Xx_wolverine_ 809 I don’t even use this set. My point was that ZOS not only caters to crybabies, now they’re openly admitting to the public that they do so. I’m sick of PvP crybabies nerfing sets for PVE players. If ZOS wants to listen to their community, they could start by caring a little more for half their community. Every patch PVE players get shafted by nerfs, and it’s always the same thing... some PvP crybaby didn’t like the fact that it took them an extra 3 seconds to kill somebody.

The set is very strong but I never agree with completely destroying a set and making it obsolete they did the same thing with Veiled Heritance that set is no completely useless
Its the strongest defensive buff in the game for literally just taking damage for the weakest debuff in the game with insane uptime. It was beyond op especially used with shield stackers. Of course it was going to get nerfed eventually. The major defile was enough imo but w/e
I love your videos man, I just want to point something out - the earthgore nerf was put into play BEFORE earthgore was put into the gold vendor. I remember vividly, I was super pissed.
LMAO of course its a stamplar gameplay using it, templars get so much fuckiing healing already and can purge every single debuff, and with stuff like the transmutation set magplars get a lot of crit mitgation. Have you ever tried to burn through a vampire magplar using this set? its fucking though, once you reach execute range you cant burst them fast enough because they keep on healing and healing despite the minor defile, heck, single target healing is getting so good a lot of people running this set aren't even worried. This set lets squishy targets become absolute tanks when they shouldnt and im glad this set is getting nerfed. IMO there should be something like a triangle in eso: Damage, Heals, and Toughness, players should only be able to use two of those three while giving up on the third. Either damage and heals, damage and toughness or toughness and heals, BUT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW stuff like glass canon builds are near imposible, you need to be tanky enough to play for a lenghty period of time, if you cant burst an enemy down in the first minute you're doomed, and thats most of the cases, bursts are completely negated by sets like this. Bursts, the fucking point of most pvp builds.
Earthgore and pirate have not been in the game for 5 years first off. Your point of “if people complain about bloodspawn will they nerf it?” The set has been in forever and isn’t complained about and hence doesn’t get nerfed because it’s a fine set... Earthgore and pirate are the most gamebreaking monster sets in the game period when it comes to pvp and if anyone denies that then they never play the game. These sets were complained about because they literally make people immortal? Pirate isn’t used in pve unless someone’s using a roleplay build and earthgore is still good in pve so what did these changes actually effect? They affected the sets were they were broken the most and adjusted accordingly. ZOS for years did not listen to the players and thus gave a broken game. Anyone complaining about these changes or complaining about ZOS actually listening to players on these issues literally doesn’t play this game and shouldn’t have a voice on it. ZOS has made bad decisions off of players but if this is the example people chose to use for that then you’ve already made a terrible argument
Nesquik Kid Exactly. Every good pvper knows the Bullshit sets that clearly overperform from the others. Its the asshats who just want to be OP with near unkillable builds while still having massive amounts of damage that complain about having to sacrifice in a build so they cant god mode. Its pretty hilarious actually, when actual good balancing happens all the toxic players come crawling out after their years of safety using bs sets 😂
I think there is one camp that *is* right. ZoS repeatedly, since the beginning has had a horrible track record of NOT consistently making gradual minute tweaks to items sets and mechanics. Of making things *actually* balanced. People cry about sets, ZoS makes a change and it simply changes the problem from one to another. Nerfs one thing, then makes another OP. Everybody, and I mean -everybody- knows how and what ZoS will do to overpowered sets/mechanics and underpowered ones. They either nerf it to the ground, or buff it to something god mode. Everybody knows it happens and it’s always predicted before patches. I bet the people who propose these changes have never in their life made more than 25,000 AP in Cyrodiil :/ Probably all 18yo interns from WoW or something :/ The simply needed to increase the cool down on Pirate skeleton :( That’s it! Hopefully they’ll change their mind...
Dude major protection is the issue.. 30% reduced damage is broken period. They need to keep it permafrost inclusive just like how major vulnerability (30% increased damage taken) is inclusive to the necromancer
They should fix the lag and other performance bugs. Its funny as hell but the Sench Raht in Sunspire jump and hang in mid air for 5 or more second..... Fix the bugs first before trying to adhere to people complaining about a sets effect
console has had insane frame rate issues since elsweyr, like 5 fps sometimes, lol. But hey lets rework and change the entire games skills and gear, thats priority.
Education time for all of you pvp players. PVE stands for "player vs environment", so if a pve encounters a problem while playing then it has something to do with the environment, aka THE GAME ITSELF!! That is a legitimate complaint because it is game breaking and/or causing issues in the world itself. So for all of you pvp players trying to turn this back around on us pve players by saying "well pve players whine and bitch about stuff too", no we don't!!! Our "whining and bitching" is about the many bugs, glitches, lag, loading screens of eternity, etc, basically stuff wrong with game world itself, not for our lack of being able to kill stuff! All of you pvpers need to realize that when you whine and bitch to Zos and get stuff nerfed IT EFFECTS US PVE PLAYERS AS WELL!!! You would be surprised how 1 skill and/or set can bring a whole build together and when that skill or set gets nerfed it fucks up the whole build for that person and then they have to try and salvage the situation. I cannot count the number of times this has happened to me because of pvpers whining to Zos and getting stuff nerfed and I for one am sick and damn tired of it! A bunch of salty ass pvp players who get killed a few times and immediately start screaming "Overpowered", "Overpowered"! Running around all day long just killing ppl, why don't you all just go play cod or fortnite with all the other little kids so Zos can put down the nerf hammer and actually focus on fixing the game-breaking stuff like the lag that gets you killed in the middle of combat or the infinite loading screens, or the laundry list of bugs that exist in game to this day. HOW ABOUT THAT!! But no let's make sure that you guys can run around all day killing ppl, that's top priority #1!
