Honestly, the weapons arn't that great. They take up 2x set buffs now of which one with be a 5 pc. Even on the back bar only it is a big loss since you still spend about 30% of your time there. Maybe they pay if the 5 pc loss is a proc that you determine the activation of but is is all slender and situational. I think more times than not the weapons are a dps loss.
Except the vMA staff and bow in PvE is a requirement for top level dps. Certainly not a dps loss.
The part with the bow is actually not so true, unless u talk 1-2% difference. my vDSA bow actually outperforms vMA bow BY FAR on single target. Only VERY LARGE AOE fights spike up with maelstrom bow.
If by any it’s not by far. In end game content when is it only single target? Put 3-4 dummies together and use poison injection on each one every rotation vs using a vMA bow with endless hail every rotation. VMA bow/staff outperforms any other setup in pve no question. In pvp master would do better. Not arguing that the master bow can’t get it done or that it is or isn’t better single target but in pve end game the master bow is lesser than.

It's mostly in highly mobile single target fights that the Master bow is actually slightly better because it sticks on the boss. Ideally you have one in your inventory for those cases. At least if you're into score runs.0 -

✭✭✭I don't see how people run it so many times. I'm fairly patient and not easily bored, but vMA bores me quick. Most of the pve content in general does these days. I played too many other great MMOs back in the day. Most people who seem to really enjoy the pve side of ESO haven't played many other MMOs. ESO is lacking in many areas.
I agree, I only really have fun in vMA during the boss fights, trash mobs make me want to kill myself cause of how boring they are.
Depends on which fights. Arena 5 can be quite stressful for me as a Sorc because the ranged mobs apply a TON of shield pressure and I don't always get enough time for Power Surge to work its magic
Try it on a stamblade xD

Is it easier on a Stamblade?Valrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)

✭✭✭✭✭It really is not worth stressing out. Take it a little at a time and you will get it. When it gets to be a little to much take a break.0 -

✭Count yourself lucky, you can re-trait them now so all you have to do is get the weapons once and then re-trait them. A lot of us farmed the arena like mofos 'cuz we couldn't re-trait the weapons.0 -

No its worse. Stamblade live by killing quickly while Mag classes can survive basically everything with shields alone.0
