Exchanged for Bright Troats 2h bc it both would grant a line of max mag. Tested with precise 2h greatsword on frontbar. It will buff if you are idle and come out of cloak. Yeah I was thinking maybe that as well, but then I thought it might mean you don’t get the buff when you first attack from stealth, as I’m not sure if you count as in combat at the point when you first leave stealth in this case.Ĭurrently, if you aren't in combat and gank someone it won't buff your first attack either. But again, this could be address simply by making it drop off from unequip only and not bar swap.Įither this or their beloved solution of "only works in combat". So the only extra exploit I see versus all those options is that you can unequip it after triggering the effect. The only thing I can see is that Stygian can be triggered out of combat whereas the others generally have a trigger that requires you to be in combat. There are countless sets that work similarly by having a trigger for a temporary effect - Seventh, Briarheart, Spellweave, Scathing, Lich etc all jump to mind. I can understand making it drop off if you actually unequip the set, but bar swapping? Yeah that seems really weird to make it drop off on bar swap. I just made a quick check and it doesn't carry over. So it's been tested that if you swap away from stygian you lose the bonus?īeacuse de equipping doesn't mean the same as swapping away from it. I've been playing Dishonored lately, and even though it's single player & I'm comparing apples & oranges, at least all my skills work properly. I've lost any faith I had in ZOS' ability to make magblade a viable PVP class. The only class I truly enjoy playing just keeps on getting directly & indirectly nerfed at every turn & I've had enough. This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me - I haven't been on the PTS since week one, and I have no intention of paying any more money for this game. have countless posts complaining about them, yet those sets went completely untouched while Stygian gets nerfed into the ground. Meanwhile sets like Crimson Twilight, Unfathomable Darkness, Vateshran Destro, Frenzied Momentum, Unleashed Terror, Syvarra's Scales, Venomous Smite, etc. Literally no one was complaining about magblades running Stygian - they're basically 100% harmless against even the most average stam toon. Yeah, this change is just straight up garbage. Its time to fix magblade by looking on class, not sets that carry them. Stygian is much stronger than clever alchemist so thats why it got this treatment while clever alchemist doesnt
So while these sets work in same way, there are other things to keep in mind while comparing sets strength.
If you compare set strength of stygian and clever alchemist, you can clearly see stygian is even more stronger, without drawback of sacrifice your jewelry enchants.Ĭlever alchemist gives you 804 spell damage with 25s cooldown (44% uptime) while stygian 627 spell damage with no cooldown (100% uptime) enchants) in order to get 804 spell damage (as you can see it isnt really worth it) You can build clever alchemist to have almost 100% uptime, but at cost of more potions and sacrifice of 832 spell damage (infused jewel. 15seconds is long time to do some damage and then re-aply it without issue which was making this set much stronger than, compared to clever alchemist when you have just brief time to have more spell/weapon damage. I think they made it because while you can have 100% uptime on stygian, you can still backbar it. But, youve also made sure every other class has access to spammable aoe, self buff aoe, gap closers, even beam and heavy ticks pull you out because they deal damage after you cloak. And terrible defense, yes cloak we have cloak. So if it is no longer back bar able, then why is clever alchemist not given the same treatment? Youve taken so much away from Magblades already, why take one of the only good back bar damage sets? Even with this the damage is still not as high as any other mag calss add in the face that all our skills can be dodge rolled because they have massive cues with terrible animations. "These buffs are no longer retained if you unequip the number of pieces required to activate them:ĭoes this mean you can no longer back bar stygian? Or is this a reference to people buffing it and then taking it off with alpha gear? Im not sure because youve lumped it in with Balorgh which would clearly need to be unequipped to lose the bonus.