I dont think it was overnerfed bcz one Always get mayor defile from other player debuff... so in a real combat you're already have to deal with mayor defile, using this set or not
Part of the reason pirate skeleton needed the major defile is because of the healing buffs next patch. You can’t have people running around with major protection and minor defile when their vigor/rapid regen will have a 40k tooltip
I agree with the changes. And i dont think its unusable now. Major protection is too strong and the draw backs were weak. I think only changing it to major defile would be enough.
This is why I’ve been using a non proc set since the viper days, I just run 3 leki 3 agil 1 kena 5 sprigs. Stamblade, and I fuck people up. Can push 4.5k with continuous.
Zenimax seems to be using their sledge hammer for making balance changes. Either for buffs (like Onslaught) and for nerfs (WW for example). With this rate of changes they are making, ZOS should use some small incremental nerfs / buffs using "surgical style" changes, instead of sledge hammer ones. Take a look at WW changes for example. Pack Leader will be unplayable next patch. Not only in PvP, but in ANY type of content. PvE, PvP, Solo, Group, normal, vet, overland - pretty much everywhere. We have to wait till Monday to see week 3 PTS notes. This is the last hope for me. I did not played cyro PvP or BGs with it. Mostly I played solo with WW. I have put a lot of time to craft dedicated WW build, that will work with my hybrid play-style. I have farmed a lot of gear (200+ dungeons runs) and put a lot of recurses, time and effort to make this build work. Now it is all going to be wasted, simply because of below lvl 50 BGs. As for the Pirate Skeleton (I was not using that tbh, as it simply does not fit my play-style), it is the same story as with WW changes. Some nerfs were more or less justified, but they went for overkill. It seems, just to make sure no one will use it. And it is a shame. As long as they will keep using "huge nerfs" balancing style, they will never achieve a balance.
I think the biggest problem that nerfed this set was the damage mitigation patched into nightblade skills, when stacked with Pirate Skele you could get massive damage mitigation (I know it's diminishing but you could still be really close to invincible. I'm not a fan of the change, it seems like it's only OP when paired with Nightblade. Just my opinion.
Personally I’m fine with it, I used it when there was major defile on tons of abilities, (not so much anymore) most likely especially in BG or Small group PvP someone already had Major defile placed on me. Not a big deal.
This is what happened in Destiny. PvPers whine any time they don't feel like a god, and the developers cave to the complaints in an effort to protect the bottom line.
When i started playing pvp i was so bad and i complained others class, sets almost evertime when i die but then i put time to learn others class/skills and my own class and learn mechanic and how to counter others players playstyle and take advantage of terrain and lot more and now i'm doing great so stop complaining on sets or class just learn how to play the game.
Exactly a guy name The-- Darkest_One called me a hacker cause he cant survive my jabs like dude get good at the game you not gonna just put on a random set thinking your gonna live through anything
Pirate skeleton was broken. Along with any other set that hands out major protection like its candy. That monster set gave people the ability to slap on full damage sets, hit like a truck, and be tankier than a DK with capped out resistances. While the tankier build has to sacrifice damage, the dude running pirate skeleton doesn’t and the toggle recap damage numbers will be the same on both types even though pirate skeleton dude is hitting 20k burst damage lol
I'll never understand the "everything is a carry" crowd. At the moment, someone on the forum is trying to nerf Slimecraw. (Had the link, but won't post my comment with a link) Do not understand players. What's the goal...just fighting with no gear, fist to fist?
Pretty much. There are already posts asking to nerf Bloodspawn as well. I guess people just want generic bonuses on monster sets? Future Bonuses: Selenes/Bloodspawn gives 2000 stamina, Illambris/Grothdar give 2000 magicka, Velidreth gives 200 weapon damage, Kena gives 200 Spell Damage... 😩
@@HackTheMinotaur proc sets are bad when u have to fight the enemy armor instead of the enemy itself. Pirate was fine for now imo but lets take a look at zaan. To counter zaan u have to move away. So u need to play in a certain way to counter something that the enemy play didnt even do, his gear did, for free! And if u dobt move u take this massive damage. And what if u cant move? What if he stuns u at the same time zaan procs? By the time u broke free and moved away from the guy u already took a massive damage. Sets like this, where u have to counterplay something that the other player didnt even casted that need to be nerfed, better yet, banned from pvp. Today i can simply slot a whole bunch of proc sets and let them do the work while i afk.
I believe that it deserved a serious nerf. With major protection on it's the equalivant of 19,800 resistances from all sources (this value varies and is likely less unless you have 0 resistances. Depending on how much resistance you have due to multiplicitive staking than additive percentage's. Also worth noting that you can't reduce protection's 'resistance' as it's not programmed as resistance.) But...nerfing in adding major defile makes it to where you healing by tooltip is reduced by 65% in total. Pvp reduce healing 50% + Major defile 30% if added multiplictively gives that. NOW with minor defile that number is 72.5% healing.
As someone who runs a glass cannon burst build in pvp im all for my targets being even easier to kill 😉 Shit i might even be able to add even more dmg and drop recov lol
@Allworknoplay Money You on PC? Im same name as here, keep a look out for me and we will see......i might not recognise you, because im too busy letting the bodies hit the floor, and dont have time to stop to tbag like a little bitch
yeah whats with tbaggers? are u that excited u killed something u have to make a scene? if I stopped to bag my kills I would never get anything done lol
I'll say this here and now, I'll say this forever to come, and I said this for the entire 1st year of ESO (I even got banned from the Forums for calling out ZoS's lies): Lazy ass Devs need to stop nerfing Gear/Abilities/Passives just because people bitch about it in a PvP setting. What they NEED to do is have said Gear/Ability/Passive CHANGE it's operation while in a PvP setting so that it remains normalized in PvE content.
