Viper's Sting vs Syvarra's Scales, explain me, please

XomRhoK

I didn't play around 6 months, now i am launched the game and run around with my old character who have Viper's Sting and Syvarra's Scales sets, and what did i saw, they changed trigger for Syvarra's Scales and now it triggers from any damage, but the damage seems stayed the same and now we have Viper's Sting: single target, needs to be activated in melee and deals 1600 damage per second and we have Syvarra's Scale: 5 meter radius AoE, can be activated from range and deals 1625 damage per second (to everyone in area). Did i miss something? After 2 years of constant revisiting of sets and standartization we got this? Or did i really miss something?

They like making newer sets better than older ones?

I think I know what you're saying (why is scales better than viper?)

Dont have a meaningful answer aside from maybe cuz scales is slightly harder to acquire?

Yep, but the difference is so big, both old sets, and one set outperforms another even at single target, at multiple targets its 2-5 times difference in average scenario. So how effective thier standardization? They killing all little good differences in skills and sets mechanics for two years for the sake of standardization and performance and can't even do it right.
The only explanation i have is that they didn't touch/standardized Viper's Sting yet, but this raises another question for how long this standartization will continue, and most interesting for me, after reintrodusing new Champion Points system will they go for round 2 of standartization?

[Snip] so they just made almost all proc sets completely overtuned AND deleted all proc conditions or % procs.
Now it's proc or go home since almost an entire year + malacath made the whole mess a 1,25 times worse.

Drop viper for venomous smite and enjoy the damage
