VMA weapon skin

✭✭Such a proud moment when you can equip your VMA destro stave for the first time. If you earned it (regardless of bow, stave, 1H, etc), why not agree with the OP's thought ...?0 -
bhlegit✭✭✭yeah im talking about pvp i said already in pve they are still used. It doesnt HAVE to be flawless it could just be from vet but either way NOT on crown store0 -

Though the bigger question is, now that we have 2-piece bonuses from 2-hand weapons, why bother running vMA... (the destro staff and bow, are the correct answers to that question, but only two viable weapons dropping from the hardest solo content in the game points to a reword - either a nerf of vMA [unnecessary] or a buff of the vMA weapons [unlikely]).
To be fair, those 2 weapons are able to be used by like 50-75% of builds
Right, but my point is that the rest of the vMA weapons are useless. So people grind out this crazy-learning-curve content in hopes of getting just one or two weapon types (destro [and let's be real, probably just inferno] or bow), and end up deconning everything else. In my opinion, it makes the arena not worth it if you can't put the other weapons to good use on something else.
The Lightning is actually pretty useful to niche Sorc builds
in pve yeah but in pvp no not since lost the spell dmg bonus, unless ur using wall in pvp (in which which case ur probs a zerglord) and even then 5th piece bonus would probs be better now
Yes because PvP builds TOTALLY use Maelstrom weapons

✭✭✭✭Before the last couple weeks I'd have agreed with flawless, but after having TWO flawless titles stripped because of bugs (round 8 flame caster not where his model is and thus uninteruptable, round three lamia ground aoe locking you perpetually in knockback doing stupid damage every half second) I'm going to pass on flawless requirement. Rest of the idea is cool. I'd be way more inclined to run if you could sell the pages, though.0 -

The enchantment is still the same though. It's just a set bonus, and the addition of adding regular enchantments far outweighs 180~ spell damage.
I don't remember anyone ever going after Maelstrom weapons for PvP except for very specific builds going after the two-hander.
Most people just went after the Master Weapons if they were going for Arena weaps.
So you may have done vMA for that specific reason, but not a lot of other people did. Most of that time was usually better spent in vDSAEdited by Valrien on August 22, 2018 5:01PMValrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)

✭What would be nice is a daedra skin or something for completing vma or getting the flawless conqueror title. That polymorph is useless since we can't even change the armor, etc.Edited by Leogon on August 22, 2018 5:02PM1 -

you are wrong mate it used to be one of the most used build in pvp bs black rose vma axe, the vma weapons used to have a unique enchant which granted the effect (eg dot on crit rush for the 2h) AND 189 wep dmg AND you could put poison on it. I think youre getting confused.0 -

Well I could get on board with that. I think most of the weapons are pretty ugly but the maul is one of my favorite looking weapons.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA0 -

I'm well aware of what vMA weapons used to be. And the ability to use proper enchants and poisons has made them much better.
Also Black Rose was an overhyped set that no one ever used despite people saying it was the only thing they'd ever use when it came out.Valrien Dravic -- Level 50 Dunmeri Sorcerer (EP)