The problem really is that people fight one or two experienced players who both happen to be wearing the same set and that person assumes that said set is the problem, when in reality it is just bc the player does have more experience in pvp. I’m new-ish to pvp and pirate skeleton was nice but it was by no means overpowered. It does synergies nicely with other tanky sets or tanky builds but pirate skeleton by itself is definitely not that strong.
Well if it gives you major defile, then no one can put major defile on you. As it is now you can get hit with major defile while having minor defile active so...I dunno I have to see it in action
I saw this coming. This set was way too strong in conjunction with how much shields mag toons could stack. Harness+healing ward or hardened ward made light armor bonuses way too strong. The major defile was a stupid add on because stam classes weren’t the ones abusing this. Also I think the cooldown might be a little much. I guess to balance this I would have made major and minor protections not interact with shields and this set would have been fine.
First of all I don't think that any developer would take the decision to do anything just because the people ask for it, specially when is a balance issue. Second I see a Nerf only in the aspect how long and how much often this set procs. If you read any other sets description you will see they have a small % of proc chance except damage monster sets. From the other side this is a set now that will not be up too much all the time but when it does it will be stronger and that is what a monster set is. It has to be something that procs in some crucial point for an extra help and not something that is buffing you almost all the time. I think the people that is upset about this changes are those who exactly were abusing of this set and somehow they are trying to share their upset keepings the manners, but actually they are crying like baby's because they can not be over power anymore. If it took 5 years to Nerf is because the Time came, like it happened to many other things where people always again and again cried and complain...
I think for most people using pirate skelly is what not too OP. It was stronger than average and your smarter players liked to use it on some builds. But, there were a few people who became invincible when dawning it for whatever reason. And, they were hitting like trucks... kinda like our friend Hack here in the above video. by the way, Hack, please re-post the above build video. I need a new stamplar build.
i ran one piece pirate a nd balorg on m stam sorc but i mean its werid pirate was a set that mag used im hoping zos does not nerf blood spawn and troll king
This is a result of how the changes to shields a while back made this set overperform on cheesiest class in the game. So once again medium armor builds get screwed because ZOS refuses to fix the real problem. ..shield stacking scrub buckets.
No, major protection is to powerful of a buff period to be on a monster set. It needed to be nerfed into the dirt. Pvp will be better without this set. We need more nerfs to all this mitigation/heals/ resistance meta.
This set was over performing by alot. Every class was wearing it because of how strong it was. If you can't see that then I don't know what else to say. It definitely needed the nerf
They simply made the set completely useless now. I mean what's the point of getting a 30% damage reduction if you also get a 30% healing reduction? So if I get this right, when I'll try to survive under pressure and heal myself the damage reduction buff will be offset by the healing reduction debuff and I will be getting exactly what bonus??? I guess they thought this thoroughly before making the change...
Easy solution: choose group of players in highest PvP MMR with highest skill, choose players with best PvE endgame and allow only them! To ask for changes. It is not just the game, this happens all around the world. When people are happy with something, they say nothing. So when a few is unhappy .. that "few" actually becomes majority, because they are the only ones crying about it. Thus ... Their opinions should not matter and simply be controlled by superior players with proper thought on the matter.
I don’t really care if they nerf stuff. If the idea is to change up the meta, people will just use the next bis. I think they should try and bring other sets up to that tier unless they thought that set was over preforming.
I’ve been telling y’all that it’s the newbies and the sore losers who suck at the game so much that they take the time to write complaints on certain things lmao shit really does get annoying bruh. Zos doesn’t listen to the vets at all and I’m just tired of being tired man...
I agree with u yh it’s just they keep nerfing sets and make other sets overpower then nerf them and cheng other sets to be overpowered again it’s like they can’t balance the game between Pvp and pve and they slowly killing both
if you wanna be tanky just use bloodspawn, its way better pirate skeleton sucks, i never used it. if bloodspawn gets nerfed then the salt tears will come
Its strong set but they went wrong way about it. I have it but dont use it. It's almost of nitch build set, like zaan is or kena. What I noticed is duration on it. U think all it needed it lower duration msybe longer CD, maybe longer
If ZOS really wanted to fix something, and seem content on not fixing lag, why don't they try to fix the zerg problem? It's getting ridicilous now. The other night I hid inside the keep after DC zerged through and I counted 27 on the flags. That's right, twenty freaking seven. All factions do it. Mine included. And it needs to stop. Can't ZOS put a cap on the number of players they can be in the vicinity of a keep/area that already has like 10 players in it? I know that solution won't stop some people from being outnumbered still, but damn, a rag tag bunch of 6-8 could put up a fight at least, lol.
I loved this game so much, it's bad to see how developers are destroying it. 😔 There were constant changes since I play it but since Nerfmire they went crazy. It is hard to keep up with all the changes, they nerfed food, races, skills, sets. I think I slowly reach the point to stop it completely. I don't want to rebuild all my characters and relearn game mechs in every three months, it is more rewarding to learn playing something new. Actually since Elsweyr all my friends - we kept each other in the game inthe last 2 years - started to play something else and log in to ESO only to do the daily writs. I think I give ZOS a last chance to settle down, but if they keep up destroying the game I will leave it until the year's end.
