There's no denying magicka has always dominated soloing PVE content. Look at VMA for example. Stamina is OP in PVP though.

Good job!
Although I do think Overload would have made it much easier in the burst phases of the Planar Inhibitor

mobicera

Wow very impressive.
Well deserved congratulations on this accomplishment.

Armitas

awesome job!

Beardimus

Great skills @Vaoh !!

Noob question - how does pet help the caging?

Also second lock you unlock only using one Pin, what skill is that??

Thanks!

Reorx_Holybeard

Awesome work! For The Adjudicator I managed to solo her on normal by just breaking the lock with all the Legerdemain passives. If you break the lock on the first try it seems to work fine but if you fail the first break then the fight seems to reset.

wow




surprised you didn't get a raining mask after all that..

@Vaoh
Impressive... so that means we can buff this dungeon now right ?

Just soloing that on vet, it makes you one crazy dude, but yes, kudos for you on keeping at it and big congrats on finally beating it. I've never downplay sorc. I've always admired sorc for their ability to dish out high damages from a distance. That is my handicap. I'm just a 2H guy (with any of these type games) and with that, have to get in close and personal. With the 2H, I usually have trouble with bosses on vet that have those AOE constantly surrounding them. I'm sure it is doable to solo with a stam DK with a bow (if someone is crazy enough to try.) It is also good from a distance with the bow, but it will just take too long. Thus, vMA is way harder for a DK with 2H and the strong argument that a sorc is the best class to beat vMA with, because they have that ability to dish out high damages without having to get in close and personal like a DK would. Again, awesome job, you crazy freaking dude!

Dymence

Great feat I have to say.

Watched through the whole planar inhibitor fight. That fight, nothing short of insanity. Absolute perfect gameplay from your part. Nicely done.

HawkStan

Crazy dude, gratz! Am i right in thinking this is impossible now? Since i heard streaking doesnt work at planar anymore?

this is exactly my point and you are correct, this is insane damage by magicka and shows proof yet again that stamina abilities is less then magicka even still today!

Great job. Sad to see people actually posting "nerf sorc" crap.

Keep at it.

I don't think a sorc or anything needs to be nerfed, but rather, give back or plus up/increase other classes again. Particularly with a DK, I'm still struggling to break the 3000s mark with my weapon damages (Maelstrom weapon aside.) Yes, you get that extra 3% with slotting a fighter skill, but rarely getting anymore damages worth bragging about if slotting 2 or more fighter skills. Heck, many have 4 pieces divines and getting those stack percentage perks, but with my DK, I'm not getting anything worth with 2 or more. Literally maxed percentage with one freaking piece of divine. Also, I'm barely getting anything noticeable with the undaunted mettle if I include a medium and light pieces to my combo. I run all heavy on my DK, because of the strong/high spell and physical resistance. I tested again with comparison of 5 mediums, but my spell/physical resistance were decreased by almost a 1/4. I would literally lose 500 or so weapon damages if I run the mediums, even with that 12% weapon damages 5-pieces medium perks. I heard that DK was nerfed because people were complaining that they were too powerful, once upon a time, but has DK been nerfed that much? So, I'm not an advocate of anything being nerfed, just increase whatever classes seemingly disadvantaged.. like a stam DK! Again, congrats, Vaoh!

Cradle of Shadows next?

Ty!

Funny you mention Vet Cradle next! I've already soloed all but Velidreth on my first (and only) solo run. Then I got kicked to the login screen and everything reset...... so yes! Vet Cradle is next

Nice
Any attempts on ruins of mazzatun or imperial city prison so far?

I won't attempt Vet Ruins of Mazzatun because the final boss is impossible to solo thanks to the Hallucination mechanic.

I have thought about Vet Imperial City Prison. Definitely gonna give it a try to see if I can bypass Ibomez's attack that must be interrupted. My pet may be able to take the beating! If not, there is little else I can do

Is it possible to Solo ICP? The levers right before the Wardens would stop you, no?

Congrats on finally getting this, by the way.

Feels like only yesterday you were looking for advice on mitigating the PI dots. Well done.

Great feat, truly.

However, I would like group content to remain group, if you know what I mean.
vMA is hard enough for most people, and a great feat to pull that one.
It is designed to be soloed though, unlike group dungeons.

I would like ZOS to incorporate more "solo barriers" into the new dungeons.
Although, I was pretty convinced all the DLC dungeons had some solo barriers, you managed to prove me wrong
Cages are meant to be a barrier, pets override them.
Planar was meant to have barrier mechanics, you managed to overshield them.

Btw, I thought it was impossible to solo that dude in CoS? Dranos Valedor? After he jumps on all players and leaves runes below them, he chains you to the ground with two adds that need to be interrupted. Is it possible to survive that hit?

Ibomez is supposed to be the solo barrier in vICP. Even then, if you somehow manage to pass him, it would be really hard to survive two Hoarvors attacking you simultaneously with the Abomination. Even then, there are two levers right after him (although I am pretty sure you can streak fast enough to pull both in quick succession, man those Sorcs really have it ALL for solo gameplay )

Ruins have the poison phase of Xal-Nur behemoth to make solo a pain, along with the statue mechanic on the final boss.

But hey, if you managed to override WGT, I am sure most of those mechanics can and will be bypassed.

Sorcs op need more nerf?

Cryptical

The way to defeat solo barriers like the two levers in ICP or the two pressure plates in direfrost is to have a friend come along and simply sit out the fights as a corpse on the floor.

yeah because a magicka NB can't one shot a group pf people, now do that with a stam NB.

Vaoh

Thank you everyone!

I forgot about the levers in vICP. Had I attempted and managed to defeat Ibomez, I'd still get stuck. No Vet ICP solo I guess

To the #nerfsorc players who aren't kidding around - the only reason I could solo this was because I was given the tools to do it. I'm talking about Streak, which makes it possible (ever-so slightly) to take on the Inhibitor. That's just the design of the skill. Nothing OP about it. Keep in mind I make it look easy in the video and I'm sure we can agree that it does not look very easy! We can't say a class is OP because one player soloes the "tougher" Vet dungeons with it.

@Dubhliam
The first two bosses were surprisingly easy. Dranos is soloable if you use a Pet to take the beating for you. This fight focuses a lot on keeping your pet alive or else he'll chain you down asap and it's game over.

Not the same Wouldn't be a true "solo"....

So... basically vCoS is soloable.

I would very much like to see the chaos of Velidreth solo with all those blue balls crawling on the ground

Damn I'm impressed, kudos!

Flowersquisher

nice job, watched your video the other day when you couldn't get past PI. Thoroughly impressed.

Are you serious? Have you personally played a Nb bomb build or the rng proc heavy attack build?

They are far and few compared to anything stamina.

Leave the off topic, pvp comments to the pvp section.

Nerf magicka sorcs.
grats to you.
