The Caluurion's Legacy Set is being Stealth Nerfed in ESO's Next Update

The Caluurion's Legacy Set is being Stealth Nerfed in ESO's Next Update

While most changes to the Elder Scrolls Online that are expected to hit the live servers in the Lost Depths update can be read on the PTS, this isn't the case with all of the changes. Sometimes there are "stealth" nerfs or stealth fixes, where the developers change something without writing about it in the patch notes, for reasons unbeknownst to us. 

This time around, one such stealth nerf has been applied to the Caluurion's Legacy set, however depending on what you are using the set for, it might not actually be that much of a nerf for you. 

Why is Caluurion's Legacy Being Nerfed in ESO?

Since there is nothing about the nerf in the patch notes, and therefore no developer comment, we can only speculate. However we can speculate with quite a lot of certainty in this case, since Caluurion's Legacy had a primary purpose in ESO, where it was giving players a large amount of extra power. 

PvP Nightblades currently have a very strong synergy with Caluurion's Legacy in ESOPvP Nightblades currently have a very strong synergy with Caluurion's Legacy in ESOIf you play PvP then you already know exactly what I am talking about - Caluurion's is extremely powerful on gank builds, particularly Stamina Nightblades, where the ability of proc sets like this one to scale from the offensive stats of the wearer, and also Crit, was leading to some frankly obscene burst damage, with players getting hit by the set for as much as 15,000 damage in one single hit, or reportedly even more than that, depending on who you ask. 

Nightblades probably love this set, however for everyone else it can be a big pain. The dominance of proc sets in Cyrodiil has been quite problematic for a while now, as the ease of proccing them on enemies causes extremely high burst damage which has very little counter-play in a lot of cases.

What is Being Done to Caluurion's Legacy in ESO Lost Depths?

While the changes are only on the PTS, meaning they technically are not final, the fact that the nerf was not mentioned in the Patch Notes most likely means that this change will not be getting reverted before Lost Depths goes live.

  • The strength of the damage proc was significantly reduced, by more than half. 
  • The cooldown of the set was also halved, meaning you can deal damage with it every 5 seconds rather than every 10 seconds.
This means that if you are using Caluurion's Legacy in PvE to do DPS, then the nerf won't be as big for you because the reduced damage is somewhat offset by the reduced cooldown. 

However in PvP where burst damage is king, the reduced damage will make bursts from the set more survivable and increase the amount of counter-play.
