That was way too brutal. I can understand that longer coldown to duration ratio were changed, but from 75% stamina level to 50% stamina level... ah. That set went from being actually good to be underwhelmingly bad. It cannot be procced on demand by tank, healers still could do it somehow, but healer with 50% stamina is a often a dead healer.
How do you see those nerfs, and can you see it being used in your trial group after these nerfs?

That set was never good to begin with. I get that you may be upset because you use it, but don't expect people to care about such a minor issue. Niche builds suffer lonely.

Yes, exactly, healers can somehow use it, if they like to risk. But we can check it off from list of good tank sets, because to be honest, it was tedious enough even on 75% level of stamina but now that set becomes a danger at 50% stamina for not so good payoff.WrathOfInnos wrote: »The MK nerf isn’t too bad. At least it lasts 5s instead of 4s after activation. It will still get used, and arguably synergizes better with PotL now that it is best to use every 8-9s.
@satanio @Olupajmibanan what you guys failed to realize is that it's isn't live. Being good in one iteration of pts doesn't mean that set is good at all! It means o kg that, for that week, it was like that. You can only say it was good if it makes to live. 5.1.0 version won't make it to live so this set, as I said, was never good to begin with and will remain bad and niche. If you went ahead and bought it on live ahead of the change, that's on you. You made a bet and you bet wrong and that's it. Pts is always subject to change week to week. Think the popular (and wrong) understanding of shrodinger cat... Until you open the box, the cat is both alive and dead.
This set can still be changed again and be good, btw, but complaining about a Nerf of something that never technically existed to begin with? This is taking it too far. We all hate needing but this isn't how you make them stop. Don't abuse the word, or you risk taking the meaning away from it.

What are you talking about? This is PTS section of a forum, created to provide a feedback for a given PTS iteration of given PTS patch, that pretty much exists in reality on PTS server.
In this patch, on first iteration, they've manage to make affable support set Martial Knowledge. After 2 iterations, they've managed to make it less appealing and not good in regards to my observation. I'm providing my feedback.
This set can be changed again, but it would not be, if people don't raise opinions, because you know, in my country we say that silence gives consent.
But please, don't turn this discussion into pseudo-philosophical topic about existence or non-existence of things. That is not what this forum is created for.
jeez.

Hehe not quite. You're wrong on multiple accounts. I don't lead, I don't run trials(for the most part) and I don't even own Elsweyr.
But yeah... I guess you got my point.

Is that all the game has to you? Trials and the newest dlc only? Hehe poor human. My game is full of other activities! FULL. I love this game.

How can you nerf something that only exists in the realm of a test environment? If it's being tested, it isn't being nerfed. It's being, well... Tested.
I'm not sure how I feel about this change.
On one hand it's interesting to have people running dedicated sets for organized groups. It adds to the complexity and some people love complex things.
But on the other hand I have lots of experience from other games where you have to have a player with specific sets or skills or a role to provide. And sometimes it was a pain to find someone for that spot. Yes, you could do that without them, but you knew you were already suboptimal from the very beginning. And it wasn't enjoyable, because you *knew* you will struggle. The simple knowledge of that fact demoralized the group. I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but the point remains.
So I'm probably quite happy we are allowed to run whatever we want (to some degree).

I'm entirely satisfied with this particular aspect of ESO. A set for groups or a selfish one, if ran properly, will make for ok runs either way, unless you're going for scores or speed runs.
I don't lead, I don't run trials(for the most part) and I don't even own Elsweyr.

I agree too
@satanio made a point that this still is part of the game - mostly on tanks (Alkosh, Ebon, Yolna) and healers (Olorime), while on DPS it was removed. This is an interesting question - what was behind the decision to remove support sets from DPS and keep them on tanks and healers only? This is also a bit dangerous question, because people will just say - ofc, tanks and healers are support roles, they should wear support sets. But is it really? In other games it's often not like that.
I agree that healer, or magDD, are now only specs that can wear it and use it reliably. But the downside is being at 50% stamina. I stated that it could be dangerous for a healer to use in a trial situation and I hope that you could also address this concern. Do you think that it is worth the danger of being not broken free out of stun and potentionally die? Will you use it once the patch comes live?To the OP, this may seem like a massive nerf, but the changes to Bone Surge make it (Bone Surge) a really attractive stam skill for healers, since it's going to give Major Vitality to 6 players at once now, which is really needed after losing some of our layered healing capabilities (assuming they fix the over-performing EV). Keeping up PotL and BS should keep our stam low enough to reliably proc this set. The uptime issue is kinda ugly, and I'm not sure I understand why they felt it was necessary, but It can be extended to 7 seconds with Jorvulds.
