Buff Proc sets :)

so.

before the cries to delete proc sets..

bloodspawns a proc set.



anyways..
whats a proc set?
something that isnt a stat set.
there are so many different types but simply something that has a bonus you dont get 100% uptime on just for wearing it.

a few examples.
relequen
lokkestiz
selene
bloodspawn
eternal hunt
zaan
siroria

odds are that you most likely use one on your own build.
but some need a buff.
talking about damaging proc sets here (that deal damage as part of the set)

so. why?

well they have low damage.
so sure your selene proc looks hefty, but in pvp when was the last time you saw a player running it competitively?
the tooltip in cp is 15k. but lets mitigate it.
50% from battle spirit
(in my cp) 23% and 9% from cp tho may differ.
then resists.
in total that 15k deals no more than 4k. sure alot of skills have the same damage but they hit hard.
why?
they can crit.

why cant proc sets crit?
because some proc sets were too strong (old viper old selene) so zos nerfed them all.
im going to link some of the ones that are completely and utterly op in every way.

i hope you can sense my sarcasm.

zos did a blanket nerf like they always do, rendering alot of sets that were fine completely useless.
but heres the worst thing.
selene has a 1.3 sec cast time.
its supposed to be avoidable, which is fine, but its so avoidable that you can casually stroll out of the red.
now, you can even stun to try and land it, but it still is easily avoided even with all that effort.

so heres what i propose,
-proc sets can crit
-proc sets have their cast time reduced.
-some proc sets buffed / nerfed individually as needed.

hopefully if executed right, there will be more builds able to run proc sets, but it wont be a meta like it was.

a few other notes:
please be civil
please not the 3rd proposed change, as stuff like zaan would be toned down in order to balance them.
and remember, changes would be tested on the pts. if it was bad, then no harm done and it wont go through.

    That's the only point that needs to be addressed honestly.

    There’s a theme to proc sets if you haven’t noticed. Mag sets get complained about and nerfed. Stam don’t.

    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    Regular non-perfect Lokke needs a buff, imo. The dependence on synergies makes it pretty useless outside of very organized groups. It's far too dependent on other players unless you're a necro with the self-synergy morph.

    tbh 100% uptime is easy.
