not a single add turned up in the Boggy fight at the end...no wonder it was easy for you

amazing how these macro cheaters always show off about how to solo dungeons and then call it "weaving"

ads don't turn up when you solo it now. I agree it wasn't too hard.

macro cheaters? I don't use macros.

It's animation cancelling and ZOS has said numerous times that it is allowed. It's easy to do too, try it. It's mouse1 then ability then mouse2 in a rhythm.

As mentioned by Legendaryyy this is a build he's used forever with very little changes, I would imagine that continual play of the same build improves your ability to use the few skills available.

However in this case, he would of had to use very situational skills, i.e. potions, self heals (green Dragon blood). This would not be possible if he had Macro's running as he would have to react quickly to his health being low.

There are obviously people who use these Macro's but in the case of these runs by Legendaryyy, as he would need quick reactions to the situations not Macro's, I would suggest he hasn't!

Thanks!

In the vids I often fail to animaton cancel and I missclick an embarassing amount of times. If I had macros that wouldn't happen.

Anyways, I take it as a compliment when people think I'm cheating.

Credit where Credits due, my animation cancelling is getting there slowly, but really need to put more effort to getting to V14 so I can try some of these Solo

whoa... o3o how exactly are you able to pull this off? like, with a special kind of mouse/keyboard? and how are you able to cancel animations?

Its a 6 years old Logitech MX518 and a crappy Roccat ISKU keyboard. hehe

You can google animation cancelling in ESO. You'll get the hang of it with some practice.

I have been competing in different games on a high level since 2001 though. Now I just play ESO for fun cus I'm getting "old", but quick reactions and mashing buttons is still a part of me.

Macro cheaters...... Please stop talking about stuff you know nothing about.. Everyone is accusing others of using macros, when macros can't do anything more than normal play. Animation cancelling is perfectly doable without a macro. In the end it's just a matter of spamming keys faster, woooow so hard

Weaving can be done by anyone. I can do it and I have no idea how to even use macros.

added a video of close combat solo Maw of the Infernal to thread.

how does your spec perform in Update 7?

imredneckson · September 2015

Ok buddy you're a total bada** hands down. Very strong tank build with some good DPS I have never seen someone come close to taking on bosses solo and still coming out of it at almost full health.
