VMA RNG....and why it should be looked at

So, we all know (i hope) and loathe VMA for one reason or another..mostly due to the drop rng....but this thread isn't about that.
Oh no, it's about the RNG on stage 7, the vault of umbrage, in particular the RNG basically being a "you lose" button, you know..when you're fighting the boss and they be screaming..so you're under a blue dome...and one of the mushrooms spawns literally under you, at which point you have two options.

- Stay in the dome and die from mushroom dot
- Leave dome and die from boss scream

✭✭✭✭✭The easiest time to be looking around for the Venomcallers is when you’re standing around waiting for the boss to finish its scream.
The best way to combat RNG is to prevent it in the first place.

it's not the venomcaller summon..they die from the boss scream.. it's the random mushroom pop and regrowth placing it directly inside the dome0 -

✭✭✭✭✭People have been making threads about this problem since the launch of Orsinium, with countless calls for the dome to grant poison plant immunity. There's a snowflake's chance in hell that ZOS will address this problem after having ignored it for nearly three years.
@Taleof2Cities Um, when's the last time you did stage 7?Taleof2Cities wrote: »The easiest time to be looking around for the Venomcallers is when you’re standing around waiting for the boss to finish its scream.- Venomcallers that spawn during the scream or that are alive when the scream starts are instantly killed by the scream. There will never be a poison plant explosion triggered by a Venomcaller during the scream.
- Poison plants can and will explode on their own on a timer, without being triggered by you or a Venomcaller. If this happens during a scream under your dome and you are a stamina build, you are dead.
If you're magicka, there's no need to. You can shield-spam and wait for the scream to end. If you're stamina, the amount of time that you have to make it to the pool is so short that unless both the boss and pool are right next to the dome, you can't get a bash and make it to the pool in time.Option 3: Leave the dome and bash the boss.

✭✭✭The amount of things and particles in this stage also lowers my FPS to like 30 (even on lowest graphics settings) which makes the mushroom stuff even more annoying. no other stage is nearly as laggy. FPS jumps back up to 50 on stage 8 every timeIGN @ emilypumpkin

Stop complaining about drop RNG, why you want Desired weapon to be dropped in couple of runs.
It was mess before transmutation but now easier to farm!0 -

He is complaining about round 7, not the vMA drops at the end.. Even I got that and I sometimes read through OPs to fast.0 -

✭✭✭Can't you use Venom Arrow to interrupt the boss from range if you are stamina?
the damage loss from using venom arrow instead of poison injection isn't worth itIGN @ emilypumpkin
