Please FIX Vicious Death

Even after todays 2.6GB patch for consoles VD is STILL bugged and proccing when you go below 25% health, acting as an instant execute (who the hell even needs executes when this set executes for you?) this is getting very annoying now to be killed by a proc that shouldn't have procced in the first place.
I am aware that even if VD does not kill you, it still appears in your death recap. However I assure you after extensive hours of PvP this set procs when you are below 25% health. And no, no one was near me and died. Ive got multiple gameclips recorded on Xbox showing me going to 25% health and then I randomly explode. Please fix ASAP.

    from what I know. VD will show up before killing blew skill in death recap. And it is creating the illusion that you got killed by VD.

    LOL BOOM BOOM
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Noticed this today leapt on a player purely solo whilst traveling in Cyro. Said player had 23k HP hit him/her for 7k lotus fan, 11k concealed weapon, light weave cancelled by rolling for 1k which left them at 4K ish and suddenly boom 8.5k VD proc which killed them. I had detect pot up so there was definitely no one near this person. Either there is a bug making it proc under certain circumstances or...somethin'.

    You guys defending it are sheep. Nuff said. This needs a fix, everything op said is true.

    They honestly need to accept they *** up and remove the set.

    The gripe i have with this game is that some abilities and sets are just too rewarding and very low risk. It's not supposed to be like that. When i see a sorc buffing with it's shields just to rush bomb everyone and spam shields till det goes off and VD, that to me takes no skill. Same with nightblades. All of these AEO's just benefit the person playing the game in farming AP. That's what it is. Nothing but AP farming. The intended purpose of both of these AEO's was to reduce lag. Which sadly it did not. Yes people are using it to destroy zergs but they are also using it to outright decimate small groups. That's were zos dropped the ball. How is this balance?

    You can't expect to fix a problem with a band aid fix because a leak will always start somewhere else. The only true way to fix not only pvp but the whole game in general is to fix performance. You can't expect to fix a game with out fixing the foundation first. You can implement all the balance changes to your hearts content but you will never get accurate results across the board. You enter into an endless paradox. Vicious death has fallen into this category because the game performs so bad not only is it outperforming along with mag det but people using them are also benefiting the most because of lag. They just let the AOE's do all the work. It's unbalanced and unfair.

    I have seen this happen to me, however, i can't really say that the fight would end differently if it hadn't, i mean, when you are into execute range near a gank build that kinda IS settled already.

    I have the money but refuse to buy the set and decon any rewards and sell any jewellery to merchant.

    Its a set for unskilled players. Any divvy can use it. I dont even use proxy det when solo pvping.

    OP Zenimax have confirmed nearly a month ago already that the death cap showing it procced is just a UI bug... ( if you were alone )

    If you were close to someone and they died, it's intended that you take damage and it will probably be a contributing factor to your death because it will usually eat half your hp if your hp is around 20k

    I agree it's annoying but it does stop large groups from forming, I'm now far more weary of my surroundings and other players health bars..
    That being sad, I think they made it far too easy to obtain this 'easy mode set', every other rewards email is another piece...
    They could at least have made the drop rate a bit lower..
    Many unskilled player run with it, all I see now are magblades, tether, proxy, boom...it gets stale very quick.

    I always knew that so I dismissed it and believed it was just that, a UI error, until yesterday. I've returned after 3 weeks of moving house and I now have super fast broadband. Now I'm able to see all attacks as they happen. 100% 2vX no one else around, I died from a VD proc between 10-25% health as I was pounding BoL. Saw the visual effect, dropped dead. Death recap said there was following attacks, that's the actual UI error, I died from that proc.
