How to build up a summerset trial team ?

LilySix

Hello guys !

Here is my problem : I play on PS4

*end of the thread*

Ugh... Not really in fact :P

As some of you know we don't have dps recap, add on etc on console. It takes us a long time to test how a trial group is efficient or not. I'm wondering is the PC community can help us.

For morrowind our DD's team was like this : 2 mag NB, 2 stam NB (or stamsorc and stamdk), 1 stamdk, 1 stamplar.

Is it the same for Summerset ?
It seems that groups go for 2 stamnb, 4 magnb, 2 mag soso and ? ?
I'm not writting about cloudrest but for the other trials.

Also who's the best to trust for stuff and rota ?

Thank you a lot if you can help,

Love from France

You could always buy a trial dummy and a stop watch. Have your raid with full buffs take on one of the big dummies and do the math. Shame console doesnt have better resources for this.

As to the optimal trial composition, it really does depend on the trial to some degree. 8 Mageblades is prob a good place to start for VCR. Haha

For anything that is not a minitrial, you can’t go wrong with 3 Magblades, 1 Magsorc, 1 Stamplar and 3 Stamblades.

Well, one things for sure - don't make a Warden. They are around 1.5% Raid representation on the trial leaderboards.

Thanx everyone for the answers !
Yeah i'm not talking about cloudrest

We've done a 140k no death run on Vaa Hm and we were very desappointed cause we understood at that time that some dps was missing somewhere.

We've got all dummies that exist in our house but it's not really the same as trial recap. Some people are good on the dummies but less efficient in trials we don't like high dps scores on dummies if the rota, mundus stone and stuff is not adapted for trials. And most of the video you can find on the internet are about dimmies high scores not trial efficiency

So you think stamplar is still op for summerset ? And what about magdk ? I've got fan-boys in my team and they are hoping to play it again xD

My static have recently done vCR. As for setup I would recommend:
- 4+ mag NB, it is mandatory. These close portals (in groups of 2) with self-healing
- 4 other DDs, referably ranged magicka. We did it with 5xmNB, 1mSorc and 2mTemplars
- 2 tanks (+0) with 35-40k HP. More than that will make it problematic to heal a tank on execute and less then 35k will probably kill you down in the portal when mechanics overlap. As for setup it could be one of those: Alcosh, Dragon, Jorvuld, Ebon. Monster set is irrelevant, but try to keep resists close to cap, as shadow hurts
- 2 heals both olorime, one Jorwuld, one Mending. Monster sets: Nightflame and Trollking. Trollking procs on everyone so is just perfect for execute phase

on +1 and higher it is 3 tanks and 7dds, same rules

Oh, well... you probably didnt mean vCR

@commdt lol yes but thanx anyway ! All information are good to know. I don't know if we'll run CR soon. We didn't managed to clean VAs because of tanking and the stamdd's that didn't know how to play their magicka toons the team was in a bad mood so we stopped before explosion.

Could just follow my core group's wacky composition of 2 dk tanks, 2 templar heals, 5 magicka sorcs, 1 stam dk, 1 magblade, and some person (we're trying people out). The amount of sorcs we have cracks me up.

Stamplar is not op but it's needed for the PotL debuff, other than that Magdks are still lackluster, stamblades still have the highest deeps, also that score is pretty good for console, although some seconds were probably lost on trash and first boss most likely.

As stamplars aren’t hitting all that great, I’d much rather have a composition consisting of 4 magblades, 1 magsorc, 3 stamblades. The sorc is solely for cleave and alkosh uptime (synergies) and the healers can run breach poisons if one of them have a hard time keeping up potl themselves. The extra magblade will go miles above the stamplars damage threshold.
