https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kr3VholiS0Fueled by clever alchemy, zyklysis inflicts Vicious Death upon his opponents with Proximity Detonations and Ice Comets.
This video is composed of excessive zerg diving as I test the new Vicious Death set. Most opponents are experienced players. The clips used in this video were recorded march 13-16, 2016 on NA Trueflame. The settings include: alessia - alessia bridge - alessia farm - ash - brk lm - nikel - roe mine - sejanus
Thank you to all teammates and opponents encountered while recording the clips used in this video.

@Ishammael this is the same person that thought shield breaker was the best solution to shield stacking sorcs and thought it was the best set to counter them...don't botherMember of Victorem, RÁGE ; Decibel Alumni (RIP)

Fizzlewizzle✭✭✭✭They should give this effect to the Soul shatter passive, and lower that so it only goes off at 5-2.5% health (or on death).

✭Don't @ump your team mates legs and you will be fine when I was in the Marine Corp (0311) if you were less than five meters form your team mate you got a beat down. Five meters was the blast radius of a grenade. If a grenade or enemy hit you they would hit no one else so only one person would die or be injured. All others would live. Take note.... Don't stack on crown. Let you in on a little secret it does not take 20 players to kill that one guy.Sorcerna, proud beta sorc. RIP April 2014 to May 31 2016 DArk Brotherhood. Out of retirement for negates and encases. Sorcerna will be going back into retirement to be my main crafter Fall 2018. Because an 8 k shield is f ing useless. Died because of baddies on the forum. Too much qq too little pew pew. 16 AD 2 DC. 0 EP cause they bad, CP 2300 plus 18 level 50 toons. NA, PC, Grey Host#SORCLIVESMATTER actually they don’t or they wouldn’t keep getting nerfed constantly.1 -
mchermie✭✭✭✭How can anyone even compare shieldbreaker with this set? Yes, shieldbreaker is annoying(and only that), but when would it ever get you 10+ kills in less than a sec?Retired

✭✭✭✭✭Some guy killed me while using this set today in the IC sewers, and I actually took out a couple of hoarvor when I died, LOL.
I don't get the hate for this set, considering that the results are so hilarious. It's way too early to be talking about nerfs.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE0 -

Shield Breaker is WAY worse than VD. VD applies to everyone equally, whereas SB is unfairly designed to punish Sorcs the most.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE0 -
id laugh so hard if this gets nerfed.
zos get rid of cap, zos give us zerg busters...
ok here you go,
wut Nerf It ASAP waaaaaaa

✭✭✭✭This set is soooo much ZoS like it's unbelievable. A typical bandaid fix, ruining the gameplay more than helping it.Susano'o

Dreyloch✭✭✭✭✭Yeah so instead of having magkia DK's come back to being something useful, all I see is that NB's got even stronger. So thanks for that ZoS. But my real question is what band is the video's song from? I'm just curious and I wanna say that's Exodus? I'm an old metalhead lol.
Edit...then I thought, hmm, maybe it was Accept!Edited by Dreyloch on March 18, 2016 5:03PM"The fear of Death, is often worse than death itself"0 -

✭✭✭✭✭In a couple of the clips in this video, I'm not using Vicious Death. Most of the damage is from Proxy Det. Vicious Death is the icing on the cake.
I find the comments related to "skill" to be interesting. What is skill? Is situational awareness a skill? In an AvAvA game, of course it is. I think too many of us have a one dimensional view of what skill is -- based on our own preferences, perhaps? Skill is highly subjective and contextual.
To me, what makes AvAvA entertaining is the dynamism. One never knows what is coming around the corner or over the hill. Adapting on the fly to a variety of circumstances is extremely entertaining to me. This set contributes to that.
What my video highlights more than anything is that too many players are used to being crown magnets and/or sticking to herds instead of reacting and responding to what is happening around them. Too many players feel too secure to just stand blobbed up in the open because they have come to expect a defensive rotation will protect them from anything other than another organized blob.
I will also add that I don't play ESO to make videos. That is to say, I do not ever seek out opportunities for good footage. In each clip, I am playing on a highly competitive and contested campaign. In most clips, I am fighting extremely experienced opponents. These aren't contrived bait clips or reckless suicide attempts. I mostly play objectives and share what I find to be entertaining.Edited by zyk on March 18, 2016 7:30PM2 -

Some of the groups you bomb there are not the Stack in Crown types. You just hit them in places where they *have* to move together.
Moreover, the game itself encourages stacking. Synergies, for example, are super close range. As are most heals. The game with mechanics forces people into smaller places/areas and than attempts to make it impossible to do so.Vehemence -- Commander and Raid Lead -- Tri-faction PvP

✭✭✭✭✭It's cute now. People will get sick of an entire PvP meta focused around prox-det, VD and NBs. Remember back in the day where we actually fought eachother with single target abilities? You know, like a giant battle, instead of the last day of a suicide bomber convention?Edited by Yolokin_Swagonborn on March 18, 2016 7:57PM0 -
Aegonnn✭✭✭I remember that @ 2:18 and remember thinking "wow these pugs just got VD'd,." How am I alive?? hahaha
Honestly though, they really dont think it through putting this in the game. All it is now is zergs using it, same with siege.Edited by Aegonnn on March 18, 2016 8:10PMGrand Overlord DK - EP/DC
