Why not make VD aoe effect scale similar to magic detonation?

Serenityx

Instead of doing x guaranteed damage regardless of how many players are in range of the explosion, why not reduce the amount of initial damage and make it scale x% per player inside a certain range? This would protect small 5-10 man groups and allow medium size groups of 10-15 atleast somewhat of a chance.

It's nice you think of 10 man as small and 15 man as medium

Serenityx

Not sure what you mean, maybe a 5-10 man would be medium and a 15 large but I wouldn't call a group a Zerg until their over 20 players. That's all I'm saying is if people are justifying this set as a "Zerg" buster than why not actually make it that.

Or you know.... just change the scaling of magicka det so small scale is not just blown up to pieces of cheese.

VD is fine because magicka det does scale with tons of players around. The problem is magicka det is too effective against small numbers. Even 5 people nets a 50% damage increase, kinda overboard if you ask me since this skill is a zerg buster.

Id rather not see an ability be nerfed in lieu of a single item set. That wouldn't be fair to players who use the ability for other purposes or by itself.

det already scales like crap, I mean on 1 person i can hit a 10k det.
