Plaguebreak won't work in PVE anymore?
Plaguebreak: This set now will only attempt to apply itself to enemy players, rather than any enemy. Note that the explosion can still damage and be amplified by nearby non-players.
Developer Comment:
Spoiler
This change was made to correct a behavior we've been seeing in PvP areas where you could apply this set to entities (such as pets or guards) that lacked critical knowledge of how to counter-play the mechanics introduced. This also hits the truly creative uses of the set in PvE where we have seen some humorous videos that wipe out entire dungeons with relative ease, which while we appreciated the ingenuity, it was *slightly* over performing.

Lol, I saw that video the other day, probably the one the devs watched too0 -
Dragonlord573✭✭✭✭✭This is the biggest disappointment of the bunch. Another example of one or very few people ruining the fun for everyone.
I've been using plague break lately in overland and dungeons on my own and it's made fighting groups of enemies far more manageable. Like come on, why not just decrease the damage it causes to monsters? If the damage was halved it would still be useful in PvE and not cause the issues ZOS sees it is currently causing.3 -
Alphawolf01A✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, if it was *slightly* over performing, you don't fine tune it with a sledgehammer!5

BenTSG✭✭✭✭If this is what they wanted, they should have made it do that in PvP *only*, instead of removing it's effect's completely from PvE, or to edit it's stats or add a cap to total damage.
If this change goes through to live, then I am *certainly* completely stopping any payments to this game. This is just stupid.2 -
Alphawolf01A✭✭✭✭✭I'm going to re route this post over to a better posting about this topic.
