Asking for help from experience Vtrial members.

Brutusmax1mus

Hey everyone. I'm a leader that had primarily done pvp up until the no Cp shenanigans that accomplished nothing... And my team and i have decided to progress through veteran trials. We are on console if that means anything.

I'd love to get up to date information on what's working best, group class composition, tips, essential gear and support tactics, necessary builds/skills/behaviors for classes, etc...

Essential I'd like to speak to and hear from knowledgeable individuals who have been there and succeeded. As much information as you can would be great. Feel free to message me in private of you don't feel like going into it on this page.

If you're on ps4 id love to chat if it's easier for you.

Thanks for the help and support. We are currently getting everyone geared up to start getting the trials drops and plan on doing our first veteran trial in 2 weeks.

Hello,

Lukums1 - PS4 I suggest you add me lol.

I run the Australian teams 4 nights a week and we have done very well for our short period of being together.
Would offer you a spot to see how we run communicate if you're up for running in Sydney Australian Time 8pm LOL if you're not US.

Team comp

Vhr - Main tank / off tank don't really need the off tank but top boss you can hold him behind pillars stack adds and burn this way I can explain in detail at a later date.
1 DK rest Mag DPS - avoid Stam where possible Mag DPS just too strong plus they don't have spots for them in vAA.

Get everyone to DPS dummy and hit 25k self buffed this means you can easily smash out vhr/vaa/vso.

Tank/off tank runs warhorns
Healers run warhorns and barrier when required ( last boss vhr ) nice barrier for shield spread mitigation
1 DPS runs warhorn (4 horns) I found has almost 100% uptime

1 Healer with Mending (obtained from vAA) debuffs monsters
1 Healer Worm
Both running SPC sets

This will get you through vhr.

For vAA -

All Mag DPS - reason being you don't want stam on last fight killing off reflections 1 is fine, but no more than that simply because you'll have Temps/DKS front line also which turns into a mess 4 in middle ++ will explain later.

Same as above, gear and composition apart from you only need 1 tank for vAA as (spread last boss) will never hit anyone with chain (don't have to block either)

For vSO -

Same comp as above for vHR you'll need 2 tanks, strats are bit tricky so again can go through this in length on coms much easier.

Ultimately recap.

4 horns
mending
spc
mag dps
2 tanks apart from vSO
ele drain on healer x1
lightning staff on healer x 1 (group healer) for off balance extra 10% dps for the group
Mag dps running 75 points in therm blue tree (A MUST)
sorc running pets on all trials apart from vMOL is a NO NO as they die to boss mechanics constantly in the first 3 trials.

Any further questions shoot them here and add me to PSN Lukums1

Also join me here on our discord for trial strats which I can share with you:

Thanks Luke. That's what we are going to be working towards for composition. Right now we are going to be running 3 stamina and 3magicka as dd since we have so many stamina users.

I'll add you shortly, thanks for the insight!

Any reason in particular magicka is such an overwhelming favorite? Everyone I've talked to said go all mag.

You're welcome.

It's just because of the changes to flame staff 8% extra damage mainly.

Also, Stam are clunky in vet trials vAA especially when being in close proximity of boss (environmental effects) which cause for unnecessary damage as well as vMOL with curses on first boss and general survive ability.

Add me in, see what I can do to give you a big of a boooster into vet trials for your group.
