FYI, If you solo Spindleclutch 2 (continuation of the story), you'll find out what it's like to not have sustain when you fight Praxin and he drains your stamina and magicka to 0 pretty much the whole fight.

If your curious about the 1 and 2 thing. Originally dungeons had a normal version and some had a vet version. The vet version was a new story with harder content. Then they changed it so every dungeon had a normal and a vet and renamed the original normal dungeons 1 and the vet ones 2. When they made this change they made all the normal dungeons really easy.

They also added hard mode (scroll you read) that typically makes the boss have more health, hit harder, etc.

The hard mode from the#2 dungeons typically has some sort of mechanic instead, which tends to be more interesting. Some of the #1 hard modes are just a bunch of one shots and not really fun to do.

For example, Spindle 1 HM is the spider boss at the end has almost double health and does numerous one shot kills. Spindle 2 HM is the boss sucks life out of prisoners so hard mode is not killing any prisoners (killing them would reduce his healing). Thus Spindle 2 HM is easier than Spindle 1 HM.

Hey, thanks. That's pretty interesting to learn. I guess I didn't notice a scroll because I would have read it.

I tried to solo Selene's Web this morning and couldn't kill Longclaw. All the mobs of cats and the traps on the ground were too much. Gave up.

Glad the OP can solo these things though.

You'll get there. I'm no where near a hard core player. I just keep plugging away at things trying to figure out what works. My damage was painfully pathetic because I really was just shielding and healing then using heavy attacks to regain magicka. The boss was just in the way of my staff. Once I max him out, I hope to try to actually do some damage but if I can live through the attacks eventually they will fall (unless they're healers then I'll probably give up).

Why are the nerfs so OP? I say we need to nerf the nerfs!!!!

Unless your name is PVP, I don't think you are responsible for all the nerfs.

It's fascinating how people always find a way to blame PvP for every single problem in their lives, like ZoS actually spend time tuning PvP or something. Plot twisted, ZoS don't care about PvP, most of their time are spent to develop and improve PvE. How many PvP DLCs were there? A half. How long has Cyrodiil broken? 3 years. How large is the PvP community right now? 1/10 of what it used to be.

Because mobs don't file complaints to ZoS doesn't mean PvP is the cause of most nerfs.

I don't blame you guys I blame the immersionists.

Magicka nightblade has finished it now. Worse run of all. The longest and more unlucky deaths. Still if I can stand through an attack and heal, they'll go down. I don't have a dragonknight magicka build to try it but I know none of my stamina knights have a chance. Not enough healing and resources there. Just taking classes through to see what works and where I need to make adjustments. Definitely need to find some damage increase because these fights take too long. I do think I'm starting to get how to make a build now which has been like something a witch doctor came up with for me. I'm a slow learner apparently but I did clear it. Avoided any notes on the ground too.

Worse fights are those with the mobs of people. So spread out and fire tossing. Spiders get hungry and eat their own so they all eventually move in close. Not sure how the next patch will affect the tempar and sorcerer but the nightblade was literally hanging on by a thread so many times so like I suspected, the weakest class of those three. Maybe stronger than a dk. I may still try with one just to see though.
