That looks like fun - I must either respec my Kajit stam nb to magicka or level my lowbie High Elf as I already have full gold VD on mag DK so could hand it over to him when needed for the lols. I was thinking of levelling the High Elf for the extra magicka/regen although seeing how your lizard does there I'm thinking for a VD bomber the extra damage from stealth for a kajit could well be better. Would be interested in knowing what other sets you are wearing there to maximise your damage if you care to share.

As an aside, as one of the last DiE members left in in this game that AD skellie group you destroyed a couple of times in that vid makes me shake my head sadly whenever I see them. The skellie costume used to be feared in pvp - your video shows is a great illustration of why its not any more.

Literally all I get killed with now. Even when I'm solo. Still, enjoyable to watch.

If you're getting killed by VD NBs while solo, then you need to rethink some things...

Why is that? Rethink things like what?

Impen on at least a few pieces of gear

CP damage reduction and critical reduction

20k morale or higher

Blocking, roll dodging, or general movement

I think these are basics for any PvP situation, not just surviving VD NB.

7 pieces impen 10% in CP
27k health
I'm feared and killed in that 1 second of unbreakable CC, I'm repairing a wall, I'm on a horse or zerged/jumped by 2 to 4 of them.

Hardly gonna change my playstyle there am I.

Edit: forgot, might be on potion cooldown so cant take another detect pot or detect pot doesn't even work.

Just because it's ranged, doesn't mean it's the same.
Back then people were spamming healing ward and harness which both together granted insane shields back then, melee was significantly worse than ranged and assassin's will didn't even exist.
On top of it you canceled light attacks on your resto and used the off bar for something like sword and board. Why? Because resto gave you a damage boost.

Didn't see many real ranged magicka build since they nerfed harness magicka.

Nice bombing.

General rant, not directly related to the video:

I think the "skill" commentary in vd video threads is silly. In a game like this, it's not always about demonstrating superior skills or a unique build. Sometimes--or usually, depending on preference--it's about using the best tools for the job at hand and executing.

Furthermore, videos aren't only about "look at my elite demonstration of skills", they are also about "hey, I think this is entertaining, maybe you do too." Why even watch a vd bomb video you know you probably won't like and then post something negative about it?

You posted this because you also threw up a copy paste bomb vid as well lololol

No. I posted because it needed to be said. There's too much thread crapping. It's like someone who doesn't enjoy duels posting negative rants in every single duel video thread. The same goes for GvG or raid footage. To each their own.

I don't mind if people call it unskillful...I mean it really isn't....I just think bombing stacks of people is hilarious

Gear setup is 3 Willpower Jewelry, 5 Piece Clever Alchemist (Legs/Chest/Boots/Belt/Restro Staff) 5 piece VD (2 Swords/Helm/Shoulders/Gloves)

This set is so wrong...and I got it from rewards for the worthy.

Sneak up to an archer exposed on a tower wall, thinking he's awesome with his snipe. Buff, and feed him a curse, proc frag, impending det, and Mage wrath before he figures out that he's already dead. Frag Floored, he breaks, curse explodes, det explodes, under 20% wrath KABOOM! Then Vicious Death Procs and KABOOM again! Now other people up there with him are dying, because of curse and VD. Meanwhile you're streaking off trying not to pee yourself laughing.

This set is really funny but it can't last. Even ZOS will figure it out eventually.

Now this is something I'd love to see.

VD is here to stay. Wrobel said it's exactly what the game needs right now. I believe he's also very proud of Shield Breaker and Proxy Det.

This video is a great illustration of something a old friend expressed about the current direction of ESO pvp.

Zennimax has tried to shift people into playing in small group, but they are completely discouraging actual small scale. It seems they want people to Zerg or "Zerg Surf" with small groups.

There where some good clips, but in almost all clips (except the 2 in IC) DC had equal or greater numbers. It is cool and all, but I just can't really get behind a zerg surfing video. I get that it is something people enjoy, but personally I hate it.

Then he's an idiot. This set shouldn't be doing this kind of damage.

It isn't so much shifting people in small groups..they're trying to discourage stacking or at least make it some what risky...You could zerg all day but if ya don't stack up I basically won't be able to do anything against it...But if you're close together you give me a chance to wipe you...

Since AOE caps are here to stay I think it should do this kind of damage...Right now the benefit to stacking is incredibly in its favor...this set just like shield breaker isn't designed to stop people from doing things...Only make it more risky...Shield Breaker isn't going to stop people from casting shields....But it can be incredibly risky to do it against a bunch of shield breaker users.....Just like Vicious Death isn't going to stop people from stacking up...But it does make it incredibly risky to do it.
