Sentinel of Rkugamz: did anyone ask for the change?

Sentinel of Rkugamz: Reduced the amount of Stamina restored from this set to 115 per second, down from 500. This set now also returns Magicka per tick.
I don't like this change AT ALL. There already is a similar monster set that returns both magicka and stamina, why copy that? This specific set supports a group consisting of stamina damage dealers and the tank, at least that's how I see it. The dwemer bug placed neatly where the group is in melee range. Better add magicka return to the Bogdan set.
Many people rage about changes they don't like, so did I. Can someone explain the reason for the change, please?

✭✭✭✭✭This set is a niche set tbh. With this change they should increase proc chance from 10% to at least 25%, and reduce the cool-down.
(2 items) When you heal yourself or an ally, you have a 10% chance to summon a dwemer spider that heals for 1000 Health and restores 500 115 Stamina & Magicka to you and your allies within 5 meters every 1 second for 8 seconds. This effect can occur once every 15 seconds.
So umm...yeah, it is kinda trash set now. At least make the range bigger.... 5 meters lol7 -
Erraln✭✭✭✭✭We asked for it, alright. People were getting utility out of a set, everyone knows that kind of behavior is just asking for it.Edited by Erraln on October 15, 2019 6:59PM16 -

why? no one knows... they seem to desperately want people to stop playing their game for some reason...19 -

Do you mean that line that circles the block so many times we need crowd control rails?0 -

✭They made it into replacement for Master Resto. I see that, but it negates the whole point and uniqueness of the set. Increase the range or made it follow the player it proc on and it can be okayish, but the 115 per tick is useless.4 -

JimmyJuJu✭✭✭✭Unfortunately, Sentinel of Rkugamz drew the short straw in the "Random Set Change" lottery.
Sometimes I wonder if there is a "Wheel of Fortune" or slot machine in the ZOS office that they spin to implement changes. Sure feels like it.16 -

Okay I admit I had a good laugh form that. It’s like they’re reading a map for balancing things and the map is upside down2 -
Grandma✭✭✭✭✭nobody asked for anything this patch except for dots to be "tuned down" which ZOS interpreted as nerfing and buffing by 100s of % in one PTS cycle.
It was a good monster set for stam comps, but now it's pretty much useless. Since sustain is so toilet on PTS though it may just be needed anyway.GH / 3/04/2021 / Elemental Catalyst Necromancer2 -

✭Combat team has a quota of unrelated, unnecessary changes that they have to fill every update. This is part of that quota

Myconos✭✭Let's compare Sentinel to the strength of other monster sets as the devs have supposedly tried to balance it against:
The heal of Sentinel is about 1/3 the strength per second of the healing of Nightflame with same radius and proc chance. Assuming the resource restore part should be 2/3 the strength of Symphony of Blades, then ~4.2 people on average would need to be in the 5m AOE for the entire duration. This assumes everyone needs both magicka and stamina equally, can stay in the AOE the entire time, and Sentinel procs on cooldown. I doubt any of those generous assumptions hold, and Sentinel still wanders to weird locations when it spawns instead of staying next to the healer or the tank all the time. Assuming instead no one besides the tank needs off-stat resource sustain, 8 people would need to sit in there the entire 8 seconds and have it proccing on cooldown with Sentinel spawning at a good location to have a set-value on par with other monster helms. How many fights are that static where 8 or more people can stack and burn in one spot? Sentinel will be weak in any non-trial setting and weak in any fight that isn't incredibly static. I don't think any group could maintain good enough up-time per person on Sentinel to justify it now.

TheNightflame✭✭✭✭✭I like it, but 115 regen/sec for a monster set is waaaaaaaay too low.
500 was not over performing, and adding mag won't either.
though, tbh, this being a direct upgrade to symphony outside of 4 mans does seem a little ehhhh1 -
Kalante✭✭✭✭✭
✭as a stamblade that got it's stun and major defile removed from incap, minor berserk, minor endurance, major fracture removed. All combined with a sweet ult cast delay from last patch at once.... How does it feel to be nerfed? I could care less anymore about others getting nerfed because nobody cared when the nightblade was getting murdered. But now everyone is up and arms lol pathetic.Edited by Kalante on October 15, 2019 11:02PM3 -
BennyButton✭✭✭✭Don't worry guys, everyone who used sentinel will instead use symphony because they both do the same thing but one does it better!2

Maybe TES VI release is closer than we thought and Bethesda has instructed ZOS to kill ESO to build up a hunger for new TES content.2 -
