Newbie to Dungeons: How would you expect a Sorcerer to behave in your group in Fungal Grotto?

TiltedEvo

I got into my first group within ESO which is Fungal Grotto, I was shortly ejected by my group.

How would you expect a Sorcerer to behave in your group in Fungal Grotto?

It may not be anything you did. They may not have liked it if you were under v16 or if you were a Argonian magicka sorcerer DD carrying a sword and board. People tend to kick others if they suspect their build is unconventional or a hybrid or if they think the person is too low of a rank to have enough experience doing that particular dungeon. I don't agree with it but it does happen.
Also, it may not have been any of that at all. Some people kick others in order to get their friend in and still get the xp bonus for using group finder.

...killing the things!

But also - agreed on the above post, there can be alot of motives / judgement.

Basically, most people are accepting enough to let you go through a trash pull or two before asking you what your build is like (if even applicable at that point). And as the above said, there are always those that want min max for convenience, and will kick anyone wearing cloth if they have a tail.

Best advice is to join a guild, and cue with one other person if not. If either of you has crown it SHOULD follow, meaning you won't get kicked. Nothing stopping others from leaving though, but that is out 1, not out 3.

So basically, the people I was playing with, were *** and I should join a Guild to find nicer people to play with? lol

when were you kicked? right away or after fighing some ads? I would assume your DPS being a sorc, if your not killing things effectively than your probably not going to complete the dungeon and why do I want to spend hours in fungal grotto just to fail! what level are you? as the second poster said it all pretty much most lower level vets will get the boot. I like to give people a shot at least at a first boss, but if I explain the mechanics to you and we still continue to fail then I'm not going to keep trying.

First of all, you need to have some kind of aoe spell for mob packs. Impulse (last spell of destro staff)+liquid lightning (storm calling) will be great for your char. If you dont have impulse yet, put lightning on the group, use elemental wall, lightning form to do aoe damage.
For bosses, you need a spammable attack (and its NOT crystal fragments). Use force shock from destro staff.
Also, do not use pet builds in dungeons, unless you solo them.

And f course, play smart and dont stand in red circles and block mobs heavy attacks. And stick to your role (dps, healer or tank), do not spam heals if you joined as a dd for example. Later on, you'll be able to add dps on support role, but while youre learning, play one role at once.

This is easy to fix man just goto setting and turn off the enable to to get kicked option then no one can kick you.

I cannot see that option? Where abouts is it please?

First tell us what you did. Your build, level etc... And then we might be able to find out why you were kicked. ie: you're a heavy armor wearing sorc hard casting crystal frags.

Nowhere. He/she/it is just trolling you.

That aside, it's pretty much been answered already. There isn't quite enough information in your first post to give a definitive answer - what role were you trying to perform(and queued as)? If you were dps, were you doing any significant damage? If you were healer, were you succeeding at keeping you teammates up? If you were tank, were you taunting? Did you die? Did they say anything to you before kicking you? Could be that you were underperforming in your role(which is more than understandable in your first dungeon, what level are you?), could be they just wanted to get a friend in instead or whatever. Kicking someone without an explanation whatsoever is mean either way imo.

However, you did get some solid advice up there;) I'm just going to add it may generally be a good idea to tell people it's your first time in the dungeon so they don't try to rush through and yell at you if you don't know mechanics. Not everyone is going to be patient with a newer player(such is the nature of people), but a lot of us will be, just let us know you need it because unless you're level 12, by now people usually assume it's your run #554285391 of the place and get frustrated if it turns out you can't keep up with them

On your main bar, hardened ward and overload. On all your other bars since you get 3, hardened ward and overload.

Hi Evo
There are a couple of things which can lead to you being kicked.
Some of those things are related to communication problems. If you are new to a dungeon and do not know the mechanics, please say so to your group. Especially in a weaker group it is more important to know the mechanics of bosses.
Secondly please communicate with your teammates if you have trouble with some mechanics. If you ask nicely, most players will not mind explaining the mechanics to you. If they kick you because you are inexperienced, than you might be better of at the moment anyways since you will learn much less in said group anyway. Communication is a important Factor of playing in a Group.
Second thing: be aware of the rather, and regrettably steep learning curve this game offers. The PvE Solo areas are considarably easier than the 4 Person Dungeons, which are in turn again very easy compared to the Trial content. Variations exist of course, but in general the PvE Solo Level content is effordlesly playable without good equip, buffood and a distinct role. In Dungeon Groups in turn, especially if you are a newer player, you should have a basic understanding of your role and try to fullfill it as good as possible. Important again is the communication, that you still are learning and are new to this kind of content.
Basic things that will help you in Group Content if you are new(er) :
1) Play to your selected role - there are possibilitys for hybrid play in the simple group content, and especially the supportroles of Tank and Heal may have some leeway to strengthen the group via buffs and additional damage, but only if they do not let their main roles slack
2) Buffood and Stat rising Buffood at that, not the regeneration stuff, is nearly mandatory for PvE groups, especially since the damage of your abilitys scales of the Maximum of the stat they are using. In general for DD and Heal Blue buffood Max Life and Magica/Stamina is what you want. As a Tank it is to your liking to use blue or purple food, Green food is generally inferior (there might be some exeptions but those are cornercases)

I was in a dungeon with a sorcerer the other day using pets and sometimes throwing a light staff attack. My tank was doing more damage than she was. We didn't kick her, but we are a pretty forgiving lot and were willing to 3-man it. The point is, as others said, nobody is going to kick you for being a sorcerer, what they MAY kick you for is signing up as a dps but not putting any out, or signing up as a healer and not healing, etc. People may be even less forgiving if they ask you about what is going on, and you don't respond, so communicate. The hard core dungeoners who can't stand anyone less than elite in play skills don't typically do dungeons with strangers anyway, just selected guild mates, so you probably won't find anyone too strict.

If you are new to it, announce that up front. If they can't stand it and kick you right away, it saves you a lot of time making it part way through then getting kicked when they see you botch something.
