Can anyone please provide me with any information on VMA damage changed. I seem to be taking a lot more damage then I did before the patch. I know ZOS breaks more then they fix with each patch, but is this working as intended?

    The only thing that possibly changed is when you take lightning damage minor vulnerability is applied to you.

    Other than that, nothing has changed that I could notice.
    Make PC NA raiding great again!

    Ive had to be way more careful with the changes.

    There is 100% more incoming damage but not on all mobs.

    believe or not, I feel like the little scamps on round 1 are hitting like monster trucks like I almost died the last 3 runs...

    whoo! So glad it's not just me. I thought it was cuz I tweaked my rotation but that never made sense. I tookma few points out of hardy and put them in ele defender, that's helped alot. Didn't help on stage 5 tho, I died several times. Died on last boss a few times and quit. I never die to this *** guy -.-

    I'll chalk it up to running it while crazy tired.

    They changed the lightning damage debuff...

    After this update, lightning damage applies minor vulnerability (just like the Infallible Aether 5pc bonus) instead of minor maim, i think?
    Enemies that deal lightning damage can apply it to just like you apply it to them.... so you take 8% more damage

    I had to ask this same thing after the update... it is a pretty noticeable difference in vMA.
