Will Zaan be viable for stamina DDs next patch?

I heard it will scale off the highest resource or something like that. Is this true?

Yes, but that doesn't change anything really. You'll need 6.5k weapon (or spell) damage to make it do as much damage as it does now on live and it will still be flame damage. It's won't be better for stamina than it is now unless you go over that 6.5k.

All proc sets will now scale with various stats, check the PTS forums for the patch notes.

It is astonishingly easy to get 6.5K weapon damage on a stam DD between medium armor passives and fighter's guild passives.

I don’t think damage dealers will use monster sets anymore in PvE. If a mythic item is slotted you can’t use a full monster set or you’d be giving up a 5-piece bonus.

For solo you use Ring of the Pale Order.
For group you use the Harpooner’s Wading Kilt.
For dungeons.... probably Ring of the Pale Order if you don’t have a healer but Harpooner’s Wading Kilt if you do.

At least until the combat design team at ZOS realises that this item is "overperforming", goes agaist the idea of making crit damage less important and consequently change it to a completely useless pile of junk... which should happen somewhere after 5 or 6 weeks (or whenever the Greymoor sales are dropping).