I feel like he’s never use molag Kena set cause that shit burn through my Magicka like literally by the time i went through one rotation i was out of Magicka which is fair given the spell damage increase, which they are balancing pirate skeleton out your getting major protect 30% damage reduction in exchange for minor defile which depending on your skills or sets you’re running you can just remove for little cost so 🤷🏻♂️
They just need to change dark deal to no longer give stamina up front. And nerf bloodspawn armor buff and I'm probably done for awhile. The one thing that breaks my heart is the cast time on ulti. Their slowing down gameplay. Its becoming black desert scrolls online. I love eso fast gameplay. Slowing down gameplay to compensate for low quality server is a bad move imo.
Don’t forget the earthgore was nerfed twice! The first iteration healed over 3-4 seconds I believe like aoe burst heal then they extended duration on it so it wouldn’t be so bursty now they took away the aoe aspect and made it function like a purge! The set is garbage now just like pirate skeleton! On a side note if you compare two off set monster sets like chudan/skele mix its just as strong as the pirate skeleton set by itself imo.
all these people crying that pvp got the set nerfed... WHO TF WEARS THIS IN PVE? Earthgore nerf was understandably frustrating for pve healers. But pirate skeleton? if you're a tank... maybe but really who wears this in pve
Necr0fab I use it on many of my PvP toons and it helps a crap ton for survival. Also if it wasn’t being abused in PVP it wouldn’t be nerfed. Who would be complaining “this set helps me tank to well!”.
also gonna say that even the Earthgore nerf was over top. decrease heal or add more cooldown but making it one person? Its not PVP players who are ruining your pve experience. its ZOS
Bro it's ridiculous, I've been using PS for a minute now and all of a sudden someone complains and now it's not even gonna be used anymore. Troll king is so much worse then PS and is usually banned in duels. Before we know it we will just be wearing the shoulders for bonuses because everything is nerfed to extinction. I say do it then, take out the proc bonuses from all monster sets and call it good.
Major protection is over powered for sure, especially on a 2 piece set. The problem is countering the buff itself. I think zos should have balanced the counter to the buff rather than nerfing the set to oblivion. This is just lazy game development but totally on par with how zos balances things.
J P they could have made the buff reduced by battle spirit too. Maybe 15-20% damage reduction instead of 30. That way PVE would not be affected, and the buff would not be as strong for PVP. This is why permafrost is still one the best PVP ultimates in the game
Gold vendor should never of existed and I have monster sets and unfinished monster sets.... I still don't use gold vendor and I'm glad I didn't waste my AP on it either because of this patch nerf on Pirate. S SET. And now that the new key system is in place for undaunted it will be the ideal rout now to gain Monster sets without achieving them so easily for everyone to access at on time is like gold vendor is a foolish idea.
Earthgore nerf was correct. Set was game breakingly good at zerg pvp. Boht earthgore and pirate are killed tho. Thats not ok. Nerfing should not be removing a set from game.
Here’s a liberal approach to pvp. Everyone enters cyrodiil in a bathrobe. You pick a generic mag dps, stam dps, healer or tank set from the rack. You remove all cp because lower cp players feel left out when it comes to the veterans who have put in the time to get cp. then ap is shared throughout the whole zone. If you earn ap, it is now divided to everyone who is zoned in whether they helped you take the resources/keeps or not.
I agree. I think that both the nerf, and the reason for doing it are wrong. A lesser nerf would have been fair. This happens with so many games though, I was a Destiny 1 player, and the endless nerfing got tiresome and I quit playing it. Games should be fun, not political, with elites controlling other players enjoyment by endlessly whining to ZOS or whoever. Also, they should have separated PVP and PVE sets from the beginning; I hardly play PVP, but my sets get nerfed because of it. Nerfing will kill live service gaming in the end. But that's people for ya. :(
I play with trash gear and still finish first or second it doesnt matter, i never complain once i come back with the vengeance or die trying. People crying about those trash gear, you not worthy enough for the trash gear so let alone good set.
The WoW veterans that flee that sinking ship, that they sunk, come to ESO the more shit like this you’re going to see. Instead of trying to build around the problem and overcome a challenge with skill and your own creative build, REEEE as loud as you can and make the devs ruin the game one piece at a time until it’s just repeating WoW history. Dweeejons suck and should stop changing the game cause they suck or they’re too lazy. If the devs can do anything to stop these bastards it’s create two things: 1. Rankings. You only play with people in your brackets based on skill level and gearscore. 2. Gear score. Create a gearscore system based on the gear you’re wearing and make it so pvp locks your set and doesn’t let you change gear until you’ve completed the match or left cyrodil and matches you with players within your bracket for suitable matches. Fuck the whiners. Devs need to create a digital wall and put the whiners and illiterates on the outside of that wall. They’re ruining the game. Just like they did to WoW.
Zos has a tendency to over nerf things and make them completely useless sometimes. the set was strong but I wouldn't say it was a set that was making me rage like the old tremorscale viper days. It wasn't that bad and it's concerning their only reasoning was because players were bitching about it.
Don’t tell anyone what you’re wearing if you want to keep it usable. Zos caters to crybabies

Dude major protection is the issue.. 30% reduced damage is broken period. They need to keep it permafrost inclusive just like how major vulnerability (30% increased damage taken) is inclusive to the necromancer
They should fix the lag and other performance bugs. Its funny as hell but the Sench Raht in Sunspire jump and hang in mid air for 5 or more second..... Fix the bugs first before trying to adhere to people complaining about a sets effect
console has had insane frame rate issues since elsweyr, like 5 fps sometimes, lol. But hey lets rework and change the entire games skills and gear, thats priority.
Education time for all of you pvp players.
PVE stands for "player vs environment", so if a pve encounters a problem while playing then it has something to do with the environment, aka THE GAME ITSELF!! That is a legitimate complaint because it is game breaking and/or causing issues in the world itself. So for all of you pvp players trying to turn this back around on us pve players by saying "well pve players whine and bitch about stuff too", no we don't!!! Our "whining and bitching" is about the many bugs, glitches, lag, loading screens of eternity, etc, basically stuff wrong with game world itself, not for our lack of being able to kill stuff!
