Curious about it. Do you use them for the ability enchantment DoT empower, or the base weapon damage increase, or both, or not at all?

    I would guess that they can still work very well on a stamina DK (since they have 2 of the strongest DoT´s in the game) but on stamblade, stamsorc, stamplar (can´t say anything regarding stamina warden since I haven´t played that one yet) there´re other/better options. Main reason is simply because of the sustain-nerfs, it´s difficult to maintain the empowerd DoT rotation with vMA weapons (with exceptions of course). On a stamina DK you can use a Heavy attack oriented build (40% extra HA dmg from molten arnaments) and still benefit from the empowered dots, and not running low on Resources.

    In PvP there´re some builds that can benefit from vma weapons empowerd DoT, but I don´t see/read about them that often to be honest.....

    Depends on the toon. I find I use them more on my stam sorc as I've plenty of penetration from other sources and need a full set of vicious to keep dps rolling. On my nightblade I swapped weapons to vicious ophidian so I could run a monster helm set.

    They used to be meta for stamblades, but that has changed, post morrowind. However, the vMA bow is clutch for them still.

    Granted they aren't bad. Just not meta these days.

    They need a rotation that is too tight for the sustain changes. You have one perfect rotation with light attacks and since you need to do heavies now and then it *** with your rotation.

    I use the Bow. I have sharpened daggers but dont use em for 2 reasons, annoying rotation and sustain issues. On my stam i use 5 vo 5 spriggans, its not bis but pretty good.
