Why Vicious death needs serious nerfage

DHale

Thank you very much for this post and video. It 100 percent confirms why vd is in the game one time I can genuinely say.... Working as intended. As for skill... It's a video game. Not like you or we are doing brain surgery or anything remotely requiring skill. Is skill in ESO on anyone's resume? I didn't think so. To avoid vd you should a not stand next to baddies or this is where I lose ppl... hold the right mouse button. Of course you could run in pen and put cp into elemental defender too. But that might be too much to ask of the... player base.

Stop Stacking

Every nb and sorc is running it now, so it's almost a moot point. Hasn't really done anything to help with breaking up zergs though. Still zerg vs zerg, just all of them have VD. The people it really hurts are the small groups who used to use skill to overcome greater odds or stand tall against a decent ganker. It's ironic that this "zerg buster" set has made small group play even more dangerous, leading people back to the safety of the zerg.

Edit: And as of last night, I still say it's proc'ing before death. I know, I know, it's just an error on the death cap. I used to think that too, now I'm not so sure.

this guy gets it!It has done nothing to break up zergs at all.

ok guys so heres some back story, made a magicka nightblade 2 weeks ago to try out vicious death and literally its so stupid, you actually dont need a shed of skill (i know this because im absolute garbage on my nightblade), and yet look how easy this is to pull off, and i mean you can pretty much just own cyrodil if you have your ulti.... sorry for the rant but due to the fact that im still a newbie to magicka nightblade and i can pull this off really grinds my gears

Looks to be working as intended I mean like crap its for breaking up zergs and it looks like it did its job in the video

Ultimately, it wasn't Vicious Death that killed them. It was their over confident zerg mentality. This is exactly the kind of thing the set is supposed to challenge, and they totally had it coming.

More VD working as intended:

Personally, I love seeing this set in action. This is war, do you think war is fair? War is not fair. Defeating superior elements requires asymmetrical warfare.

Funny in another forum I complained that VD is broken and procs during a 1v1 like a finisher.I used Death recaps similar to those you display as proof of VD working as intended and I'm being told VD isn't killing me during a 1v1 and that it's lag or the death recap is bugged. I'm very confused it seems like player who support VD cheri pick so called proof just to support the side of the argument they agree with. VD at the very least in regards to "working as intended" is questionable and should be looked into.

The set wasn't designed to break up zergs, it was designed to punish stacking..which it does.

VD do not need a nerf. Just imagine how many tens of times NBs has to die pointless in the enemy crowd. And only 1 try of 100 published on YouTube

That's a great video. Long may the proxyblades reign!

Its very strong vs bad groups, its pretty weak vs good groups.

This set is great because it rewards group members for staying alive or spreading out. I just wish the radius was bigger.
