Veteran Daily Pledges least performing subclass

NeroBad

Interested what the forum readers think is the least performing class/subclass in an average Veteran Hm Daily Pledge if they play their role (its not about fake tanks or healers).

1. Why?
2. This is an impossible question to answer, because different instances are better suited to certain setups.

Had to say Magden, but ONLY because their DPS is the worst ofall classes atm.

But the question is pretty unclear, and hard to answer...

Its depending on your group setup (range, meele), the dungeon you're running, the players skill and ofc RNGjesus.

For Example, vSCP HM is a bpain in the butt as meele, since you have to run to the iceadds to kill them fast enough, while ranged DD's can just run to their safespot and DPS on the go...so all meele DPS have a harder time, ergo they can perfom worse than ranged.

But also the opposite can be true, example vWRS 1 HM, the endboss jumps arround, therefore running out of your groundbased aoes, because the ranged dont have to stay at meele range, and can DPS from afar (safe from ther spin).

I went stam dk, because I don't see many of them ever, so my choice doesn't hold much water.

The largest issue with veteran dungeons dlc or not is not specifically classes and sub classes, it's the user in control of them. You could have the best character and gear ESO had to offer but if someone refuses to learn and abide by or contribute to a certain mechanic(s) then it doesn't matter what character you have.

true there are only a few stamDK's left, but magDK's arent many more atm...due to other meele classes beeing able to simply outDPs DK's atm.

Not to mention everyone has their opinion.

I've gotten undaunted level 9 on everything... Least favorite was Magicka Warden.

That said... All classes can clear all dungeons. I was just annoyed that it felt like I had to work twice as hard to get less DPS than any other option.

I think I probably agree here, but not committing to a vote. Haha. I too have done undaunted 9 on all 10 specs as well. I found mag warden to be the most annoying, but I did it as a healer, and no secret, healing is my least favorite role. I much prefer to heal 4 man stuff on my templar (or NB if the group is really good).

I also found mag warden to be the most painful of the 10 in terms of VMA clears as well. Super tanky, but the damage was Meh... Might not be the hardest flawless achievement of the bunch, but least enjoyable for a basic clear IMO. I saw mechanics I had completely forgot existed.

Can't speak to any specific classes; i imagine the 'lowest dps' class is the answer when you're removing all other variables.

Some people here saying "mag warden" but I don't know if that is being very fair. They bring a lot of utility to the table. Certainly it's been proven their dps isn't on par with other classes, but with the same gear and skill you're pitting them against, they will do fine in vets.

I get weary about the group makeup if there are two stam dps, especially if they are the same class. You're just exponentially diminishing your chances of successful sustained dps on many fights by having redundant skills and dps that needs to be stuck to the bosses butt.

Yes, lets all jump on the mag warden is bad train. I am sure you can all feel the minutes going by when having to do dungeon on class that performs like 7% worse than all other setups Any class with access to own penetration debuff (fracture/breach) and minor berserk performs by default better in dungeons, this goes double for warden with AoE penetration debuff and quite high AoE DPS, obviously all based on use of deep fissure. Any dungeon on mag warden is impossible to go worse than on magDK or magplar or even non PET/nonlightning magsorc...

Not to mention that it's highly role specific. I mean, a stam DK trying to be a healer is going to epic fail vet hard mode dungeons, and a magicka warden healer is quite good.

Azurya

a fairly unfair poll
most are underperforming, because of 2 reasons mainly:
-low or no CP
-not much exercise what they are doing

to solve both problems it needs exercise, exercise and exercise and both will come in time

so let us help them getting it! my plee, though Hodor didn´t take me on a tour, and I asked them enough

Poor magwarden. I love their crippling as a magsorc. Seems like you guys don't do vet PUGs. Worst case when you have sniper spammer...

Light attack spammers with little ability use. Not class related.

Magden isn't as bad as people make it out to be, mainly a matter of grasping the playstyle of it, and knowing how to use it properly. Sustain was overall buffed last patch, and can use Nothern Storm/Destro Ult while only incurring a 2-4k dps loss from bear. Overall dps is relatively nice, being able to hit close to almost every other class. I voted stamsorc due to where it currently is, with low sustain, and generally lower single target dps compared to some stam classes.

Only melee range skills and no movement buffs make mDK very unforgiving in certain encounters. Good luck getting to a portal on Lord Warden or avoiding the red carpet in Scalecaller last boss if you get out of position.

I just can't get myself to vote. This poll is too subjective. What constitutes performance? DPS on a dummy? Player skill? Positioning? Some or all of the above? None of the above?

I think someone else already mentioned that any class can complete vet HM dungeons. Pick a class and master it. Then run it. At the end of the day run what's fun for you.

It's usually whatever class is played by players that care about questions like this when they are pugging daily pledges.
