why not change the VD set to scale with amount of targets hit?

dsalter

people seem to be annoyed the set is more favoured for zergs than anything, so why not lower the base damage to like 6k and scale it up 10% for every target hit? then it fills the role it was ment to.

same can be said for det, they should have reduced direct damage months ago and allowed it to scale up massivly, this is how you make an anti-zerg ability

Because, you would start working towards creating smart solutions to a problem.

Does ZOS really have a history of using smart solutions for fixing balance/performance problems? Didn't think so.

An idea of mine to fix Viscious Death is to require 4-5 enemy players to be within 5 meters of the enemy you killed to actually proc. Mixes well with your method @dsalter and stops that gamebreaking proc before death bug.

good point, rarely see smart fixes these days

Because it defies ZOS logic and as we all know ZOS logic is the law whether we like it or not.

Because it should just be removed.

Because we all see how well that worked with proxi det.

thats because ZoS tweaked it's scaling and upfront damage so pathetically it was as if they wanted to help zergs

I'm still surprised this set exists...

its only 5m radius. people are overacting big time. probably becuase they see the self proc on recap.

*** magicka det. (srry for language). Its a crutch for good group play.

Magicka det needs the scaling changes not VD.

There are usually two ways to solve a problem.

1. The path of least resistance. (Least likely to actually fix a problem, but it's fast.)
2. The correct solution. (Usually takes much much more effort but works and is the correct choice.)


ZOS is addicted to the fast fix #1. It's the reason the same problems keep coming back. (Charge skills anyone? LOL)

will just add more la because more calculations in a short period of time.
