If any set or skill can break an aspect of pvp, it shouldn't be introduced in that form. As it was curse eater was going to be a universally good defensive set for every class and build in the game, with broken mechanics against sorcs and mag dks. just because this set wasn't so good that a few people in a raid could run…
@sharee The entire basis of all ur arguments makes no sense. For starters the issues with snipe aren't new but even if it were, it would still not make it balanced. Something being balanced before doesn't make it balanced now. Things change over time that affect different things in many ways. Yes, certain sets being broken…
One of the ''perks'' of using a mobile phone is auto correction, thanks for reminding me though /s If you think them not spending much time on set balance is bad, you don't wanna know how little they do about class balance. Very rarely ZOS handled class balance in a careful way, untill recently it was usually massive nerfs…
Something not being used excessively doesn't make it balanced. Just because it's harder to incorporate it into a build it doesn't mean that it's balanced cause when you actually do make a build with it, it is broken. In the latest PC EU tournament the winner did make a build with it and heavy attacked his way to the prize.…
Some things are obviously broken from the word go. Rapid regen lasts 16.5 seconds. With this set you can cleanse 16 negative effects and restore 1200 magica (basically 150 magica regen) for pressing one button every 16.5 seconds. Plus you can't recreate live PvP on the pts. Imagine being outnumbered fighting two guys with…
Reminder that this set currently is overtuned since it is too easy to proc for any player, and it is too easy to stack the effects. It feels like it should be a healer set, where a healer can wear it and benefit his allies (but not every DPS player running it). In its current state, one healer wearing it in a group is not…
What makes this set broken is the fact that you dont have to activley do anything other then refresh a hot. Think about how useful it is to use allot of purge in pvp, now imagine you dont have to do anything and can now cast other skills while getting that effect. I could literally ignore a sorcs burst. No defile off snipe…
You cannot compare slotting a skill with a set and say you save a skill slot and the resources needed to apply a similar effect. By that logic, all damaging proc and monster sets should be off the table, as well. They offer damage without further do, without skill slotted. It's how proc sets work. And by slotting Curse…
Curse eater was really strong, a bit broken because had pottential to nulify a lot of dots (mag dk dots for example), bleeds, negative effectes and combo procing every 2 seconds. the cd was strong. making it 8 secs will basicly allow for most negative effects or dots to stay for their full duration, making the set almost…
Having had hours long discussions about this set, there have been two situations which this set is potentially overperforming. There are caveats to each situation, which I will also outline. * One person is fighting one or more people, and one enemy is wearing this set. If they are running a debuff/DoT specc'ed build (i.e.…
