Azureblight goes BOOM for the LAST TIME! - ESO Update 44
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ธ.ค. 2024
- They finally did it! The big booms we all love and enjoy have been SLEDGEHAMMER nerfed to the ground for PVP! Azureblight in PVP is technically (for players) ABSOLUTELY USELESS now!
In PVE they have altered it for the sake of balance, and while a little sad about it, it makes sense that the set shines where it SHOULD and not where it should NOT, but in PVP it is DEAD!

ZOS is killing their game and wondering why player count drops. Lag, DCs, no pvp support or changes, adding things for niche groups of people, not to mention event fatigue and extreme FOMO. Sickening loot crate structure. Shame.
The lag and DC is what bothers me. Trying to get back into cyrodiil and losing all that work when it's crowded pisses me off royally.
This set caused the lag. If anything they are fixing it.
Imagine thinking "event fatigue" is even an actual word with a meaning😂 so that's pretty great. Also they add and change things for pvp every patch since literally always, I have no issues with lag and I have a very not good setup so maybe upgrade your crap? Also whine some more I need more humor 😂
@@matthewsanders1154 in fact necro souls aren't working at all. Been working with them for 2 months trying to get help. But please do tell us it's not ZOS.
Only reason why it got changed is the ball groups that remain supreme in pvp were actually getting killed cried so hard to the devs for this to get nerfed.
@@Knight-of-Gnisis yep. sucks. Incoming ball group meta.
100% truth
The fact that they mention Plaguebreak in the same paragraph, clearly identifies this nerf as nothing to do with PVE. A few PVP ball gruops complained they could no longer wipe the map against this set, and the Devs jump to attention and set them on the path again. Classic.
^ this!!
HATE IT. What did they mean, there is no counter? BALL GROUPS are the counter and they are everywhere in Cyrodiil. They rule Cyrodiil and AB is the counter to BG's (which NEED countering). This is an awful change. Absolutely HATE IT.
So in PVE we've totally lost PlagueBreak first, and now almost completely lost Azureblight. What a waste of gold that was invested into those two sets. Such a shame.
ZOS thx . I just farmed the Set after years. Wanted it since the warden tank build but never got around to farm it . I guess I can trash the idea now.
Whenever they decide to nerf runecarver I think I am done with the game Ngl, just finished farming that and azureblight during the undaunted event and tbh this is one of the main reasons I don't ever try farming anything néw or good cuz they just nerf it by the time I can use it- this is just bad ngl.
@@biaseagleIII they won’t nerf runecarver, it’s nowhere near meta
To be fair azure was strong for a year,
@Vlex2raw so was many other sets after a year, just the pattern of repetition that has gotten old. Yet sets since launch that are still powerful get to remain and not newer sets in harder to do content? Not saying it's a challenge to get but it's a dlc dungeon like let's be real here they should be good regardless
@XxPLoSiVeZ granted that hasn't stopped them from even touching off meta sets before or under preforming abilities, very low chances yet it's not 0% yk?
@biaseagleIII I think they usually nerf sets based on % usage in pvp. I don't think they touch sets in pve. That's why trial sets remain supreme for so long, because they are pve focused.
Damn, I feel sorry for the ppl who just farmed this set only to have it gutted. I got this set a long while ago when making your Nature's Bounty Ice Warden tank build. It won't affect this build much hopefully, but for PvP...damn.
They ruin every single fun thing in this game. Meanwhile the same bunch of sets have been dominating in pve content for a long time now.
It's a joke. You have some new fun sets that come out that you farm for (LoM is boring as hell as well) whereas SPC has been compulsory on every healer for fifteen years.
@@BobbyxtonFive years longer than the game has even existed? Holy Hyperbole, Batman!
@@TatewakiGaming Was being a little sarcastic with the fifteen years - definitely should have said 55 to make that obvious
Fuck the devs. It’s just needless tweaking to give the impression they’re actually doing something. How about fixing and buffing any of the dozens and dozens of old sets that have literally zero use? Then maybe everyone wouldn’t be using azure
Honestly can't be bothered anymore. Installing Guild Wars 2.
