pact medium and heavy in pvp the last few days, you can mix it with viper and skoria for max cheese glass build, or with fury or seventh legion and blood spawn or troll kings for good sustain.

I use a infused vma axe on the back bar, as the stampede rush leaves a slow and a dot on the target that proc my enchant.
Front bar I have an infused axe and a infused dagger and use rending slashes, that will proc my enchants to.

Okey watch this.

My backbar has a 5350 damage shock enchant as it proc the extra damage off balance and so on .... every 1 sec
On my front bar I slot a disease enchant for ca 4500 and major defile and a ca 2500 oblivion damage enchant as it go through all shields.... every 1 sec.

So fare I have only run in to 1 class that can handle that kind of dots and that is a Templar as they can purge it.

Every other person I have fought in pvp died to enchants and bleeds only, I didn’t even need to use other skills, just stamped in that leaves a dot, then rending slashes and step back and watch people melt no matter how many heals or shields they throw out..


This needs a major chance and fast as pvp will die in days if this goes on... so I herby call for everyone to abuse it so hard that it breaks the game to a point where ZOS will have to change it if they want their game to be playable.

Kind regards Malleus.

Hit me up In game if you have questions.

    We have found weapon enchants to be overperforming and as a result, sorcs have been nerfed to compensate. Hehe

    This has already become a meme quite some time ago. Unfortunately, with zos being, well, zos, they're likely to actually take it at face value without realizing its a meme.

    You know. Becuase they never consider reverting the step too far.

    Create a problem, use that problem as an excuse to destroy everything else.

    ..yes, I'm complaining about a buff, because I know the corresponding, heavy handed nerf is coming next.

    It was already highlighted by players in the PTS testing - seems Zos either decided to do nothing, or couldn't change it in time.

    So I guess we're stuck with it for some time..

    Ofc you could always slot a shielding enchant to help counter the damage enchants... but the whole thing makes DW super-strong just because of the double-enchants - and then even further by easy access to a weapon-dot(+bleeds) to keep em proccing..

    Nowhere near as strong on a mag build that only has a single enchant on staff, only on the front bar (reach) - and no available resto dots to proc from back-bar.

    So yeah,, huge buff to stam, while mag has to eat the huge shield nerf.

    Sometimes i wish Activision hadn't ruined WoW. ESO is a much better game at the moment, but Blizzard would hotfix broken stuff like this within hours. We're probably gonna have to put up with the torug's, dual wield, broken meta for the next 3 months.

    The saddest part is that even Alcast made a video about it, and they still didn't fix it before release.

    When do they ever fix issues like this before it goes live?

    How many times did ppl from pts say, "hey, this is overperforming"?

    Push it out as fast as possible. We can fix it later with the next dlc and then have a whole new batch of problems that they'll fix next dlc.

    I wonder if they will make the exception...but I doubt they care unless you can melt PvE with a setup with your eyes closed, then they take immediate action :D

    The funny thing about this recap is that all this damage is from 4 tics at the same time, I did the same damage to a friend when we tested it, I took me 4 sec to bleed him dry even when he had vigor troll king and rally going.

    So glad I'm done forever with battlegrounds and never have to set foot in there again.

    This is just disgusting, and another shame on ZOS' combat team in a LONG, LONG line of "shame on you"'s.

    Yes people do: Use rending slash on the backbar and go on the dual wield frontbar, where you weave the other two enchants in.

    Next DLC: Armor of the Atronach (craftable, all weights) 5 piece bonus absorbs enchantment effects, each absorbed effect grants 10 seconds of 5K crit resist, 2 second cooldown

    Not really though. Probably.

    Torugs is not the problem. It wasn't a problem in every single patch before Murkmire.

    So...what changed?

    Obviously it's the ridiculous way weapon enchants can now proc with less than one thumb. There is your culprit. Thank ZOS.
