venom skull is pathetic

Iron_Warrior

This supposed stam necro class spammable is so bad that i don't think there is any other reason than roleplaying to use it. You may say "but it is ranged so in some fight it is usefull" But let me tell you something, right now even the freaking silver shards is outperforming it and here is the thing , THAT SKILL DOES AOE DMG. So the only time that skull do better than shards is when someone is wearing morag tong set. But you still have to give up the aoe damage of shards for it.

Silver shards, one of the most useless abilities in the history of this game, is better than a "class" spammable. Right now i'm using neither of those as my spammable but if we want to have some class identity in this game, then a class spammable should be better than a simple fighter's guild spammable. This ability needs some buffs or a complete rework to make it worth using.

And no i don't want the silvershards to be nerfed, let the folks enjoy it. I'm saying that you should show some love to venom skull.

Yeah I agree, feels terrible to use also, imo needs a rework or design.

Who needs spamable on stamcro when 98% of the fights are over when you cast BB into stampede into carve into boneyard. Boss fights you just keep up your other dots with another BB every 3rd skill.

There’s literally no need for spamable on this class and that to me is the bigger problem. Running a pure dot build with stamcro performs significantly better than it’s magicka counterpart. Running skull roto on Magcro I hit 106 on the dummy versus 110 dot. Stamcro I hit the same 110 with dots but only 93 running skull, wrecking blow or rapid strikes. Oddly the dot roto is way easier on stam than on mag.

Welcome to the life of people that use rapid strikes the worst spammable in the game that never gets buffed.

Or people that use rending slashes meh dot that has lackluster -50% enemy movement speed. Something that is legit useless outside of dw pvp that people rarely use.

Or deadly cloak that is op , but has a special effect on the body looks like *bad word*

Silver shards is legit better than most spammables, but it lacks other things spammables have like major brutality.

You want a legit crap spammable? Crystal weapons.
Sucks to use, is boring to use , its a psijic spammable clone, sucks on questing, has horrible animation and looks pretty ugly.

Venom skull...i love the fact the animation is always diferent , left arm , right arm, both arms! Lovely

Why does it feel terrible to use in your opinion?

It’s not terrible, it’s just overshadowed by BB. BB is just better. Even when running a bow, Snipe is preferable. If we had another ranged Stam weapon like a Stam Staff or a sceptre of some kind it might work. I like the idea of a Stam caster but it just does not exist due to lack of a relevant weapon.

I just find it super clunky compared to other spammables in the game.

I'm not using anymore cause it's weaker than other spammables but i didnt feel it so unusable or terrible when i had it slotted... it is just way less efficient than many other skills.

Oh yeah can't agree more on crystal weapons. When i came back to the game i was so hyped to use stamsorc with it's new skills but it didn't last long. Bound armaments is just a nightblade bow reskin and crystal weapon is psijic reskin

Also another thing: badass crossbow > skull throwing

It's not unusable but there is another skill in the game that does the same thing but better and every class has access to it. If you want a 28 meter spammable and want to use it on any weapon then silver shards is obvious choice. Same range same cost same single target damage but it is also aoe. That's why i said skulls have no use other than roleplaying. I'm one of those people that thinks class abilities should be stronger than their counter parts otherwise everyone will look the same.