Ofcourse pvp is gonna ruin for pve players by screwing sets up
I often dont care with the so called "nerfs" but they should have left this set alone. Its worth nothing anymore in pve now.
PVP: We need sets to deal with infinite sustain/heal ball groups in Cyrodill.
ZOS: Got you, how about this? What if we nerf the only set that can counter a ball group?
PVP: Yeah we’re going back to COD lol
Keep in mind devs added the ultimate ball group skill too: banner. Ball groups will be stronger.
@@eget4144 time to leave this game for good
I can’t believe this I literally just finished farming this for my necro
This game is a waist of time, by the time you farm a set it gets nerfed and it turns in to a total waist of time farming it , another 6 months and I bet they nerf the Arcanist beam
Warden was gutted. Necro have gutted. Arcanist will be gutted.
They already nerfed the beam, a lil while ago
Zos pissed off a lot of arcs - this is going to piss off a lot more. Major exodus incoming. That new mmo launching oct 1 is starting to look better and better every day :)
@@lef1970 which MMO is this please?
@@cuffleboy111 thrones and liberty - I haven’t tried it yet
New world @@cuffleboy111
I know everyone is mad about this nerf, but I just want to draw attention to the top tier editing in this video
Fun has been extinguished (Azureblight), nothing more to see here, be on your way.
Why was azureblight even targeted?! Since when was this set wrecking PvE or PvP? This makes no sense. It just turns players away from farming sets. No wonder it's so hard to find a pug group for anything these days
Yea sad for the poor souls that wasted gold or transmutes on this
I spent half a million building mine
Can't tell if you are trolling or just casual.
Pve wise Ab is one of the top sets for vet trials. Even in vet dungeons is relatively decent for most mob pulls.
Pvp they are the best counter to ball groups. The number 1 enemy for everyone in cyrodiil.
Bruh I just finished farming this last night
😂😂😂
its still good on 7+ targets
@@xmetalfreakx2550vateshran medium pestilent host is the best set in game if it's conditions occur perfectly. But no one uses that because niche sets are not used. Azureblight will be niche set for trial score pushes. It is dead for casual content.
me last week. 40 dreughwax gone. for "new" players thats a lot! 😢
Well Xy im guessing you're gonna give us a new set for the Templar build that was using Azureblight with Overwhelming Surge soon? Smfh
This was nerfed for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To stop the 10 players in grey host from actually defeating the "week 158" ball group core that's been roaming around your keep for 90 minutes.
Sad 😢 just finished farming it 2 days ago. Also they just took away they only reason people will stick around for lair of maarselok dungeon lol there was already a lot of people who’d drop out when they got it as a random because it’s annoyingly long
Balance with fkn bulldozer.
Way!!!😡😢😢 pvp breaks evrything fml
I think you have understanding problems. This damage nerf have nothing to do with PvP.
Is both, the ball groups in pvp are finally getting served for their toxic playstyle that they made a forum to ask the devs to nuke the set to the ground so to remain godlike status in cyrodill.
Notice the dev turned off the player scaling...... That means it was targeting the pvp use of this set.
Pve wise most score pushing trial raids use ab.... So oof it was getting nerfed.
@@jasonchui111 PvE nerf is totaly detached from PvP nerf. PvP balance did not ruined this set for PvEers.
Okay, then update Plaguebreak from "players" to "enemies" so it can be used in PvE and PvP
And also buff it
not gonna happen, they nerfed it 1 and half years ago in order not to be used in PvE. They have to my mind never really backtracked on such a fundamental nerf
dam just got back in to eso after a 2 year hiatus... never got a chance to use this set. Im wondering what alternative set I might place for this (or maybe just use it for non boss fights in IA?)
yup... i think this is the final nail in the coffin for me... i had already cut back greatly playing eso.... but to take away one of the only counters to the ballgroup plague..... yeah... def shows the devs dont care about the state of the game. Been playing since 2015... but I think this is the end of the line
This is just what they do folks. After 10 years in this game we will do what we've always done, we adapt.
All they needed to do was add the word TO PLAYERS to the nerf, and the set would still be valuable to the 70% of players THAT DO NOT PVP. I'm getting real close to leaving ESO over the constant set destroying changes.
