Incoming chain reactions

Thought it was pretty good getting this far without ever putting armour on. Guess he'll have to be shelved at least for a while though. Not going to put clothes on him though, no matter what. Hard mode till the end.

When do you think it will get nerfed, on PTS or first incremental patch?

I don't think it will. ZOS clearly intends to discourage PvP blobs this patch, both with the change to detonation(max damage bonus 25% -> 100%) and this set.

Here is whats going to happen on live..

Groups are going to spam you with ID now...Most will be running Vicious Death set..once one of you dies..its going to set of a Chain of death and destruction.

I think that Vicious Death will destroy zergballs tbh. Combined with the increased deto damage a small group can bomb the zergball and burst them, and if they kill some the Vicious Death procs will start a chain reaction.

Keep in mind tho it will be only 7,5k hits in pvp because Battle Spirit.

I crit for 15k with it in pvp (:

Do you know/guess what the radius of the exploding player is?

Seems like a perfect set for a Dunmer magicka DK with Engulfing Flames + Inhale + Proxy Det + Meteor.

Rylana · February 2016

the next day, this is still making me giggle

Jhunn · February 2016

A shame the 42 out of the 48man zerg you're bombing will take reduced damage, thank you AOE caps

AbraXuSeXile · February 2016

So many sets look nice on paper, when put into practise they are garbage.

LazyLewis · February 2016

Vicious Death plus new exploding bubble plus inevitable....omg

Knootewoot · February 2016

Guess this is my new next set.

wow, hard to imagine ESO without a Venn Diagram meta.

dantator · February 2016

Using this set on a magicka sorc will be fun as heck! Zerg diving with proxi/db/distanced mines/pulsar combo here I come!

Rylana · February 2016

stilllll in a gigglefit about this set

also D. Force, i know right? First thing I thought of, prox streak bombing with mines + this set. If anything dies on the initial burst, its gonna be like a second prox for free. Thats just lollllllll

Taonnor · February 2016

Yeah, all nice, but nobody answered this questions at the moment:

1. Does the Vicious Death set have an internal cooldown on 5pc explosion?
2. Does the Vicious Death set explosion can proc another explosion?

These 2 questions answered we can say the set is crap or must have.

It doesnt matter if it has a CD or if it procs itself, by itself its already going to be a top tier or must have. Its set bonuses besides the five piece are already pretty damn good (especially 2/3, this will supplant torugs and magnus as the default secondary set for most magicka builds)

Assuming it comes with jewelry, this might actually become a staple base set

5 Death, 4 Magnus 3 will?
5 Kags 4 Death, 3 will?

Other mixtures?

Its gonna be in there, and is really far from "crap" if it has an internal CD..

I can tell you already my magiplar is probably gonna run 5kag 3death 1 kena 3 will, my sorc is likely 5 death 4 magnus 3 will, my dk is DEFINITELY 5 death 4 magnus 3 will since the 5 piece is flame damage)

Gonna be sick. Prelim testing only, but hella LOL.

My friend keeps getting killed by his OWN VC set. In a duel he will win and then HE takes damage and dies after. Something odd is making it happen. Will find out so i can abuse it on launch.

are you saying the set has friendly fire?

ALAHU AHKBAR!

Minno · February 2016

After thinking about this set, I'd be fine with it under the following conditions:

1. When wearing 5pc, player has a bright fire animation around him. This will help players avoid.
2. Cooldown after effect procs.

Till then its worse than "shield breaker is vs shields" in providing a balance to fighting large groups.

Just don't ball up and the bigger group still gets a gross numbers advantage and totally mitigates the 5th piece of this set. It just means EVERYONE needs to focus on self sustain and preservation, even in a big group, because if you're not keeping yourself alive you're a liability now. It removes the value of cannon-fodder from the game, can hide an "elite small man team" in 20 pugs anymore or you risk death.

I think this is the single greatest set I've seen, because the counterplay to it is something available to everyone, stop stacking. I've run in guilds that stack, Hijinx, IR, Shortbus, VE, etc. I understand the reason it is currently most beneficial is because it allows you to focus on specific roles, min-max for those roles and use the close proximity to suck up buffs and heals from each other, as well as that AoE cap RNG being a crutch. This gives players a reason to unstack, which, in theory, could help server performance and let us have fun pvp. Ultimately, the only thing that should be looked at is the radius, nearby isn't nearly a good enough description for me to be comfortable.

I dont care, I am using it, abusing it maliciously, I WILL FIREBOMB THE CAMPAIGN AND WATCH THE WORLD BURN, THE DUNMER DK MASTER RACE SHALL NOT BE DENIED. We have wallowed in mediocrity for too long.

Soon, peasants, soon.

I can agree to this viewpoint.

I'm just highlighting that the community's request to deal with this issue was to provide ways to burst a group that won't overpower one playstyle over the other (if AOE caps are to remain.). We all agreed shieldbteaker was a lazy attempt to combat shield stack, I feel the same for this set.

But if the friendly fire side is true, then I'm OK with this set. It means most won't run it all the time (since it means your death too.)
