VDSA neglected- 2 things this content desperately needs

I find VDSA one of the most enjoyable things to do in ESO however finding a group for it is a nightmare.
1. The rewards need to be reviewed, a masters staff will produce less damage than a set piece item, All the weapons apart from the restoration staff need a serious overhaul.
2. There needs to be a weekly reward for the top 100 board like VMSA where you receive a gold item. Its not a trial as there is no undaunted plunder so make it reward worthy and competitive!
If anyone has any other ideas they'd like to be added to this please comment below and let me know if you agree.

✭✭VDSA has good content but junk loots .
As a MMORPG , it's pretty bad design like this , VMA drops end-game gear and this is solo content , how come?7 -

✭✭I wouldn't say the bow and sword are bad. The sword works perfectly fine for a knight errant build, and the bow works very well in a build that utilizes a lot of poison dmg.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's not that vDSA has been ignored, but rather that ZOS doesn't care at all about endgame PvE atm.
Realistically, don't expect any changes unless Vet trials rewards are overhauled too

MCBIZZLE300✭✭✭✭✭I think making posts like thisdo increase the chance of change tho, They do read these posts and take things into consideration. We can only hope but i find slating them never usually works.0

With a decent group it should not last more than 2hrs.
Unexperienced groups might be stuck on the last boss for more than 2hrs however.0 -

It's all on the tank, if the tank can sponge the boss and then leave him alone with the 3 DD's and go play with the other 4 mini bosses the last part is a breeze. He doesn't hit hard enough to worry any decent DD's, it's the Dark Mage and Champion that cause issues.
Real issue random groups struggle with is the poison round from running around like lemmings and the Ghost round from low damage and not enough AOE to burn down the Vamp and Boss add at the same time. Get these parts right and you'll crush it in an hour.PC Master Race

hour and 20 minutes is my best time. Decent group its easy, much easier than VMA if you can compare the 2.0 -
Jamini✭✭✭✭✭The last fight in vDSA is a few magnitudes harder than the other rounds. The two mage boss adds in particular hit like trucks even with maxed resistances (13k flare, 13k crystal frags, plus all the AoEs getting thrown around by the pyromancers and melee hits from the other two bosses. For the first time I actually felt like 36k health wasn't enough until I slotted in Dragon Fire Scale to reflect it - Absorb Magic just wasn't enough and I was using Magma shell as an emergency button so spell shield was out of the picture), and the boss himself has a few very nasty moves if your healer isn't on-point with his novas/lifegiver ults.
I'm not saying it needs a nerf, but better rewards for completing the hardest 4-man group content in the game would be nice. (But hey, I actually do have a use for a powered master dagger on my warden healer!)

✭✭That right there. Your best time is hour 20 min. I imagine that's with a well seasoned group. It's just tough getting any group together that is capable of completing it. In my experiences anyways.0 -

Our group the tank just takes the ads away, the healer tanks the boss by the entrance and we nuke it down. Its super easy that way.1 -

✭✭✭The bow is pretty good and as you said the resto staff.
Tbh I think the destro staff is quite decent I just think the 12% decrease in the ability should be higher as its a very expensive skill.
Maybe increase the max magicka too as its no where near as useful as the 189 damage from the Maelstrom Weapons

That's how my group does it, we've completed it 5 times as a group and are down to just over 1 hour and half. Find a good group of 4 and do it over and over, rinse and repeat. I actually got our healer a powered resto staff second time through. RNG has been pretty decent to us, helps having 4 people run it together for loot so better than vMA
In that regard.

BlazingDynamo✭✭✭✭✭vDSA weapons were best in slot until vMA came around. What do you expect?
They do deserve a rework due to the fact they were designed when the game was in a much different state.0 -
Agree. It would be nice if ZOS spent more time on stuff like this and less time 'balancing' the game by nerfing stuff every three months so people have to go grind something else.