Ruined this set as proof against ballgroups! I wish they would reconsider the changes for pvp. Maybe they will eliminate cross healing and cap heals at 10% of max health
Heartbreaking as it’s been my favotite set for the longest time even before you put it on builds. however yes it needed adjusting a bit like shooting star. Just didn’t expect them to take a sledgehammer to it. 😢
IDK anyone that uses this in pvp, the only ones stacking are ball groups, even people on flags stopped stacking. ZOS keep wondering why your player numbers keep going down and trail runs have to keep pinging for people to sign up.
you gave the answer yourself, currently it is the only available hard counter to ball groups, that is the sets only usage in pvp (and yes people are using it exactly for that). This nerf for me is the nail in the coffin for cyrodiil, BGs can have all the map and farm as they like it, I am done
@@benjamineer3045 Yeah I do pvp to get my toons to claptrops only now. I stopped taking it seriously when they constantly nerfed bomb builds to cater to the ball groups.
The dev team needs to be fired and replaced with actual competent people. I'm sorry, but almost every single update to this game continually shows the incompetency of the devs. They nerf things that don't need to be nerfed they buff things that are already overpowered, not to mention the massive server issues bugs that have been plaguing the game for years. Like something needs to change. Otherwise, eso won't survive very long. I'd give the game 3 years left at the maximum if they continue with this blatant incompetency
another mmo to quit -.-
I just want them to work on a better queuing system 😪
Same 30-45 minute wait times unacceptable even fake tank queuing is incredibly long sometimes
@@ducky5326 even for bg im not gonna sit around locked out of doing anything because in combat the ready check doesn't pop up on the screen so it's either play and miss the queue or sit with your thumb um your butt doing nothing those are you two options
We need a pvp mode that only has certain sets allowed. Special sets that can only be used in pvp games. Pick a class. Pick a roll. But everything is even and requires skill and technique to play. Rolls and sets that have advantages and disadvantages against other sets and classes. But can be countered with skill.
not gonna work then that would expose the class disparity and how trash certain classes kits would be in 1v1 and 1vX situations and they'd be forced to balance every skill
Never had it, never used it. But what I'm actually concerned about is templar's shield getting an actual nerf. Useless debuff + 6% cost increase against 3% bonus to shield is more of a nerf. And you get a crappy small shield if there is not enough enemies around. That doesn't change a thing.
It's still BROKEN with adds popping on each other, but now it's just severely less effective for small groups. Fair change I think. Idea is to only hit main dmg on big guy and let adds live for several pops. This will still melt rooms in dungeons I believe.
They also increased the cooldown to 1 second so now it is completely useless in pve rip vet HM progs in Rockgrove, dreadsail reef and lucent citadel
Tbh I was hitting 70 k plus currently with the set 40 k single target
Mechanical Acuity all over again. Nerfed to the dirt.
Ffs again , again , again with another blasted phucking nerf ffs Its to much . Every time I farm get a build i like or look forward farming a new set they always nuke it to death 😠😠😠😠😠😠
I only run this in pve and was fine with the changes until I read “only works on monsters.” Monsters is a specific subtype of enemy. That’s so stupid.
This means no players XD just like plaguebrake only players.
"monsters" in pve is every enemy including human ones
I struggled with this too and there were sets that I actively avoided because in my head "monsters" means non-human and BBEG types but when I tested it, any overland PvE enemy would proc the set
But those same sets are going to be very underwhelming in PvP
@@jeffreymccambridge9012 if a set is only to kill monsters or says this buff is only monster then it's all types of enemy of none player character with the status hostile.
I like this set but I never used it after trying it for a bit.. the seeds just don't stack fast enough to be effective,. mobs just always die before hitting 20 seeds in PvE and in PvP 20 seeds just always took way too long to build for me, unless you are in an azureblight group doing it. If they had dropped the seed count needed to make the explosion hit sooner it may have been useful but it sits in my chest in my house gathering dust right now like so many other sets I've tried. But this nerf makes little sense to me, just as removing the execute from Arcanist flail made no sense either.