All of you pvpers need to realize that when you whine and bitch to Zos and get stuff nerfed IT EFFECTS US PVE PLAYERS AS WELL!!! You would be surprised how 1 skill and/or set can bring a whole build together and when that skill or set gets nerfed it fucks up the whole build for that person and then they have to try and salvage the situation. I cannot count the number of times this has happened to me because of pvpers whining to Zos and getting stuff nerfed and I for one am sick and damn tired of it!
A bunch of salty ass pvp players who get killed a few times and immediately start screaming "Overpowered", "Overpowered"! Running around all day long just killing ppl, why don't you all just go play cod or fortnite with all the other little kids so Zos can put down the nerf hammer and actually focus on fixing the game-breaking stuff like the lag that gets you killed in the middle of combat or the infinite loading screens, or the laundry list of bugs that exist in game to this day. HOW ABOUT THAT!! But no let's make sure that you guys can run around all day killing ppl, that's top priority #1!
lmao u cringe
I dont think it was overnerfed bcz one Always get mayor defile from other player debuff... so in a real combat you're already have to deal with mayor defile, using this set or not
They need to fix all fkng bugs first I’m tired of being killed by load screens. after they fix that they can do whatever the fkng want
Seventh Legion went up in the golden and got nerfed too. There is definitely something to what you’re speaking on here Hack
billy alen 7th legieon is stronger now. 100% uptimes obviously you’re fuckin dumb.
I agree with the comment above
I think the one pc needed changing, still going to be good next patch,
I think major protection needs the nerf before abilities and sets. That seems to be the main underlying relationship that needs to change.
Part of the reason pirate skeleton needed the major defile is because of the healing buffs next patch. You can’t have people running around with major protection and minor defile when their vigor/rapid regen will have a 40k tooltip
I'd say 30k + or - 3k on average
Pirate skeleton has only been in the game for 3 years. One tamriel patch was its introduction
One of the main reasons why I always play unique builds that don’t use your everyday meta sets
I agree with the changes. And i dont think its unusable now. Major protection is too strong and the draw backs were weak. I think only changing it to major defile would be enough.
Mark my words it’s only a matter of time before they nerf bloodspawn and/or troll king
They already did nerf Bloodspawn a while ago, remember? Brought the 15 ult down to 14 😂
This is why I’ve been using a non proc set since the viper days, I just run 3 leki 3 agil 1 kena 5 sprigs. Stamblade, and I fuck people up. Can push 4.5k with continuous.
Zenimax seems to be using their sledge hammer for making balance changes. Either for buffs (like Onslaught) and for nerfs (WW for example). With this rate of changes they are making, ZOS should use some small incremental nerfs / buffs using "surgical style" changes, instead of sledge hammer ones.
Take a look at WW changes for example. Pack Leader will be unplayable next patch. Not only in PvP, but in ANY type of content. PvE, PvP, Solo, Group, normal, vet, overland - pretty much everywhere. We have to wait till Monday to see week 3 PTS notes. This is the last hope for me. I did not played cyro PvP or BGs with it. Mostly I played solo with WW. I have put a lot of time to craft dedicated WW build, that will work with my hybrid play-style. I have farmed a lot of gear (200+ dungeons runs) and put a lot of recurses, time and effort to make this build work. Now it is all going to be wasted, simply because of below lvl 50 BGs.
As for the Pirate Skeleton (I was not using that tbh, as it simply does not fit my play-style), it is the same story as with WW changes. Some nerfs were more or less justified, but they went for overkill. It seems, just to make sure no one will use it. And it is a shame. As long as they will keep using "huge nerfs" balancing style, they will never achieve a balance.
Just use the other morph lol that’s what I’m doing
Mark my words, next one will be Bloodspawn or troll king :-( they are killing off all defencive sets one by one.
Bc they keep nerfing sets Bc pvp player use them as dps sets
btw, catch me up dude..did u make a vid about that toon u r running here? If so I wanna go see it.
6Beers&1Waitress it’ll be uploaded this week 👍
@@HackTheMinotaur coolio.
I will be using the maelstrom 2H more with the new change to crit rush and double down on the dot
With masters bow
I think the biggest problem that nerfed this set was the damage mitigation patched into nightblade skills, when stacked with Pirate Skele you could get massive damage mitigation (I know it's diminishing but you could still be really close to invincible. I'm not a fan of the change, it seems like it's only OP when paired with Nightblade. Just my opinion.
Liking the intro and outro.
Personally I’m fine with it, I used it when there was major defile on tons of abilities, (not so much anymore) most likely especially in BG or Small group PvP someone already had Major defile placed on me. Not a big deal.
Also with the changes to vigor and mutagen, BRP sets, vitality potions, ect - just keep your HoTs up.
What's "it's" value now that major / minor (de)buffs from 30% to 10%?
This is what happened in Destiny. PvPers whine any time they don't feel like a god, and the developers cave to the complaints in an effort to protect the bottom line.
When i started playing pvp i was so bad and i complained others class, sets almost evertime when i die but then i put time to learn others class/skills and my own class and learn mechanic and how to counter others players playstyle and take advantage of terrain and lot more and now i'm doing great so stop complaining on sets or class just learn how to play the game.
Wtf did u lean to play the game, fuck that, just bitch it's easyer lol
Exactly a guy name The-- Darkest_One called me a hacker cause he cant survive my jabs like dude get good at the game you not gonna just put on a random set thinking your gonna live through anything
Pirate skeleton was broken. Along with any other set that hands out major protection like its candy.
