I have never seen a tank complete vet maelstrom. Is it doable?

    I think that's the first time i've ever seen the chest drop an item related to the build that was used to complete the arena! Weird concept, right?

    Wow, that's impressive. And using Morkuldin of all things! I'll have to think about this.

    Definitely possible, but running vMA on a tank build isn't going to net a very good time. Great for getting that Flawless run (if you can still dish out enough damage to keep up ofc), not so great for getting leaderboard loot... unless the class is not competitive (as is the case with DKs and NBs, at least on NA right now).

    I did a run in my DK heavy armor PVP build with only a few changes. The score sucked because it took forever, but it was doable.

    My plan was to use it for the flawless title on my mDK, but I think its more trouble than its worth. I got to the last boss without dying (after like 90 minutes) and it took me a few tries as I am so used to a straight burn. I will definitely go back to a more traditional setup.

    I think I recommended you the heavy attack build for the flawless run on the dk already, but it really is easy mode. So if you want an easy way to do it you should try that! I got mine on the third run and am between 540-550k scores since then for the weekly...

    Could you share the said build ?


    Generally speaking: I passed vma not long ago and im looking for a char and build to farm my weapons more "easily" . Any good advise on the class to use ? I heard Stamina sorcerer were great but I dont know if the small nerf they got made them useless or similar compared to magicka for vma ?

    It's in my signature, the dk build has a vMA version in it. Got an (old/1T) full run video there too. Still works like a charm though.

    @Masel92

    You did, and I just havent been bothered. Haha. In the last 3 months, I have run VMA twice on my mDK. The first time, I just did a straight up DPS build, had like 3 deaths, and finally got a Sharp Inferno, which admittedly killed the motivation. So then I didnt go back in there until the patch. I then ran it again for the bust, and this time I thought I would give rattlecage a try just for fun. Made it to the last boss without dying, but just didnt have the DPS i was used to in that fight and wiped a few times. Got a sword and board from the chest and 2 crappy daggers from the weekly. Point is that my motivation is barely there. If you are serious about No Death, you usually need to actually run it a few times in a row. I am just kind of over that place if you know what I mean. I will probably get back to it at some point, but i am still busy collecting all the new shineys for my house. :smile:

    I'm hoping it won't be too much of a hassle on a hybrid tank warden

    Would love to see a heavy armor full Impen, S/B Stam DK video plz.
    I think it is the worst vMA set-up...

    Because you know "play the way you want"... I am pretty confident that less that 5 people succeeded with this setup.
    Mag DK has pretty good class self sustain with their dps abilities, contrary to Stam that has to slot dedicated heal abilities.

    I said that live on ESO live when they presented the arena, they said, it is doable in any configuration... well not really it seems.

    Full Heavy armor Magicka DK tank. Dual Sword and Board. Stepping into Round 2 of the final arena with 0 deaths. Very doable as a tank, just takes awhile longer.

    Maybe things have changed, but I thought pve enemies could not crit? Wouldn't impenetrable be useless?