I think this saved me from farming the set 😂😂 was gonna use it finally but it the new state its not good lol I'm psna so no add ons for quick swaps in dungeons lol
It’s true that this set is an option to against ballgroup on live server, but I still think it’s a good change.
tbh, for PvP, if ballgroup running 3 sets of this together, other 9 members just spam heal and shield, you don’t stand any chance to survive or fight back, because it’s tooooo easy to proc the damage in ballgroups hand, they don’t even need to think about how to stack AoE. As a result, this set just way more effective on ballgroup’s hand than any single players.
Non ballgroups have run the sets to great effect against ballgroups so you have no idea what you're talking about. I've run in ball groups too and we got killed a lot, like ALOT, by this set.
@@WGWF1022 good
I think every set should be returned to its “broken” state so that we can have fun again. Sweats don’t put money into the game casuals who want to have fun do. I don’t know why people are complaining about any sets in pvp when basic light attacking can’t even be done half the time.
And yet Cyrodill players will continue to argue that they never get any updates/love when all the nerfs happen because they get butthurt and complain that they die too quick.
I didn't even use this set but making it 60% less base is never good for any set.
I would switch from player damage to monster, and just release a new pvp set with this updated numbers.
Rip natures bounty build I guess.
I only play pvp these days and I've seen this set in my death recap maybe 2 times ever. Seems like an unnecessary nerf to me.
Horrible. They already had nerfed it to where i almost never used it. Now...complete garbage. Yeah Plaugebreak, but what about both and Selestrix? Why limit ability to smash ball groups when they have limitless cross heals, shields and imov. Just sad really.
This seems like it leads to the meme where someone in the office suggests the really obvious solution and gets hurled out of the window for it.... Just split sets to be pve or pvp, make the combat teams job possible. balance pvp sets for pvp, pve sets for pve jobs a good un. They already have battle spirit to do this. Sure, some loud people will shed tears on redit if it was done but 2 weks later business as usual. -wanders off grumbling in old man-
... Nature's Bounty??
Tbh would this make runecarver dk better given not a lot of fights even have 7 targets
This is SUPER broken on anti zerg builds. Hits people for 50-70k+ pops if you're stacking it right in open world pvp. Lol definitely was super fun.
If you ask me, as a DPS, I WILL KILL THEM BEFORE 20 STACKS EVEN HAPPEN LOL
THEY SHOULD HAVE TOOK IT FROM 20 STACKS TO 5
I BELIEVE THIS SET IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO HEAVY ATTACK...
They have another pve version of this set
which is? this was the pve version.
@@PattyFrmGu it came with the new patch. I think it's overland.
@@PattyFrmGu macabre visage or something like that. It bombs when monsters die.
@@PattyFrmGu doesn't take 20 stacks either.
Need a buff
i'd much rather be killed by a player using a skill than some random proc, I don't mind the nerf to this or Tarnished at all.
Enemy player do not kill you with this set's proc. Your or your ally's stupitness kills you. You have the reigns with this set, you have the initiative. Just split up an you dodged his proc.
Also azureblight is not a mindless proc. It is a skill modifier like arena weapon sets. It makes dots more dangerous. It is very similar to proximity detonation.
they need to nerf some other sets to.
Nope
I pvp a lot and have never yet encountered azureblight in my death recap. I don't see it being used? In the meantime, getting VD'd left, right and centre.... But will they nerf that?
This game is trash, highly imbalanced, p2w, wondering wtf i still even bother to log on....
smh.
Dead
kkkkkkk desperate people farm the set at the event kkkkkkk
No more 1, 2, 3 you win. Very nice. Git Gud Scrubs
The scrubs are the ones crosshealing because they can't pvp
Bro please your a content creator and I think zos will listen to you before someone on reddit but can u please consider making a argument for cyrodil tri pots you can buy with alliance points I think every single pvp in all 3 gaming systems pc xbox and ps will thank u that would be well thanked and will help all players in pvp areas
As a new player it's super costly to make ( tri pots) the most (liked). Potion to use in pvp.
I stopped playing anything but healer. I have more important shit to do than grind out another video game gimmick. The nerfing of sets every 5 minutes is rediculous.
How so ? From what I see live this is panic lmao
And your wrong