That monster set gave people the ability to slap on full damage sets, hit like a truck, and be tankier than a DK with capped out resistances.
While the tankier build has to sacrifice damage, the dude running pirate skeleton doesn’t and the toggle recap damage numbers will be the same on both types even though pirate skeleton dude is hitting 20k burst damage lol
they should just nerf major protection or give us more ways to get major vulnerability, if 2 remotely good players fight no1 will die in 5+min
I'll never understand the "everything is a carry" crowd. At the moment, someone on the forum is trying to nerf Slimecraw.
(Had the link, but won't post my comment with a link)
Do not understand players. What's the goal...just fighting with no gear, fist to fist?
Pretty much. There are already posts asking to nerf Bloodspawn as well. I guess people just want generic bonuses on monster sets? Future Bonuses: Selenes/Bloodspawn gives 2000 stamina, Illambris/Grothdar give 2000 magicka, Velidreth gives 200 weapon damage, Kena gives 200 Spell Damage... 😩
@@HackTheMinotaur proc sets are bad when u have to fight the enemy armor instead of the enemy itself. Pirate was fine for now imo but lets take a look at zaan. To counter zaan u have to move away. So u need to play in a certain way to counter something that the enemy play didnt even do, his gear did, for free! And if u dobt move u take this massive damage. And what if u cant move? What if he stuns u at the same time zaan procs? By the time u broke free and moved away from the guy u already took a massive damage. Sets like this, where u have to counterplay something that the other player didnt even casted that need to be nerfed, better yet, banned from pvp. Today i can simply slot a whole bunch of proc sets and let them do the work while i afk.
Flávio Romano pirate is broken af on live you dumb fuck. How is it not broken. The fix isnt just, but its definitely broken in live.
Nostrabar my hybrid sorc will just streak once and im out of zaan 🤣
@@HackTheMinotaur Do you have a build video for that stamplar? Thanks.
I believe that it deserved a serious nerf. With major protection on it's the equalivant of 19,800 resistances from all sources (this value varies and is likely less unless you have 0 resistances. Depending on how much resistance you have due to multiplicitive staking than additive percentage's. Also worth noting that you can't reduce protection's 'resistance' as it's not programmed as resistance.)
But...nerfing in adding major defile makes it to where you healing by tooltip is reduced by 65% in total.
Pvp reduce healing 50% + Major defile 30% if added multiplictively gives that. NOW with minor defile that number is 72.5% healing.
Keep in mind that single target healing is buffed heavily next patch, so the major defile may be needed
@@tragiceso5121 Good point. Single target healing was seriously buff like vigor & entrophy.
As someone who runs a glass cannon burst build in pvp im all for my targets being even easier to kill 😉
Shit i might even be able to add even more dmg and drop recov lol
@Allworknoplay Money You on PC? Im same name as here, keep a look out for me and we will see......i might not recognise you, because im too busy letting the bodies hit the floor, and dont have time to stop to tbag like a little bitch
yeah whats with tbaggers? are u that excited u killed something u have to make a scene? if I stopped to bag my kills I would never get anything done lol
I'll say this here and now, I'll say this forever to come, and I said this for the entire 1st year of ESO (I even got banned from the Forums for calling out ZoS's lies): Lazy ass Devs need to stop nerfing Gear/Abilities/Passives just because people bitch about it in a PvP setting. What they NEED to do is have said Gear/Ability/Passive CHANGE it's operation while in a PvP setting so that it remains normalized in PvE content.
useless set, pvp is cancer gets everything nerfed cause people can't think for themselves out of a paper bag
OSMLanZ theorycrafting doesn’t take skill and 90% of the time ends up being weaker than the meta, this isn’t the fault of players
The problem really is that people fight one or two experienced players who both happen to be wearing the same set and that person assumes that said set is the problem, when in reality it is just bc the player does have more experience in pvp. I’m new-ish to pvp and pirate skeleton was nice but it was by no means overpowered. It does synergies nicely with other tanky sets or tanky builds but pirate skeleton by itself is definitely not that strong.
Well if it gives you major defile, then no one can put major defile on you. As it is now you can get hit with major defile while having minor defile active so...I dunno I have to see it in action
It was easy to target earthgore and Pirate Skeleton because the animations are easy to pick out.
I saw this coming. This set was way too strong in conjunction with how much shields mag toons could stack. Harness+healing ward or hardened ward made light armor bonuses way too strong. The major defile was a stupid add on because stam classes weren’t the ones abusing this. Also I think the cooldown might be a little much. I guess to balance this I would have made major and minor protections not interact with shields and this set would have been fine.
First of all I don't think that any developer would take the decision to do anything just because the people ask for it, specially when is a balance issue. Second I see a Nerf only in the aspect how long and how much often this set procs. If you read any other sets description you will see they have a small % of proc chance except damage monster sets. From the other side this is a set now that will not be up too much all the time but when it does it will be stronger and that is what a monster set is. It has to be something that procs in some crucial point for an extra help and not something that is buffing you almost all the time. I think the people that is upset about this changes are those who exactly were abusing of this set and somehow they are trying to share their upset keepings the manners, but actually they are crying like baby's because they can not be over power anymore. If it took 5 years to Nerf is because the Time came, like it happened to many other things where people always again and again cried and complain...
Are you surprised? You said in an earlier video monster sets were getting hit.
the major defile is a step too far, I agree with the increase cooldown etc.
still terrifying on argonian ignoring the major defile
I’m happy I’m glad when they killed the meta I hate seeing paste and copy builds xD
#BuffsNotNerfs
Any idea of a good replacement for this monster set
I think for most people using pirate skelly is what not too OP. It was stronger than average and your smarter players liked to use it on some builds. But, there were a few people who became invincible when dawning it for whatever reason. And, they were hitting like trucks... kinda like our friend Hack here in the above video. by the way, Hack, please re-post the above build video. I need a new stamplar build.
