Any results for the sheer venom change?

Hi gang.

Was anyone able to test how sheer venom performs now that it itself is also an execute?

Just curious.

    It does not proc itself.

    Well it cant proc itself but

    "Sheer Venom:
    This set can now proc on multiple targets from a single hit of an execute attack, but cannot refresh itself on targets.
    This set now deals 8766 damage over 6 seconds, and deals up to 100% more damage to targets below 100%, rather than dealing 8428 damage over 6 seconds."

    Unless I'm reading wrong, it behaves like an execute and does more damage the less hp the target has.

    Seems weak when not in execute, and strongish when in execute, but not particularly strong.

    just pair it with viper or one of the new sets and zaan and go dw 2h with either master swords, blackrose dw, or vma 2h axe.

    You can proc it on multiple enemies with one cast of whirling blades. It's really strong.

    It is really strong currently on live. This change isn't a nerf.

    It's effectively a 2922 aoe dot after using an execute such as whirling blades / executioner (50% health) or assassin's blade (25% health). Will pair nicely with deadly strikes.

    Venomous smite is probably stronger doing 2241 aoe dot after a crit
