    2) Vicious Death Set, the damage output should be reduced significatly. A Gold armour of this set its almost 23k damage per kill (no comments...). For those that says its not a thread since it actually hit for 9k, and less if you block... Well, try to block it when an invisible magicka NB cast it at the right time, and HOPE there are not enought allies around (that of course, should be holding block to... beacuse you know, just in case).

    You are wrong. The tool tip is reduced 50% so it will only hit a players for around 9k with mitigation, etc. If they block it is greatly reduced.

    First hit below is a mob, second a player, third a blocking player. All VD pieces were gold.

    NO: MY SMALL MAN/SOLO GROUPS ARE NOW BEING INSTANTLY WIPED BY ZERGS USING THE SAME TOOL DESIGNED TO PREVENT ZERGING.
    Good idea, Poorly executed.

    Its far too powerful. There is no reason an armor trait should be procing for more than most ultimates.

    It didn't fix zerging, nor am I being killed by vicious death much.

    Vicious death is better than nothing. 1.5 approach is better.

    We already had siege weapons vs. zergs. Vicious Death / Magicka Detonation is not needed at ALL.
    Area Effects should always deal less damage than the average templar single DD skill/spell.

    I am?

    Read the tooltip of a gold piece of VD set. => 22.5k (near that).
    Ones you apply mitigations, it is reduced to 9k (which i said...)

    Ofc blocking it will reduce the damage, but that means everyone have to move throu cyrodyl holding block and spread out so cheese magicka NB dont wipe +6 people in 2 seconds. Quick answer, NO.

    This set should not exist. Unbalanced and lack of skill.
