When to do Vet Level

McNewk

Hey so I wanted to test the waters and see what you guys think would be the best time to start doing vet dungeons. I'm at CP 212 sorc mag and I think I have some pretty good dps for my level and gear but I still find that people don't want to do a dungeon when I'm there. Should I wait till I'm 300 or 400 , or what do you guys think?

You can absolutely do vet dungeons at your CP. You may find some challenge either from difficulty - if you're not quite ready for them - or from elitism - from ***bags - if you go for the DLC dungeons (ICP, WGT, Cradle, Mazz).

All of the base-game dungeons, however, are definitely doable at your CP. If you want a more detailed response then posting your general build up here will probably get you some more insightful replies. If you let us know what platform you're on then it's likely that you'll find some nice folk here who will run you through a few vet dungeons to get you used to it.

Most of us forum trolls can't really answer that now. Characters are either under level 50, or our capped CP. The level scaling seems to work pretty darned well.

Bear in mind there's a learning curve that has nothing to do with whether your character is well built and geared up. If you're pc/na I'll go anyplace you'd like with you.

Find a tank friend. Find a zone where people don't really want the gear. Then find a world boss in that zone for your tank friend to hold, while you kick the crap out of it. If you can kill it by yourself in about 2 minutes then you have a reasonable build/gear/rotation to do vet dungeons in a reasonable timeframe.

I'm actually running with a 5pc julianos (all divine) and a 5pc elegant. I just chose whatever I could get since I'm still needing to get a full monster set still and possible some will power jewelry. Also I have that shadow mundus stone thing. Everything either has max mag or spell damage Off the top of my head I would say my stats are (note everything is only epic, or less)

30k max magic
1500 magic recovery
2000 spell damage (staff) 2500 spell damage (dw)
47% crit chance

Since I mainly just do pve I've kept a lot of aoe skills on so my first bar is:

force shock, liquid lightning, wall of whatever, bound aegis, and inner light, and that big elemental ultimate

second bar:

dark conversion, boundless storm, power surge, hardened ward, bound aegis

overload bar (where I keep a lot of my single target skills):


crystal fragments, daedric curse, endless fury, bound aegis, and inner light

I manage to rotate though fairly well between aoe and single target skills and then I just use the aoe mostly on mobs. Ultimately I'm just thinking that is a CP thing and maybe not having legendary equipment or glyphs. I do however manage to stay alive for the most part and I've always been the only one left to save the team, I've even tanked a few times

I'm 100% one of those elitist scum bags many talk about.

I can honestly say you're fine.

SUB 200 cp I kick granted. No let's give him a go... none of that removed.

Above 200 cp I'll 100% give anyone a go and I think most feel the same here it gives you time to attain sets at that cp160 level which are considered end game, julianos, tbs, night mothers, etc etc.

Jump straight in mate, get a good rotation going, know your class, listen to instructions from more experienced people no doubt you'll be able to smash them all out.

Maybe in ICP or Cradle I'd remove you but for the most part your sweet.

MY HONEST opinion above.

I will happily PUG any non-DLC vet dungeon with any player willing to learn regardless of their CP, but I will admit I'm more at ease when the finder gets me a CP200+ group - as more CP usually means it's more likely the others know their dungeon roles.

(I'm max CP, tank - and a huge fan of the group tool, since I have met many awesome people with it).

gear and cp doesnt matter directly, in the end its up to whether you can pull out the dps numbers or not. I'd probably say to do things SMOOTHLY and not risk getting kicked:

15k for all vanilla vet dungeons normal mode

20k for all vanilla vet dungeons hardmode, and IC vet normal mode

25k for IC vet HM, SotH vet normal

30k for SotH vet HM

these numbers are strictly single target static dps, obviously a lot of bosses either have adds or move a *** ton, buts its a good guideline

Is that 15-20-25k per rotation? I.e endless hail-light attack-venom-light-rend-light etc etc

no overall damager per second from all sources over a sustainable period of time, say a minute or 2.
