How do you solo normal dungeons...

bloodthirstyvampire

And is it possible with a stamblade as i refuse to play anything else

Yes you can, if you have cp the enemy attacks will barely hurt you.

Robo_Hobo

Yeah you can solo normal dungeons with a stamblade, that's my favorite playstyle, even if it is harder than going in with my magsorc.

The main thing you need to be able to solo group content is self-heals, and aoe abilitys. For a stamblade that's Vigor and whirling blades/steel tornado, and endless hail/barrage. Caltrops is nice too.

Edit: Start out with normal fungal grotto 1/spindleclutch 1/banished cells 1, those are some of the easiest. Then try out some others and work your way down the line and see how far you can get. practice makes perfect

Interesting i have 515 cp right now but im still a scrub if i can get a suitable set i will train in rotation and ability

It is very easy with a magplar or magsorc. Stamblade is basically playing the game on hardmode IMO.

Thats the idea bit more of a challenge and anybody that does dungeons on stamblades are better players i agree

Have you done vMSA? If yes then any dungeon normal mode is doing normal MSA on easy mode.
Regarding Stam lade, nothing is wrong with that as long as you have your Damage/ Resource management and Self Heal figured out.
So go crazy ...

You can solo both normal and public dungeons with a Stamblade. vMSA can also be done.

I am assuming you are solo player and not done vMA nor doing dungeons as a group nor trials nor PvP. Instead of picking a BiS build, take something cheaper and slower. The best builds assume alot to be able to work, like max CP and certain skills and awful lot of grinding.

You need to be your DPS, healer and tank. So make yourself a tank and a healer. I suggest you take 2H as main weapon and include Rally and Brawler to skillset. Then make sure your gear, skills and setup gives enough regen to spam Brawler endlessly. Then you can grind down any enemy in normal dungeons. Rally give healing and Brawler's damage shield gives tanking. I sometimes even use Brawler against bosses because of that damage shield.

E.g. Hunding Rage or Night Mother*5, Agility jewelry, Night Silence*3 are relatively easily accessible to everybody. Either use regular food or do Orzorga's quests in Wrothgar to get special food that gives health/stam regen. Having few points in health or having one or two Agility rings with Health trait helps in dungeons.

This is surely not a high DPS build, but very resilient, and the idea is to slowly be able to kill big packs of mobs and survive bosses with adds. All this is doable with very simple rotation. Start first with just Rally, then five-six Brawlers rotation. Feel free to add more skills like Siphoning Attacks and e.g. bow backbar for more DoTs. Gather mobs in front of you by kiteing/circling. Watch your health and ranged mobs.

All dungeons require knowledge of their special mechanisms, and there is no way around other than to learn them. Some dungeons have group mechanisms like in Direfrost Keep two players have to stand on two platforms simultaneously to get forward. Some dungeons have DPS checks. E.g. in City of Ash 1 last boss spawns flame athronacs. you either need to kill the boss fast or kill any new athronac before the next to keep the fight stable. And killing athronacks keeps the fire damage manageable for a vamp .

Check out Andy S on youtube.
He has Flawless Conquerer in VMA with every class in the game.

Anything is possible if you put in a minimal amount of effort, searching youtube, although everything will be harder after the next patch. Figure it out now and adjust after the patch is probably the best advice.

@Gilliamtherogue can do it.

I solo norm dungeons (the easy ones ppl) on my magnb. I'm sure it can be done on your stamnb. Just get it out of your system before Morrowind drops.

Xylphan

Some dungeons are easily solo-able. Some are difficult. Some are impossible due to mechanics.

With the new changes, soloing will become more difficult.

I have a hard time doing it on anything without a shield. Guess i need that safety net. But I have done some of the easiest on stamblade and stamplar. Vigor is key.

Get a friend. 2 man is so much easier and fun with a friend.

I prefer groups but i want to branch out to solo play i have done trials without dying because everybody else was so good i tried vma but got slaughtered i'm a veteran in pvp rank

Totally agree, if you've done Vmsa, you can solo dungeons easily, cos you'll have enough dps, self heal and resistance and playing skills.

waterfairy

You can do it as a stamblade...until june that is.

Let me guess, you don't have vigor.

And main rotation goes: Snipe, light attack and repeat.

Cheers!
