Is VD still viable or was it just the FOTM and was replaced with proc sets now. I just noticed less bombing going on

    I think people.just like the next thing. And proc sets are big right now. And if they weren't big before everyone moaning about them here and how OP they are will send curious people looking for.then haha.

    When people will realise public moaning just makes things spread!

    I think VD is still viable in the right circumstance. Zerrgs are thin on the group now tho (Xbox)

    It's definitely viable. I know it's commonly used in organised PvP Raid-Groups. Also it can be useful to use when you're e.g. sieging enemies on the breach or oiling them. I mean, who doesn't want a VD-proc as 50 enemies flood into a breach. -Cough-

    It's still used, but proctatoes have widely spread and is probably the most used gear by now.

    It still works. Escpecially combined with proxy and the new destroy staff ulti. But it also still works with soul thether. But I noticed it didn't proc all the time. So I switched armor to Krag's hope+spinner. Also I dislike proc-sets, even VD.

    do you have the source of this?

    I read on the forums, that it has been broken, that it did not proc every time it should have, but then few patches ago, it is supposed to be fixed already.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work, people complain and Zenimax accidentally breaks it then doesn't fix it. It's so obvious that they just want PVP to die altogether.

    VD has been seriously nerfed and only affects players in a 4 m radius (see new tool tip). That is exactly the same range as the Ilambris-proc and 25% less than one circle of infernal guardian (which has 5m radius). So unless a group stacks more or less IN each other, most of your VD procs only hit empty air.

    Doesn't that stack with the amount of enemies that dies though? So if you kill 2 people and trigger VD on both they both explode in a 4m radius if they are further apart this creates more range or can it only proc on one person?

    I have not tested it on my DK, but in case it would get fixed by ZOS, it procs on a death enemy, so if your DK is killing a lot, then it should work well I guess

    ok guys, so good news, that info, that it should still be broken on PC, is a misinformation according to what Gina wrote here:
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/3526918/#Comment_3526918

    it only IS still broken on console and will be fixed in some future patch.

    Not to mentioned VD is broken on console's so that's why you don't see them on Xbox.

    We should consider ourselves lucky that VD is broken. Imagine if the insanely cheesey zergs we see now running EoTS had VD too......
