Not only obscuring the boss but quite a distraction when fighting daedric foes. I often spend half a rotation trying to kill one when it pops during a dolmen before I realize its that darn monster set proc.

I shall question myself when the day has come, where a fat crocodilian interfers with my tanking prowess.
A much bigger annoyance is the fact that attacks in pvp always prefer pets despite tab target.

So long as people are not wearing it when we are doing the Banished cells 2 or dungeons with a lot of mechanics that rely on visual queues.

Its usually manageable when there is just one Daedroth in the way but when there are 3 it just makes a lot of stuff impossible to see, provided people are willing to change sets when asked in chat, its not a big deal but when they are not, don't blame the tank if the group wipes or if the tank has enough and leaves, especially in some of the more mechanic heavy dungeons.


That all said, cracked me up once was healing a dungeon and the tank was getting all annoyed(literal paragraphs in chat airing his grievances) because someone had the set and that whoever it was, was refusing to change sets, he realized about half way through the final fight in vet banished cells 2, that he had the set on, he apologized afterwards.

I hate it and sometimes i leave groups over this set if i'm not in a good mood. There is nothing fun about getting your view blocked by this ugly daedroth. I'm trying my best to buff the dds even if it means using something like spaulder that works against myself, so in return i'll expect a little bit of mutual respect from dds.

Coming from a tank: The daedroth is big, but if you sidestep a tiny bit it does not block the view anymore. So for me it's not a big issue.

The necromancer's HUGE ultimate however, does block the entire screen when I am tanking. Like wtf, why is that thing so huge when he pounds on enemies.

When one player in the group wears it it's just an annoyance. When two players in the group wear it it's painful. When three players in the group wear it it's intolerable.

LOL. Yes, I've had groups when the Healer and both DPS wore it. Daedroth butt in my face at every turn.

I love my big spicy stompy lad

Seriously tho the only time I wear that set is maybe when running dailies or other solo content.
And even then I feel like it blocks my fov a tad too often.
It's like my Warden's Netch. It's invaluable for her but ISTG it's constantly centering right in my line of sight, drives me insane.

But yeah, any group content like WB or dragons I'm wearing something other than Maw.

It can be annoying sometimes depending on the situation and it can lead to confusion in rare instances, but generally it's not an issue.
Maybe if we are in a raid and we got 8 people using it... but most of the time you only have to deal with one and that's perfectly fine.

Have no problems with it, I know target highlight system exists.
There are ten thousand other effect in your face at all times anyway, if anything Maw is less of a problem than all the glowy effect obscuring highlight.

As a tank I hate it. To the point where I don't even like running on my DD b/c I have flashbacks to hating it as a tank.

I actually refused to tank a run if a DD wore it during hardcore trial runs for a while b/c it obscured my character so badly.

A lot could be improved just by having it not auto-spawn where it does (front and center of who its attacking) so that it wouldn't appear right on top of the tank and completely obscure the character model. Spawn it middle of rear instead of front, or probably best, at a 90 degree angle to side of the target.

Mostly it's just annoying and you can live with it in easier stuff like dungeons (especially with just two DDs usually), but when you are doing trifecta attempts in trials, sometimes having yet another annoyance/distraction on top of everything else going on in a run is just unnecessary (especially when it can be fixed by being designed better). And when you consider that most top trials are all magicka DDs at times and you'd have multiple of these spawning on top of you constantly. Really fun trying to juggle ohm's mega punches while being obscured by multiple deadroth and the handful of other things I had to juggle in the trial on top of just tanking the boss. Or trying to block the right ghost in the second boss of HoF while deadroth obscure everything (and it's even more fun if someone throws a storm atro down right by you).

I play on ultra settings and have been a PVE tank main forever. Never cared. It doesn't bother me at all. Not sure why it would even bother anyone.

I use mine while soloing. I've actually gotten used to not seeing my target ;-) , especially in halls and tunnels...

Unlike tanks, my average queue time is 20 minutes and I think I should at least have the luxury of using the sets I love.