No reason to nerf a set that wasn’t completely effective on every build. This was good on certain types of builds. Now it’s a useless 2 piece.
Starving Artist it was op on all builds.
i ran one piece pirate a nd balorg on m stam sorc but i mean its werid pirate was a set that mag used im hoping zos does not nerf blood spawn and troll king
This is a result of how the changes to shields a while back made this set overperform on cheesiest class in the game. So once again medium armor builds get screwed because ZOS refuses to fix the real problem. ..shield stacking scrub buckets.
Lol lean to fight sorcs on sted of crying about it
If anything needs a nerf it's the templar class
No, major protection is to powerful of a buff period to be on a monster set. It needed to be nerfed into the dirt. Pvp will be better without this set. We need more nerfs to all this mitigation/heals/ resistance meta.
This set was over performing by alot. Every class was wearing it because of how strong it was. If you can't see that then I don't know what else to say. It definitely needed the nerf
As someone from 2 years in the future i can tell u thats how it is everything is nerfed after ppl complain
They simply made the set completely useless now. I mean what's the point of getting a 30% damage reduction if you also get a 30% healing reduction? So if I get this right, when I'll try to survive under pressure and heal myself the damage reduction buff will be offset by the healing reduction debuff and I will be getting exactly what bonus??? I guess they thought this thoroughly before making the change...
Good! I don't like Proc set in PvP, anyway. I want to fight You, not your armor.
i like that it s gone even though i used it myself
Good gameplay 👍
Easy solution: choose group of players in highest PvP MMR with highest skill, choose players with best PvE endgame and allow only them! To ask for changes. It is not just the game, this happens all around the world. When people are happy with something, they say nothing. So when a few is unhappy .. that "few" actually becomes majority, because they are the only ones crying about it. Thus ... Their opinions should not matter and simply be controlled by superior players with proper thought on the matter.
Nooooo I wanted to go get that this week. Oh, dammit. What's the use..sigh.
Any time eso nerfs a set or skill line it's always because of pvp. These things are very seldom nerfed because of pve.
A nerf was overdue. But they overnerfed it imo. They just needed to change it to a smaller uptime.
I AGREE!
I don’t really care if they nerf stuff. If the idea is to change up the meta, people will just use the next bis. I think they should try and bring other sets up to that tier unless they thought that set was over preforming.
This is why I loathe pvp. So sick of skill and gear nerfs, cause of pvp'ers crying about things being unfair.
Things get nerf when things are overused in pve as well.
I use steadfast hero on my stamden with the mag betty netch, trollking and Bp (5 med) cant touch me
I agree all damage mit need to be cut by 50% via battle spirit invluding vamp mitigation.
I’ve been telling y’all that it’s the newbies and the sore losers who suck at the game so much that they take the time to write complaints on certain things lmao shit really does get annoying bruh. Zos doesn’t listen to the vets at all and I’m just tired of being tired man...
Don’t be surprised if people start going back to maelstrom and masters weapons
I agree with u yh it’s just they keep nerfing sets and make other sets overpower then nerf them and cheng other sets to be overpowered again it’s like they can’t balance the game between Pvp and pve and they slowly killing both
Yayyy now let's look for new game..
@@RickSanchez-gg1to nahh I was leveling up a stmplar for pvp and then this U23 news poped up. Now I m just waiting what is going to happen.
Harsimran Singh read that patch notes, all of them, then theorycraft some shit. Theres so many good changed to healing that ps might be alright still.
@@RickSanchez-gg1to well yeahh maybe. thanks
if you wanna be tanky just use bloodspawn, its way better pirate skeleton sucks, i never used it. if bloodspawn gets nerfed then the salt tears will come
The changes were ok until major defile I would have still used it if it stated with minor
They defo went overboard with the nurf they also completely ignored pve with these changes.
Its strong set but they went wrong way about it. I have it but dont use it. It's almost of nitch build set, like zaan is or kena. What I noticed is duration on it. U think all it needed it lower duration msybe longer CD, maybe longer
If ZOS really wanted to fix something, and seem content on not fixing lag, why don't they try to fix the zerg problem? It's getting ridicilous now. The other night I hid inside the keep after DC zerged through and I counted 27 on the flags. That's right, twenty freaking seven. All factions do it. Mine included. And it needs to stop. Can't ZOS put a cap on the number of players they can be in the vicinity of a keep/area that already has like 10 players in it? I know that solution won't stop some people from being outnumbered still, but damn, a rag tag bunch of 6-8 could put up a fight at least, lol.
I loved this game so much, it's bad to see how developers are destroying it. 😔 There were constant changes since I play it but since Nerfmire they went crazy. It is hard to keep up with all the changes, they nerfed food, races, skills, sets. I think I slowly reach the point to stop it completely. I don't want to rebuild all my characters and relearn game mechs in every three months, it is more rewarding to learn playing something new. Actually since Elsweyr all my friends - we kept each other in the game inthe last 2 years - started to play something else and log in to ESO only to do the daily writs. I think I give ZOS a last chance to settle down, but if they keep up destroying the game I will leave it until the year's end.
PvP getting all the good gear nerfed
Why would you use Skelly for pve?
@@urieldraconis857 tank build before iron blood was a set then kept it so I could have 2 different 5 set piece and keep major protection
Uriel Draconis still use pirate skeleton on my tank
I feel like he’s never use molag Kena set cause that shit burn through my Magicka like literally by the time i went through one rotation i was out of Magicka which is fair given the spell damage increase, which they are balancing pirate skeleton out your getting major protect 30% damage reduction in exchange for minor defile which depending on your skills or sets you’re running you can just remove for little cost so 🤷🏻♂️
Everything is going to the nerf machine soon we will play only with fist .
