It was a very niche set. Only viable for Magplars, Magnecro and Wardens. It allowed them to survive against some zerglings. It was already super cheap to buy. Now it's going to be completely worthless.
This is another example of how this game gets butchered because many people don't know how to play this game.
Soon everything will be so squishy in PvP that zerglings will be able to finally 1v1 everyone with light attacks.

    It may be niche but when I combined it with reactive and bloodspawn my healbot could take a serious beating. I do agree though, 1/4 uptime is a bit too little for me to consider it ever again.
    PvP needs more love.

    Imagine if there was a set in the game which gave yourself major berserk for 5 seconds with a very easy proc condition with a 10 second cooldown. Also zerglings benefit more from a tankier meta than a burst one.
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    Riku i generally agree with you, and though people said this was niche set I think it was extremely good on certain classes and builds. But is this right way to fix it? 20 sec? I don't mind changing sets but when it goes from super useful to trash its just stupid.

    Just use BRP Dual Wield for 100% Major Protection uptime ;)

    Another build I've put time into and figured out how to make work for me that zos comes in and poops on smh.
    Itll be another useless set if it goes live like that

    it was a fun set to experiment with, steadfast would be a good replacement for bloodspawn so I could run a damage monster helm in pvp.

    But I can see how it was over preforming on pvp heal tanks, and now with damage being brought down its time to say goodbye :(

    as someone has mentioned above, there are other options tho like BRP duel wield that work just fine

    Well, if there WERE a set like that, it's too bad we lost yet another source of Major Protection.

    I really don't understand why ZOS doesn't just nerf Major Protection (and Major Berserk for that matter) if they don't want anyone to actually use it? Nerfing all these marginal gear sets one by one is kind of silly!

    Let me guess. Warden Betty self purge + steadfast hero. Good, this change is welcomed. Every source of major protection has been nerfed, except of BRP DW which should be "standardised" to.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    It really wasn't that good lol, i tried using it a few times. Now it's 100% useless. Pirates was still better if you wanted major prot.

    Nope . It's an excessive nerf imo.
    I'll admit its slightly overtuned but adding it to the piles and piles of other useless sets is stupid and doesnt encourage build diversity ...

    It is strong on my mag cro ask EP/DC on xbox lol but I also built around it to make it so.
    Solid dps will still blow you up quick even with maj protection there is no need to ruin the set completely

    I tried the set and personally didn’t care for it but I know people who loved it. I personally liked fort brass better but it is getting nerfed too. I do agree that there are so many useless sets in the game because they were good or op at some point. Build diversity has been almost nonexistent for several years now I feel, along l with class diversity and weapon diversity. I would really love not to have to carry a staff of some sort just because I play mag and my friends who play stam always complain about all 2 hands being alike. I agree that is an area that needs working on.

    One of the most unique and flavorful sets in the game while at the same time remaining a competetive option. Smh ZOS it would have been okay to balance it but why did you have to trash it completely??

    Good change. Idiot zerglings need less access to the strongest buffs in the game. Now add a giant cooldown to BRP DW and we'll be golden.

    Agree it's good change. Better to make this set cooldown 15 seconds imho (it will be 33% uptime, enouch balanced i think), but anyway at least it's not 50% free uptime.

    And, this set working at every class.
    When u use snare counter (race in time, phantasmal escape, shuffle, forward momentum etc) it procs.
    Actually I used it in such way at stamdk, mag and stamnb, stamsorc. Easy.
    But, Blackrose daggers more profitable and have no cooldown.
    I guess they are next to be investigated and it's good.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler When we will see also Meridia's Blessed to be nerfed?
    "5 Items: When you block an attack, you have a 33% chance to blind the attacker, causing them to miss all of their attacks for 5 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds."
    This set is not allowed in all duel tounaments i ever heard or saw. it's a good reason to look at it after all these years

    Yep. I wonder whether ZOS realise Tamriel Trade Center exists? That should have told them all they needed to know. I tried it once. I thought it was merely just OK, unlike pre-nerf Pirate, which was much better.

    Right because it's totally ok for some of the strongest Major buffs in the game to be so widely available, such Galaxy-Brain logic coming out of you right now.

    ZOS specifically said that they did not want the strongest buffs in the game widely available to players when they removed Major Mending from Templars during Morrowind PTS. The fact that Major Protection is so widely available is a testament to how dumb their changes are. Meanwhile Major Vulnerability, which is the exact opposite of Major Protection has only recently become available via Necromancer's release.

    So yeah, this is a good change, all we need now is for BRP DW to have a cooldown.

    Good all you guys crying about this happened to look through and see the fact that it was asked to be turned down no you just want to say ZOS is killing the game
    I see this as an start to listening to it PLAYER BASE when told something NEW makes this set work better then beforehand and needs truned down some the% might be to much or to lil who knows but they could always turn it up if its found to not work good look at 7th Legion that sets been up and down for months now why because their trying to get it in place with things
    Big word here TRYING sometimes you get it right the 1st time others you miss the mark but their TRYING and that to me is an GOOD thing
