Deadly strike set

bulcke10

Hi all
What are all the skills are buffed from this set?
And can this set also buff the dmg from some sets? Like relequen? Or is this a rumor?,
Thanks 😉

Deadly Strike
LEVEL 50 - CP 160
Type PvP
Set bonus
(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(3 items) Adds 833 Weapon Critical
(4 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(5 items) Increase the damage your Physical, Bleed, Poison, and Disease Damage over time and channeled abilities do by 20%.

Don't know about Relequen haven't farmed the set, I know the set works with Venomous smite and Viper's sting haven't really tested it with anything else yet only bought a set of Deadly Strike at the start of midyear mayhem to experiment a bit on my stamina Dragon Knight.

I would assume it would work with any set that applies a damage over time of the listed damage types in the description.

Works with jabs so it is perfect set for stamplar

I use this set on my StamDK/Werewolf - Noxious Breath, Venomous Claws, Werewolf Berserk, Feral Pounce, Claws of Anguish

Essentially, the set buffs the mentioned type of DoTs regardless of their origin since you can apply DoTs via char or via sets.

The sentence doesn't make sense if it applies to all damage over time and not just damage done by "damage over time" abilities.

Now, what exactly a "damage over time" ability is, and if the damage increase applies to every component of it, I can't tell.

If you purely went by the words, things that have an initial burst and a lingering dot afterwards should absolutely have their burst component increased by 20%. An example for this would be fiery breath.

That probably isn't the case and it just highlights how badly damage and damage descriptions are handled in this game.
Really, damage should just be a collection of flags which can be represented as adjectives and any modifier can only reference these modifiers.
Sets not clearly explaining their internal working is a big gripe of mine and I don't know why ZOS insists on describing their effects with natural language when it is extremely prone to conflicts.

• Increases damage by 20% if all of the following are true.
  • Damage type is in the stamina group.
  • Damage is done by an ability.
  • One of the following is true.
    • Damage is channeled.
    • Damage is done over time.

Now, if it were done like that AND ZOS would start to tell us what flag are set for what damage in the ability/set description, it would become a purely mechanical process to determine what effects should apply where.

It's not like this would even be hard to do, since all these conditions and flags are already written in the damn code. One could even automatize the process which essentially ensure the correctness of the effect since its implementation is public.

Thank you for listening to my rant.

P.S. This set probably just increases all damage over time, although it really shouldn't

What I want to know about Viper's sting, if you use a direct attack with splash damage, does every target that takes damage get the poison DOT?

Viper, when it procs, applies poisoning DoT - that's included in the Deadly Strike's buffed DoTs. Deadly Striker's tool tip doesn't specifies the DoT's origin so I think all DoTs mentioned on the tool tips are included regardless of their origin (char or gear set)

Need this set for Lightning ice fire and magic damage over time

Hi
Since last patch or 2 patches ago jabs are not longer buffed from thaumaturge cp... So technically it not a dot anymore? Or works it still with deadly strike? Thanks

Work it still with deadly strike? Because jabs aren't affected by thaumaturge anymore and technically not a dot? .... Thanks

Deadly Strike tooltip also specifies channeled damage as well, and jabs are a channeled ability iirc.

This games tooltips and ability types are so messy and confusing...

When you look at an ability like deadly cloak, every single indicator would tell you that it would be a damage over time ability. However I believe it is buffed by direct damage CP and thus it may not work with deadly strike.

Like Feric said, it BUFF jabs because it is a channeled skill.

Deadly also buffs the damage from sets that apply a DoT. they're considered "abilities" for some reason once applied.

Stuff like Merciless charge, Sheer venom, Maarselok, Hunter's venom ,etc all get buffed by Deadly as well as thaum
