Emblem of the Last Ayleid King

So this mythic is on the U40 PTS, is currently available for testing, but was not mentioned in the patch notes

There's no nice way to talk this about the mythic; it is bad. While 15% damage done to enemies, reduced damage to you and increased healing power sounds nice, you're losing out on a lot of bonuses, ranging from max health and resources, crit chance, recovery, weapon/spell damage increases to complete monster sets and ability-altering weapons (AAW). While I doubt it will be released with U40, should this mythic go live as is at any time in the future it will be dead on arrival.

I now wish to ask the people their thoughts on the mythic, ways to improve it, or to get rid of it entirely, or perhaps a third or other option.

I would say “none more than 2” would more than make the mythic adequate, that way you can at least use an arena weapon with it.

It is a leftover mythic from Necrom which they didn't release because they weren't happy with it

I'm confident it will not be released now either.

It's obviously a poorly designed mythic, and players knew about it since Necrom's closed beta. It's no surprise that it wasn't released with Necrom, but why hasn't zos redesigned and re-released it after six long months and two updates across the board? Considering all the official Necrom ads mention that Necrom will contain 4 mythics after released it with only 3 of them, does this constitute deception on the consumer?

Most likely they have no immediate plans to release it and so have no incentive to redesign it.

As for whether it is deceptive marketing, no, it is one minor change between earlier marketing material to the finished product. If something announced was missing from the majority of the announced features or a major feature was missing entirely, then maybe you could start talking about deceptive marketing.

It's so bad. I'm amazed it got as far as being designed.

it could have been good if they made it like "while you dont have any 5 piece set bonus. Or a minimum of a 3 piece set bonus. Under 2 is just pointless and worthless. If they release it someday like it should be, it would have potential.

They could have tweaked it a bit like say every active set bonus equal to 2pc or more reduces the effect by 2%.

The opposite way where it starts at 5% and every 2pc bonus you have active increases the effect by 2% while every 3pc or more active set bonuses reduces effect by 2%. That way you would go Arena Weapon Set, Monster Set, 2 pc Wisdom or Agility Jewelry, 2pc Druid's Braid, 2pc Trainee, and 1 random piece to achieve the 15%. The 1pc bonuses on Monster Set or Druid's Braid would do nothing for or against the Mythic.

I have a feeling that this wasn't supposed to be released, and will probably be patched back out.

Some people have mentioned that this has been in the files for Necrom and didn't end up showing up there. I also can't help but notice that's a standard ring icon (all mythics have unique icons) and it takes the 'neck' position.

This was probably not supposed to be released, and I'd be surprised if it's not dummied back out.
