New Trial Sets - Vicious Ophidian, etc.

I might be very confused, but currently on Live my Vicious Ophidian set grants additional 5% damage against bosses. The new set (Quick Serpent) seems to have the same buffs except for that 5%. There's also 3-piece Poisonous Serpent set now (just like before the last update in outdated trials).

What happens to current set of Vicious Ophidian that we have on Live? Does it transform into Quick Serpent and we just lose extra 5% boss dps?
Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    No, these are separate sets. They existed before the upscaling too, and were basically a weaker but easier to obtain version of the good sets. I guess it will be that way again after the next update.

    Vicious Serpent remains as is. These new sets are now going to effectively create a lower tier of loot in Trials (which I *highly* dislike). I imagine the intention was to keep Vicious Serpent, Infallible Mage, and Eternal Warrior rare with the removal of other loot from the tables.

    Well, these versions can be used in PvP as well. Also the Infal. Aether mirror set, Healing Mage is actually superior for healing.

    Way back in the day, when VR12 was max level, Quick Serpent and Wise Mage and Eternal Warrior sets dropped in Hel Ra and Aetherian Archive. Then they increased max level to VR14 and added Sanctum Ophidia. Sanctum Ophidia added Vicious Serpent and Infallible Mage and Immortal Warrior. These were similar, but separate and more powerful, versions of the sets from Hel Ra and AA. With the recent upgrades of old Trials, the "old" Serpent, Mage, and Warrior sets disappeared. Looks like they are bringing them back. I have no idea how this will work with everything being CP160. Will Quick, Wise, and Eternal drop in normal Trials and Vicious, Infallible, and Immortal will drop in veteran Trials?
