    Viper will still be very strong. If anything it gives none dot based burst nightblade's now some sustained damage. Which means we drain stam from players blocking.

    Also the ability to proc Velidreth every second

    I still think i'd use Seleane's. I like having more control over my monster set.

    Is it buffed by thaum now?

    Omg

    Viper was already buffed by Master at Arms though, which is won't anymore.

    Velidreth: This Item Set’s proc now occurs after a 1 second delay, and displays a warning visual on the set wearer when the proc occurs.

    Just a delay. Cool-down still starts before the delay most likely.

    For a ganking nightblade this is a buff. Heavy att> incap and now the 3 seconds after viper is increased by 20%. Looool.
    Now you can use viper to proc poisonous serpent which got buffed with a 50% proc chance and pretty sure it can still double proc off of DW heavy attacks.A new gank matter.

    Viper also just been made a better dueling set now that its a DOT you can use it as a extra dot in a stam dot dueling build.

    Seriously they need to just stop at some point. Let's think about what they really did. Anyone farming for the last year for sharpened weapons just got totally bent over. Anyone farming for viper for the last year just got royally bent over. Etc. problem is they are actually too f***** stupid to see how people like stability more than balance. If they don't just lock it in eventually and let everyone deal with whatever then it will eventually be unplayable. sure everyone was whining about viper but if ZOS just said: "too bad." Then guess what? That's the game and you get a real reward from knowing how to play and deal with it. The way this is going it is legit taking a incredibly bad and horrid direction. I honest to god think I could do better. I really really do. ZOS, I obviously love the game but y'all don't know jack about what players really want and, frankly, I personally feel my patience is running out for you to get it together.

    Meh, doesn't seem too bad.

    Will see how this evolves and adapt accordingly. Kinda hate how NBs rely on burst damage for the get in/ get out playstyle and that's essentially what ZOS is targeting and what players complain about.

    I don't see this breaking the class so might be a nice change of pace.

    I main a Sorc and still think it's time to calm them down moreso than NBs.

    Yes you are correct but you have to acknowledge the RNG rat race. They have to keep you grinding for gear so every few updates they screw with the meta to make sure your back in grinding old content.

    A lot of MMO's do this, its not necessarily nefarious, if they keep things status quo to long people log jam at end game as they gear out. Sure you can roll an alt i suppose.

    @drake88131 The set now has an identity other than doing occasional random invisible burst damage.

    Don't try selling this as something bad

    I saw that setup coming from a mile away. I can't remember if it was last week - but weekend vendor had 1 stam proc set and hircine's veneer (stam sustain). I started wondering if Zenimax had economists that would compile "market data" (how sets sell compared to each other) for purposes of balancing.

    So what you're saying is that you've enjoyed the constant changes and nerfs over the last year or so? You like having to constantly grind the gear to play the same content you used to do but now much later? I'm not talking about viper specifically. I'm talking about the big picture. Problem is there are players and pointlessly vocal forum warriors that can't see the forest for the trees and guess what? ZOS is a big dumb lumberjack that is cutting it all down and not growing any more. Unfortunately they cut the trees down mostly when the forum warriors whine and mark the best trees around. Too many people on this forum r helping them destroy what is the best part of this game. Unsustainable and pointless. For ZOS they think it's great because they still r getting a lot of customers buying their wood (buying the game). Problem is eventually the forest will be gone because they forgot to grow it and they are helping it rot. Most end game players leave this game eventually. People like u are pet of the problem. Something is hard for you to deal with no matter how enjoyable it makes the game for everyone else so you have to scream and complain until you get your way. Stop defending ZOS and justifying what they're doing Bc you want to believe the game will be better some day because of them killing the forest. News flash: it is not better than a year ago. It is not getting better. It will not get better. ZOS is not acting like they like the players and never will. ZOS is likely going to keep treating this game and us players like disposable trash until they have gotten every last cent they can and will move on. You want proof? Read these forums. When does ZOS engage in a reasonable and rational conversation with anyone about what they want to do? When everyone was upset with morrowind patch did they engage us or care? No. they couldn't even be bothered to talk to one funny man in Nebraska that actually had a following. They tell you how it is and are only responsive when someone is licking their boot or if they feel there's some glitch that doesn't really need fixing that they want to fix. Heck even when the consoles became virtually unplayable they don't engage just tell us they are "looking" into it. But don't worry!!! That crazy wrothgar NPC that eats apples with her cheeks will be fixed soon!!!! In my opinion, the direction is bad and the game is starting to become bad. But what do I know? I'm one of the idiots still buying the wood!!!???

    This is the single best change to eso pvp they have done.

    If you are salty about this, its because you enjoy instagibbing people that can't fight back.

    Same damage, now counterable.

    @Drake88131 That's a huge rant that's way off base, again. The Viper change is nice, makes it better as a sustained damage set and reduces the amount of invisible burst in the game. Nerfs aren't some devil magic trying to send our children to hell.


    This game has its problems, one of them is not this change to viper.



    Also: 'people like me' are not your problem. I didn't ask for any nerfs, the pvp in this game is permanently and inherenly unbalanced no matter what. Get a grip and grow up.

    They didn't remove the cooldown of veli, they added a second of animation before it procs right?

    Absolutely right. The one second delay would not be much help for someone whilst stunned by an Ambush.

    You're not even listening. I'm not sure why you're even engaging me if you have no desire to discuss anything with me. Again, as I said, I'm not the one off point. The point of my original post was about a bigger picture than your focus on viper. What you want to do is re direct this conversation and troll so I go off the rails and discuss viper specifically. No but I do like that you actually admit to agreeing with me that "the game has its problems..." but since you clearly just want to insult anything I say as a "rant" that is "off base" while ignoring what I say I'm going to just agree to disagree with you and move on. Let me know next year or two when you quit out of frustration like everyone else will (you will too FYI) how wrong and off base I am.

    So Drake, what do you consider to be the best part of the game that is being destroyed. You failed to mention it. An buckup lumberjack I am sure they work all night and sleep all day on this stuff.
