Least favorite weekly endeavor?

Alinhbo_Tyaka

I don't have a favorite or least favorite as I don't really pay attention to what the daily and weekly endeavors are. I've found that going about doing what I normally do will complete the endeavors for the type of content I play. Those endeavors that don't complete are almost always for content I don't participate in such as PvP. In fact I think the intent of endeavors was not to have players treat them like dailies and grind them out but to have them be casual goals that self completed as people played the game.

Do you have a least favorite weekly endeavor?

For me, it's got to be "Kill 180 Foes with Class Abilities." It's hard for me to find a good location with lots of foes to farm without other players coming by every so often and "helping" me by killing all of the foes I've gathered around me before I can kill them.

It depend on class, you want an class with an class ability as your spamable, templars are pretty much perfect here, stamsorc the worst but good for weapon skill kills.

My biggest issue with the kill with class or weapon ability type of endeavors is that my companions kill-steal, which means I can't use them while doing the endeavor.

I think that used to happen with Sorc pets, too-- at least, it seemed like I used to not get credit when they killed something-- but now I do get credit for their kills, which is helpful.

Companions, though-- they're neither class nor weapon, so that's a problem. But I wonder if equipping them with poisons will give credit for the "inflict foes with poison damage" endeavors? That is, assuming they have slots for poison?

The one that I have to go out of my way for is the "kill 180/250 foes with Weapon Abilities"; I don't slot weapon abilities more than the elemental wall and that rarely is the killing blow. This weekly seems to usually be paired with "complete 3 trials" and such that I also need to go out of my way of. I just slot crushing shock and go kill (retracted) in (retracted) when this weekly comes, but it's still annoying, time consuming, and "out of my way" type of gameplay.

Edit: I decided against giving away the location and enemy type since I enjoy being able to complete this weekly in a somewhat sensible time frame.

If there are any "murder" weeklies they would be my least favourite. I think the whole "I'm a cool assassin"-routine absolutely stupid, in every genre, everywhere. (Personal opinion, of course.) So won't touch it, and dislike the idea.

Next up are trials. Never did one, probably never will. I only have one character that I play regularly, and he's a tank. I'm really bad at keyboard-acrobatics, not very good at min-maxing, and not motivated to memorize mechanics. But trials only have one or two tank spots, so I'd ruin the fun of 11 other people by being bad. Not happening.

Then there is PvP. The same stuff that makes me bad at trials makes me bad at PvP (at least outside of running with big groups). So no "kill a player in PvP" and no battlegrounds. (Poor team if I'd join them.)

But thank the Eight (and ZOS) there always are alternatives!

Of the ones I actually do I think the one I like the least is "Kill xxx with Class abilities".
My usual character, a Dragonknight armed with sword and shield (and a tank when speaking in group roles), tends to "kill" people with proc sets (when wearing his adventure setup), and a mix of weapon and class... My lovely Khajiit lady that I made for having a charming rascal that will "reallocate possessions" now and then for fun (because my main wouldn't steal), uses weapons almost exclusively.
That leaves my third character, a templar I made solely to re-play through all the story quests again with a friend, as the only one who actually relies on class abilities to win the day. But he was never designed to be played by his own, so racking up kills with him is a bit tedious...

Yes, it is kind of annoying but then again, this is a MMORPG. The best way to accomplish this in peace and quiet is to solo a group dungeon and try "fighting" a boss who will keep summoning adds, without actually killing the boss. The giant crab boss in FG1 comes to mind.

I’m glad there’s a variety, as some that are people’s least favorite are ones that I like. But the ones that I am least likely to do are BGs (until there’s a separate queue for “random” I’m done with them) and patrolling horrors (I like IC on occasion but often difficult to find a group).

Any PvP or complete 3 trials. It's hard to organize 12 man runs for some people, let alone 3 in one week

Agreed - and PvP is broken to the point where it's just an exercise in frustration.

The comments above for me as well, not because I don't like pvp or trials, dungeons at all - I choose the fastest weekly every time. 180 class ability kills is 1 skyreach run then goodnight. 7 dungeons is fast with cloaked nb and boss skips.
It's probably the arena or trial weeklies that I wouldn't bother with, takes ages to do.

Trials and Imperial City bosses.

Anything that doesn't just sort of happen naturally... More specifically, it's all about the choice. I frankly wouldn't care if there was a "harvest 3 bazillion antiquties" one in there, as long as at least one of them is a straightforward kill x mobs or run y dungeons.

None, as there is always another option I have little to no issue completing "naturally". Even that one time where it was 2 PvPs and 20 World Bosses, I just figured it would be a good time to farm pale order and wild hunt leads. Since then though there has never been a week where I had to seriously go out of my way to complete a weekly.
