Will the orsinium event next month have double VMA drops like last year

Will the orsinium event have double VMA drops like last year?

Taleof2Cities

Has the event even been confirmed as returning this year?

Just did a forums search and didn’t see any official posts from ZOS.

If the event is coming back, I think the chances are good for double vMA drops returning.

Too bad the weapons got nerfed. Running it is pointless now for any 2h

Seems counterproductive to take away the meaning to run content. Just imagine how much less it will be run now.

It's very counter productive but I have others reason to run it.

I have no interest in the witches festival and much prefer the orsinium event.

Dude, did you see what they did to vMA weapons? Who cares if they double drop. They are garbage now. I'm putting them all on a bag alt and forgetting about them. I'm not even bothering to back bar my flame staff. The only one I plan to use is the resto staff in PVP and that is really just for the resource return.

There more to the game then PVp.While I enjoy the PVP in this game more than the PVE the PVE with my friends is still relaxing.They removed the weapon/spell damage from destro and 2h which were the only reason I ran the 2h on my stamblade.In PVE lightening destro is still good and the bow is now stronger than before.The Aslyum Bow is a$$ but that 2h is just broken strong,when fighting a magsorc and running BS.On my dueling build I can have incap up just about every 2-3 seconds.That doesn't change the fact Bow still really good and usefully I need a new bow and only been able to get restro lately.

No I haven't seen what they've done to them because I'm on console....... MATE!!!!!!!!

How in the world is it a nerf??? You can now enchant with any glyph!!!!

Crit charge will now cause the bleed and proc your enchant. Now you can proc 2 glyphs (front and bsck bar) instead of one...

It's a buff to pve too, hello shock glyph and damage glyph.

The changes to maelstrom weapons are described very well by everyone's favourite rogue (it's in the first 5 minutes, Gilliam does good videos but he does not do short videos!). It is still worth having maelstrom weapons.

Qbiken

In PvE the change is a buff since you can enchant the weapons now. For PvP the 2h is quite good actually

retraiting makes the grind nowhere near as hard.

There is no reason what so ever for anyone to be running a maelstrom 2h on a stamblade anymore. ZOS are the masters of destroying their game little by little each patch. The maelstrom 2h will severely cut down my heals. ill barely be able to break at least 2000 crit heals from vigor. The funny thing is that those heals from today would had been considered complete trash back in orsinium, thieves guild, dark brotherhood, even homestead were the norm was 2700 crit heals and anything below 2400 was considered very low healing, Now the highest you can get is 2300 heals and that's by gimping yourself running very unorthodox set ups and cp placement that lowers your damage tremendously you might well give stam nb brawlers a wet noodle by now. It is a very niche play style since it's a solo class and not a group one and it's not ganking. Only true masochists run a stam nb brawler or that weird mag nb that is extremely good 1v1 but it's terrible open world.

Before you had the static flat weapon damage,187 which could be combined with a weapon damage emchantment on the back bar.Now you just have the weapon damage from enchantment Which is a net lose of weapon damage.Also crit charge from VMA not a bleed unless i missed a change its physical damage.Which is reduced by physical resistance. So the extra damage from crit charge is very small.

I will agree for bow using double ravage health poison or just a basic poison enchant it increase your damage more than the 150 or so weapon damage but for PVp the inferno and 2h is useless

2h is trash for pvp or pve,

@Qbiken have you ever used 2h or just assuming and writing?

Im saying it will proc vma set bonus and whatever enchant or poison you're running. 700 to 1000 damage on each tick for free shouldn't be disregarded. And now add a 5k fire enchant crit on a vamp or a 3k disease that causes defile on top of your infused back bar. That 3k plus dot works or you a lot more damage than just 187 weapon dmg. It does not impact your healing though, thats a bummer.

But a 5k crit charge, 3k enchant plus defile, and a 700 tick from the vma set bonus is more burst than that 187 would add no matter how you look at it.

I´ve actually testet it, it´s a very niche DoT build for PvP on my stamsorc (using 2hander axe) where I try to stack/apply as many DoTs as possible (DW frontbar). It´s not META/BiS but I´ve had some ok results with it.
