Bugged Sets (Vicecannon & Sheer Venom)

Problem: Sheer Venom & Vicecannon Sets Bugged
These sets ever since Morrowind both reveal the user from invisibility when proc'ed on a Dragonknight using Volatile Armor as well as a Warden using Minor Lifesteal(Living Vines). I believe what causes this is the damage that both Sheer Venom and Vicecannon is unintentionally being classified as melee damage therefore Volatile armor/Minor Lifesteal return damage to the caster which then pulls you out of invisibility. This is also the case when using Surprise attack vs a Dragonknight using Volatile Armor, the damage return from Volatile registers before the Stun from Surprise attack which ends up pulling you out of Invisibility so the Stun never happens.

Solutions:
Change the damage classification on Sheer Venom and Vicecannon to whatever the damage classification Viper is and the problem should be fixed. Viper is a dot set that does not pull you out of invisibility in any circumstance.

Make the damage return from Volatile Armor not negate the stun from surprise attack. You will be pulled out of invisibility either way because the Surprise attack is landing, you should still take the damage return from Volatile Armor but the Dragonknight should also be stunned.

    It's not that I don't care, it's just that I've never seen this behavior. I run Sheer on a Stamblade. I thought it only procced on executes. So, this is weird...

    Man, I've been asking @ZOS_GinaBruno from time to time for weeks about a fix for this and not a single word about it. I don't want to sound like a petty child, but the idea of grinding for sets only to find they're bugged so badly that you can hardly use them is exceedingly annoying. Like, "Hmmm, do I really care to keep subbing to a game that let's huge bugs go on like this without a word?"

    Then again, maybe they intend for them to behave this way?
