Comments:
The Nunatak set introduces the Major Brittle debuff to enemies in ESO. However, its short duration and high cooldown make it unreliable without multiple players coordinating its use with the Nazaray set for extended uptime.
Typically, groups can reach the crit cap without Nunatak by using more reliable methods like Minor Brittle, Elemental Catalyst, Lucent Echoes and Major Force.
Nunatak can replace Saxhleel Champion when paired with Nazaray, providing extended Major Brittle duration and higher crit cap uptime. Effective use requires good communication to replace at least one Aggressive Horn or Saxhleel proc.
