Bring other sets up to par with it it. Don't need to nerf everything strong, just bring other things up to its power level.

Many others have given their input or crunched the numbers and come to the same conclusion that I have; Malacath is simply overtuned. I don't want to see content removed from the game, even if it's a source of contention, but balance must be struck, and as a tank main it's getting really tiresome to be burdened with yet more nerfs because PvP players have found a way to exploit Malacath and heavy armor to maximize their damage and resistances and pay hardly no opportunity cost in doing so. Your average crit build in PvE has tough choices to make; they need to determine how much penetration is being brought to bear against a boss, figure out how much uptime they have on Minor Force and Major Force from Warhorn in order to figure out what the breakpoints for critical damage vs critical chance are and then see which Mundus Stone they need to take, whether Mother's Sorrow or Medusa or Tzogvin's or Advancing Yokeda would be the superior option, etc etc. In PvP? Just slot Malacath, invest absolutely nothing in critical chance or damage and outdamage those that do invest while ignoring an entire amor trait (Impenetrable) and still being able to critically heal. Not to mention that Malacath also boosts proc sets, which critical damage does not. It's pretty frustrating when the solution to many of these issues has been staring us in the face and PvP players that exploit these strategies try to deflect blame on different aspects of the game like tanks in PvE; Malacath needs a nerf from 25% to maybe 20%. Arctic Blast needs to be split up into two skills; no one skill should provide a 25%HP burst heal, a 15%HP heal over time, an AOE DOT with 300% chance to apply Chill, Minor Maim, Minor Brittle for 10% crit damage and Glacial Presence for another 10% critical damage and healing, AND also an unblockable, AOE 4 second stun in one button press. Ludicrous. Streak needs to ramp up in cost by 50% instead of 33% when used in rapid succession to prevent sorcerers from simply waltzing away anytime they don't wish to fight. Mist Form should also ramp up in cost- both allow their users to pick and choose their battles and dictate the course of a fight at little to no risk for themselves. Battle Spirit's penalty to healing should apply to health recovery just like Major/Minor Defile currently do. And both Necro's Ravenous Goliath and Vampire's Blood Scion forms need to be addressed to prevent the ultimate from being used to simply reset the fight entirely and go from halfway dead to full HP. These changes have been a long time coming and the reason they haven't yet been implemented is because the players that are aware of them have leveraged them to their advantage and purposefully let them fly under the radar while throwing other aspects of the game under the bus.

All the mythics should be removed, they were completely determental to the balance of the game. Single item bonuses that reshape the very rules... honestly someone wasn't thinking straight that day.

In any rpg, but mostly d&d it's best to avoid monty haul rewards, and if you do give the players overpowered items that ruin the game the dungeon master must admit his mistake and remove the imbalanced items in the most delicate way.

Same rules need to apply here, or broken up into three piece items sets that give the same benefit. But as singular items they're too great of power for no sacrifice.