They just need to change dark deal to no longer give stamina up front. And nerf bloodspawn armor buff and I'm probably done for awhile. The one thing that breaks my heart is the cast time on ulti. Their slowing down gameplay. Its becoming black desert scrolls online. I love eso fast gameplay. Slowing down gameplay to compensate for low quality server is a bad move imo.
I main stam sorc. If they do something like this in the future i probably will lol.
Don’t forget the earthgore was nerfed twice! The first iteration healed over 3-4 seconds I believe like aoe burst heal then they extended duration on it so it wouldn’t be so bursty now they took away the aoe aspect and made it function like a purge! The set is garbage now just like pirate skeleton! On a side note if you compare two off set monster sets like chudan/skele mix its just as strong as the pirate skeleton set by itself imo.
Eternal_Genin hahahaha are you fucked..? How is 5-6k resists equal to 30% direct mitigation to all damage... for 10 seconds, every 12 seconds...
So that's like getting hit in the face with a meatbag every 20 seconds 0_0
all these people crying that pvp got the set nerfed... WHO TF WEARS THIS IN PVE?
Earthgore nerf was understandably frustrating for pve healers. But pirate skeleton? if you're a tank... maybe but really who wears this in pve
Necr0fab I use it on many of my PvP toons and it helps a crap ton for survival. Also if it wasn’t being abused in PVP it wouldn’t be nerfed. Who would be complaining “this set helps me tank to well!”.
@@syxpaths5809 right... PVP. My point stands. I dont understand what your comment was meant to accomplish. I said who tf wears this in PVE. NOT pvp?
also gonna say that even the Earthgore nerf was over top. decrease heal or add more cooldown but making it one person? Its not PVP players who are ruining your pve experience. its ZOS
I use it on my NB tank
Bro it's ridiculous, I've been using PS for a minute now and all of a sudden someone complains and now it's not even gonna be used anymore. Troll king is so much worse then PS and is usually banned in duels. Before we know it we will just be wearing the shoulders for bonuses because everything is nerfed to extinction. I say do it then, take out the proc bonuses from all monster sets and call it good.
Major protection is over powered for sure, especially on a 2 piece set. The problem is countering the buff itself. I think zos should have balanced the counter to the buff rather than nerfing the set to oblivion. This is just lazy game development but totally on par with how zos balances things.
J P they could have made the buff reduced by battle spirit too. Maybe 15-20% damage reduction instead of 30. That way PVE would not be affected, and the buff would not be as strong for PVP. This is why permafrost is still one the best PVP ultimates in the game
@@HackTheMinotaur that would actually be a very nice fix and easy too. Sadly zos' nerf hammer only goes 0 to 100 with nothing in between.
I'm definitely not going to use this set anymore and that they have labotomized it
Gold vendor should never of existed and I have monster sets and unfinished monster sets.... I still don't use gold vendor and I'm glad I didn't waste my AP on it either because of this patch nerf on Pirate. S SET. And now that the new key system is in place for undaunted it will be the ideal rout now to gain Monster sets without achieving them so easily for everyone to access at on time is like gold vendor is a foolish idea.
Earthgore nerf was correct. Set was game breakingly good at zerg pvp.
Boht earthgore and pirate are killed tho. Thats not ok. Nerfing should not be removing a set from game.
Here’s a liberal approach to pvp. Everyone enters cyrodiil in a bathrobe. You pick a generic mag dps, stam dps, healer or tank set from the rack. You remove all cp because lower cp players feel left out when it comes to the veterans who have put in the time to get cp. then ap is shared throughout the whole zone. If you earn ap, it is now divided to everyone who is zoned in whether they helped you take the resources/keeps or not.
I agree. I think that both the nerf, and the reason for doing it are wrong. A lesser nerf would have been fair. This happens with so many games though, I was a Destiny 1 player, and the endless nerfing got tiresome and I quit playing it. Games should be fun, not political, with elites controlling other players enjoyment by endlessly whining to ZOS or whoever. Also, they should have separated PVP and PVE sets from the beginning; I hardly play PVP, but my sets get nerfed because of it. Nerfing will kill live service gaming in the end. But that's people for ya. :(
Endless Destiny Nerfs, Bad design on the end game side. And worse rng then eso made me quit destiny
I play with trash gear and still finish first or second it doesnt matter, i never complain once i come back with the vengeance or die trying. People crying about those trash gear, you not worthy enough for the trash gear so let alone good set.
The WoW veterans that flee that sinking ship, that they sunk, come to ESO the more shit like this you’re going to see. Instead of trying to build around the problem and overcome a challenge with skill and your own creative build, REEEE as loud as you can and make the devs ruin the game one piece at a time until it’s just repeating WoW history. Dweeejons suck and should stop changing the game cause they suck or they’re too lazy. If the devs can do anything to stop these bastards it’s create two things: 1. Rankings. You only play with people in your brackets based on skill level and gearscore.
2. Gear score. Create a gearscore system based on the gear you’re wearing and make it so pvp locks your set and doesn’t let you change gear until you’ve completed the match or left cyrodil and matches you with players within your bracket for suitable matches. Fuck the whiners. Devs need to create a digital wall and put the whiners and illiterates on the outside of that wall. They’re ruining the game. Just like they did to WoW.
Zos has a tendency to over nerf things and make them completely useless sometimes. the set was strong but I wouldn't say it was a set that was making me rage like the old tremorscale viper days. It wasn't that bad and it's concerning their only reasoning was because players were bitching about it.
