Please don't require Blackheart Haven grind for anything ever again

pauld1_ESO

Trying to get this stupid lead in Blackheart is the absolute worst experience I have had yet.

Just go WW and solo the entire dungeon on normal. This lead is a breeze compared to some others like fishing.

Just wait till you want a Maelstrom Weapon.

There is nothing difficult about Blackheart Haven...not sure how practical soloing it is though with boss mechs, even on normal he might be able to kill you as a skellie.

Final boss cannot make you a skellie if you're in WW form.

That being said, soloing those large mobs on WW isn't easy.

Does the old Leeching Plate + Bahraha's Curse trick still work for soloing BH (norm/vet)? Because that never required WW form, and is braindead easy if you don't mind the atrociously low DPS.

Didn't know it was a trick but Leeching, Bahrara's and Malubeth didn't keep me alive. Then I remembered there was supposedly a Werewolf trick and since I recently switched from vampire to werewolf I gave that a shot and it was a breeze with that gear setup.

Never said it was difficult, it's just longer than I care to run 12 times in a row.

Yea I'll pass on that.

The dungeon leads are for sure the most annoying ones, especially Darkshade 2 for the dwarven wolf mount.
Luckily i only had to run it solo 4 times to get the lead.

I was wondering if the necro or vamp forms would work the way werewolf does.

The dungeon is more of a pain solo than with a group though. Even with a good group it's just too long to have to run double digits for.

Imagine all the 'easy sorcs' next patch having to farm Undaunted Unweaver instead of infiltrator, shed a tear for them.

You can get around this as WW as other say, or more practical queue on normal with an a bit tanky build as an tank or any magic build with some heals even an reso staff back bar.
Or get an farming guild group.

Has some bad memories here, an guild group, decent tank, I was healer, yes it was a bit weird I did more than 30% of dps as dedicated healer. but still stuff went down until the last boss.
it was no way to kill off the adds fast enough and then this one become an skeleton the DD died. Or then the tank became one. As boss targeted the DD who was one wiped for reasons.
Well they left and we got two new DD who cleared it HM. now they missed their pledge so we did it again in vet as some wanted another helmet.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

I might be totally making this up? Will he turn you if you have him taunted? Could have sworn that was a work around at some point (just slot inner fire).

Also, will he turn you if you nuke him fast enough? I have definitely soloed that place on normal when farming bone pirate. Just been a while, so don't remember what I did. Definitely was not a WW.

Veinblood1965

I had some guildie just meet me at the last boss after I soloed up until then, he used something I think it was skelly polymorph.

I'm also so tired of this dungeon after having to run it an insane amount of times to help friends get the pvp skeleton sets and now the lead. It feels so bad, the dungeon is fine but it's one of those ones that has so many reasons to have to grind it

The dungeon is fine, just not to grind anything in. Doing this thing 12 times in a row just is not fun.....and I play games for fun. At this point I am about to just not give a ***. Keep your mythic item ZOS.

Putting leads in dungeons isn't the problem.

Making them take more than 1-2 times to get the lead is defintitely the problem.

RazielSR

I've been grinding about a week to get all the mythic items. Spending about 3-4 hours a day just getting leads+scrying/excavating.

BH was 27 times for me. Fishing was about 4 hours. DC just 1. Crypts was 5. Then there have been world bosses that were just 1 time and others that were 20 something. Pvp ones were fast to me,luckily.

It's insane and mad the way antiquities work.

Agreed. Even the Elden Hollow one took me 5 times, but it's a quick dungeon so whatever. Blackheart Haven is painful to repeat over and over to me. Taking 27 runs like the dude that posted after....that is insane. These Mythics are not THAT good.

FrancisCrawford

I was lucky; it only took me two runs.

So far my many-runs problems have been in easier content. That's lucky. It also helps that I've only tried for three mythic items, none of which is the Stranglers.

Nice....I stopped counting. Seriously about to just stop.

Kadoin

I learned this lesson after grinding Vaults of Madness over 450 times for a resto staff during the time period that weapons did not always drop from end boss: never grind too hard for anything in the game; it's not worth it.

Waffennacht

At least theres that short cut early on
