Vastarie’s Tutelage

2 – Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
3 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
4 – Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
5 – Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
5 – Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
5 – When you resurrect an ally, you and your ally gain 258 Weapon and Spell Damage and 10% cost reduction to all abilities for 10 seconds.

Can we just remove that resurrect bonus and turn the set into a stamina version of Amberplasm? The 5p bonus is just too niche and the set will just end up not getting used at all...

This set is not good with Resurrect Bonus, this bonus is useless on any set.

Either increase duration to 45 seconds or change 5th piece bonus to:

5- 150 Weapon and Spell Damage
5- 150 Magicka Recovery and 150 Stamina Recovery

Coldharbour's Favorite Damage is good, I would recommend making it possible to proc both conditions. The conditions are solid, but it's a bit underwhelming with such a long cooldown to have RNG decide which proc will occur!

Agreed, I have healing on one bar and damage on my back bar, but couldn't get it to proc while doing any damage. Also if/when it does proc the visual effects should be different for each condition, i.e green circle for the healing (which is all I have seen) and maybe blue circle for the damage. Also does the "Mount" not actually spawn because all we could see is the growing green circle under the player?

Is there a reason I can't get it to proc when doing damage?

Are you considering pairing any of the sets from this patch with existing sets? If so, which ones?

I plan on pairing this set Coldharbours Favorite with Vestment of Olorime on my healer and had originally planned on using Earthgore monster set, but with the nerf to how many it heals, I will probably go back to an older set I was using in the past. I need the healing of 6 lowest targets as I heal a lot of Trials. She is purely a PVE character, so it disappoints me that Earthgore is being changed and I am assuming it is because of it's use in PVP.

Zaan Set:
1 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(2 items) When you damage a nearby enemy with a Light or Heavy Attack, you have a 20% chance to create a beam of fire that will connect you to your enemy. The beam deals 3440 Flame Damage every 1 second to your enemy for 5 seconds. Every second, this damage increases by 50%. The beam is broken if the enemy moves 8 meters away from you. This effect can occur every 18 seconds.

*You can increase the cooldown and/or reduce the damage of the beam

I disagree any changes because of breaking the beam. When you are having to move around and keep the beam on your target, that is difficult enough as it is. Also the 8 meters, that makes staying on target hard as well. My opinion is to leave it as it is. Thanks.

That looks like you were close to full health for some of those healing ticks.

There was a change in how healing and damage is reported to addons, and Combat Metrics on the PTS will currently report only how much missing health was recovered. For example, if you were at 17000/18000 health and take a 2000 healing tick, CMX on Live will report that healing tick as 2000 (the full value of the tick), but CMX on the PTS will report that healing tick as 1000 (the amount of missing health actually recovered).

It looks like from that log that you're just seeing the actual missing health that was healed and not the full value of the healing ticks.

Would you qualify any sets from this patch as "game breaking"? If so, why?

One stands out the most:

Claw of Yolnakhriin – Tank
5 – When you taunt an enemy, you give yourself and 11 group members Minor Courage for 15 seconds, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 129. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds.

This is such a large impact (+1548 group Weapon Damage and +1548 group Spell Damage) that it will be a must-have for every tank in a trial group. This will widen the already expansive gulf between the no-death speed runners, which will benefit from the DPS boost, and the less experienced progression groups, which will mostly suffer from a squishier tank.

This will most assuredly cause Ebon to be shifted over to a healer as well.

So you end up with a tank that's not as tanky and a healer that's not as healery, and that really kills the feel of group composition.

The set is way better than something like Powerful Assault (+656/+656 group Weapon/Spell damage with a limited radius and a non-role specific proc condition), and it probably ought to behave more like that.

The main issue is probably the proc condition. One fix would be to make it a bit more clunky so a DPS role can use it, something like this:

"When you deal damage with a fully-charged Heavy Attack against a taunted enemy, you give yourself and 11 group members Minor Courage for 15 seconds, increasing your Weapon and Spell Damage by 129. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds."

What is wrong with proc condition, causing proc on Taunt is perfect reason to be used as Tank Set

Causing proc on taunt means ONLY the tank can use it, and tanks will likely be compelled to use it because the effect is so huge. It redefines the tank's role too much in a not fun way.

It's a great set--that's the issue. It's meta-redefining and ought to be handled delicately.

Let tank use this only, there shall be no longer Alkosh + Ebon meta!

@JHartEllis I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume that was your idea of sarcasm and humor.

For the first time in literally years, ZOS designs a tank set that tanks actually want to use. In what universe would a set like that make sense on a DD? A set that benefits the entire group like that belongs on a support and is exactly the type of set that should be on a support, and even if you design it as a DD set, it'll get used on a support (cf., Alkosh).

And, yes, this set will be required of any serious tanks. So what? How's that a bad thing? It's about time some variety got introduced in the tanking meta. I'm looking forward to the MT dropping Torug for Claw.

3/4 Sunspire sets look great. However, Nahviintaas seems underwhelming. To be on par with Worm or Hircine's (4% cost reduction) you would need each member of the group to activate one of your synergies every 9 seconds. In a trial group that means putting out 11 synergies every 9s, not really feasible. Sure it gives decent sustain to the wearer, that will get good uptime of the 12% cost reduction, but I don't think most trials healers were looking for a Seducer alternative (and if they were they could just use False God's anyway).

I think Nahviintaas could be very interesting if it did not exclude ultimate cost reduction. Or better yet, just make it solely a passive ultimate cost reduction for the group. Maybe 8% ultimate cost reduction for up to 11 allies within 28m. This would basically be a half-strength Akaviri Dragonguard set for the group, similar to how Hircine and Worm are half strength cost reduction sets for the whole group (4% vs 8% on solo sets). It wouldn't have much impact on DPS either, since ultimates are only about 10% of a player's damage at most, so it would be roughly 0.8% group DPS gain (maybe 1% if you factor in slight increases in Major Slayer uptimes and Warhorn buffs).

Except on a Necro Ult with 3 revives...

Call of the Undertaker – Heavy
2 – Adds 4% Healing Taken
3 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
4 – Adds 4% Healing Done
5 – Adds 1206 Maximum Health
5 – When you deal damage with a Light Attack, you apply Minor Lifesteal to your enemy for 8 seconds, healing you and your allies for 600 Health every 1 second when damaging them. This effect can occur once every 8 seconds.

Could you please consider increasing the time from 8 seconds to 20 seconds? For a 5 piece bonus, it would be great to see the duration equal to the Restoration Staff skill Force Siphon. Thank you.
