Hi,
So, I built a NB DW and maxed almost everything, medium armor, DW, assassination, siphoning.
But wasn't able to find groups as a DD, so I decided to build a resto staff / light armor healer (easier to find a group).
Now, I've got bar 1 with : Killer's Blade, Ambush, Blinding Fury, Blood Craze, Whirling Blades.
And bar 2 for heals with resto staff and siphoning skills.
And Soul Tether for ultimate.
So , to survive in vet areas it's just great, I can go from 20% Hp to 100% in like 3 seconds.
I do love my NB for solo content.
The problem is with veteran dungeons. I don't have enough skills to heal vet dungeons, so I tried again to find groups as a DD. And I did, but :
First ,
I feel like melee DDs are almost impossible to play in vet dungeons.
For example : Banished cells > keeper Imiril : you need to Dps adds (who are doing AoEs) with already several AoEs all around their spawn point, and if you're not quick enough the boss respawns and cast a huuuge AoE that even my dodge (hello stamina eater) can't avoid ... meanwhile the guy with a bow is standing far away from all that shi...stuff, peacefully dps-ing.
It's the same for every MMO , I know, but ESo is hard... like... TSW hard !
So, I just feel that you can't play a melee DD in ESo vet dungeons. Or am I wrong ?
Second,
I don't seem to do any Dps at all... Whirling blades is total crap , you have to consume all your stamina to kill a simple banekin pack. (Even with the power boost from Sap Essence)
Meanwhile the mage near you is just two shooting them with his destr staff. So I guess I NEED to lvl a destr staff, right ? (play as you want they said)
And to burst one target I have... Blinding Fury, and that's it. (Plus, I'm not sure, but I think the +30% damage bonus from Ambush is only for the first strike of Blinding Fury making this combo useless.)
I also have Killer's Blade, sure, but only when the target is down to 24% ...
So I can't do effective AoEs, and I can't really burst one target.
What should I do ? just give up DW for vet dungeon and make a destr staff/bow build ?!
thank you
