- 1x Maelstrom's Ice Staff (infused)
- 1x Magnus' Gift restoration staff (powered - purple absorb magicka enchant)

Class

Side Notes
- I plan on solo'ing all dungeons and their variations (I and II) on veteran difficulty, and defeating the final boss with hard mode active.
- I plan on doing the above with ALL classes (should be an absolute breeze).
- I didn't include videos of the other bosses in the dungeon, because of how easier they were. If you all want proof them being solo'd, I'll happily include those videos for you all.
- I wanted to start this project of sorts after being inspired by my good friend @Vaoh having solo'd VWGT recently, and since I have solo's numerous things since I've been playing — I figured I'd just document it.

As impressive as the achievements are, I hope you realise where this is heading for all sorcs.

Awesome job!

I got all the way to the Goblin King on my Stamplar, gave it a couple tries, then gave up.

Brrrofski

This after wgt soloed on sorcs.

Everyone's going to accidentally get sorcs nerfed again... Slippery slope!

Still get an awesome though.

Where exactly is this heading? What will they nerf? Posting what you did 1 would assume you know exactly what's going to happen, so please, enlighten us.

People said the same thing on @Vaoh thread about him soloing vet WGT.

I'm just curious, you seem to know what's going to happen, we must know.

This only shows sorcs are good at soloing group content. Too bad there isn't much point in doing that.

Mic1007

Soloing group content isn't that much of a game changer. If he could solo a Vet Trial, then it would completely unbalanced and potentially throw off leaderboard scores, which is bad. A Vet Dungeon? All you get for soloing those is a feeling of accomplishment.

Good work!

Unfortunately this will probably end up getting sorc's nerfed.

VAA!!! Here I come, bruh!

Getting past that 12-person barrier will be quite the achievement all on its own.

You're assuming the devs make logical decisions based on what they see.

Poor poor fools

Gz you OP Sorc you

We need to nerf mag asap

raidentenshu_ESO

Leave us Magicka sorcs alone already!

Robbmrp

Sorcs are fine....NERF SORC PETS!

Vaoh

Nice! I see I inspired you!

Just so you know, I also planned on soloing every Vet dungeon as well. Def glad you're gonna do it now though so I don't have to post the vids doesn't mean I won't do it though in the future.

This is definitely not easy. Personally, I'm gonna stick to the dungeons that should be absolutely impossible solo.... meaning Vet White Gold Tower/Vet Cradle of Shadows (for the time being).

Thanks, and yeah it was pretty inspirational to see you do what you did. I'll be attempting to solo everything, and with every class. It's pretty easy, but requires a lot of caution to: Rotations, resource management, situational awareness, and all things happening around you. Once I get Burning Spellweave, and a divines Llambris helmet to match my divines Llambris shoulders — my MagDK should be able to perform just as high (if not higher) than my Sorc (mathematically speaking).

By the way, hit me up on PSN when you're ready to start farming gear. I've been waiting for ya. ^_~

I admire the effort and dedication of op. He earned it.

But, on the other hand, when VETERAN GROUP content is easily solo'ed by a player it says something is wrong: either the class is way too op or the game is way too easy. I'd say that the vanilla dungeon does need a big update, not only a buff on health and damage.

You missed the part where he said he would do it with all classes, and said it would be easy. I think he started with our mess of a Sorc class first because it would be difficult.

- I plan on doing the above with ALL classes (should be an absolute breeze).

How do you plan on getting past dire frost keep

Unless they changed those... what 4 dungeons? You can't solo them?

Bingo. And that's exactly why I started with Sorcs. Specifically magicka-based Sorcs. Even more specific, a pet build. Everyone loves to rag on how magicka sucks and how pets should be removed due to how bad they perform regularly, therefore why not start with what others feel to be the weakest of the weak (although PetBuild Sorc is my main lol)?

I pull the lowest numbers with that character (as you saw in that video), so I figured I'd be the hardest to get done and out of the way due to how sketchy it is.

Did you miss my pet build or Thelon's pet build?

We both have video showing us solo vet dungeons...

The posts on those are pretty positive

I've never seen your build or seen you in action, but salute to you for using pets. I love pet builds. They're my absolute favorite. And as for @Thelon he's the reason who encouraged me to pursue pet builds to begin with. I'd follow his posts on TF regularly, and study any and all I could about his tactics and strategies. The guy is brilliant.

It's in my signature just fyi.

Actually bringing it back. Daedric Shepherd.

Uses Trinimac set (crazy!) anyway...

You didn't post skills? Was wondering what u were using. My new version only runs 1 pet, i can't watch the vid, but the pic looks like you also using only one?

Lizzrdd

How??? My main is a CP 273 sorc, and I love to play casters. I KNOW Im not getting the max DPS out of it, but I cant seem to find a viable build. Any help would be welcome. Just to clarify, I havent run any Trials, and havent run many group dungeons. I just came back after about a year away.
