There's a dude on PC EU (not sure what the @ handle is, but the char is Nyx Assassin) that plays BGs with a similar build, but with even more cancer sprinkled. He plays a single-target bomblade build.
He arms a Proxy Det, Cloaks up, then Teleport Strikes in to land a LA+Incap. Teleport Strike from Shadowy Disguise is a guaranteed single target crit, which will proc Caluurion with 100% success if it's not on cooldown.
So the fight begins with you taking Teleport Strike, Caluurion, Proxy Det, LA+Incap damage and being stunned. If you don't foresee and block this in no-CP, it's RIPeroni pepperoni as Alcast would say. And if you somehow survive this, then there's always the Zaan proc which will come from LA+Concealed spam, while you are defiled and he's doing 20% extra damage.
Glad we still have proc sets doing all the damage. You’d think that reigning in Viper was a lesson, but apparently that’s one thing of the past long forgotten.

That sounds awfully op for single target fights but sub par for group/support. And it’s also yet another reason why BGs with noCP are terrible... they simply don’t work after ZOS spent the last 2 years “balancing” classes around CP....
Yea I agree 100%. I really don't understand why ZOS would nerf viper and other proc sets in one patch, then proceed to add new cancer to the game in the form of caluurion, plagueslinger, doylemish and more... I was so glad the proc meta was over, but ZOS just doesn't seem to have the originality to come up with something else.Glad we still have proc sets doing all the damage.
