I did the highest vHoF, vMoL, vAS , vCR , vAA , vHRC, and vSO scores recorded at the time, "world record". At the time this were all the trials that were out. Some of them lasted 3 patch cycles, just playing with one hand. The idea that One Bar builds are for people that are dissabled or physically limited is wrong. It's mean to people with dissabilities to tell them that they can't play like anyone else.
That's great for you, sincerely. That's really fantastic. But everyone's experience with disability is different. I play with some people who I know IRL, one of whom is disabled. He couldn't do a regular build and he tried for a very long time. He had help from some very good players. He just couldn't do it. It was too painful. The heavy attack build has greatly increased not only his enjoyment of the game, but his DPS numbers and types of content he can do in this game.
He'd be limiting himself using something else. He's not interested in trial content so it's whatever. But he's happy to be able to do world bosses by himself and to be able to run vet dungeons without feeling like he's being carried.
I never seen anything like that, but I only started to use one bar heavy attack builds since a few weeks ago.
I never cared for it because I wasn't aware that it could be good and I thought that I wouldn't enjoy playing an heavy attack build. Then I tried one on my necromancer and I started to enjoy that class for the first time. Now I have 4 characters with heavy attacks builds and I'm even starting to prefer to play those characters. I never saw anyone complaining, but I mostly do dungeons with random players and usually I end up doing above 70% of the damage with my heavy attack builds. I'm enjoying, I'm doing something for the group, so... who cares?

There is a mechanic on one of the side bosses that'll kill your group unless you barswap. That's why people don't want people who can't do anything but Oakensoul builds in their Cloudrest groups and see it as very selfish. For this reason, the trial guild I'm in recently decided to not accept parses with Oakensoul for DPS tags because it's too much work to make sure nobody runs it in Cloudrest every time.

Pretty accurate tbh. I fully agree with what you said. And the same guy you're replying to is the same guy that made a video basically trashing Oakensoul, and in the video makes quite a few hilarious and contradictory "points".

Based on the replies in here and this forum in general, I don't think people realize that 120k+ DPS are not the norm, so it's amusing to me when people keep using that as a standard.
From my experience reading and vetting a ton of parse submissions, the vast majority of dps are sub 100k. Among those over 100k, most are below 110k. Among those over 110k, most are below 120k.
This is why heavy attack builds are way too strong compared to the average 2bar dps and need a massive nerf. It's not like 95% of eso players have disabilities.
They should nerf all DPS not only HA. Cuz, in my healer i cant make 70k its not fair. Just nerf DPS please

And its fair that some people actually practiced and spent lots of effort to reach that dps but now there's a 1 button build for those who didn't bother, that gives you the dps completely free of effort?
Don't worry soon there Will prolly be a mythic item for healers that does 70k dps and heals your group while you do nothing but hold down the left mouse button

But ESO is a game for only some players or should be to all? You have time to practice, i have time to pratice, but many dont have. Why they should do less damage only cuz you have time to practice and they dont?
Why should i have less damge, cuz i cant have same agility in fingers as you? And btw, All about rotation make use of bug. Animation cancel is one bug. Why should we (one bar players), have less damage then who make bug abuse?!
but anyway... you dont like 1bar? great. Play with 2!!! Or you're other player who dont care at all about game and all you care about is someway to tell other: "I have more 40k damage then you".... and ?! If you have 40k more then me.... why do i care? lol! Be happy mate. Play your game, and join with others like you.
I play with all who dont care about one bar or 2 bars. What's the problem?!

Lmao the "bug" that's been in game for almost 10 years and is given as a tip during loading screens
By the logic that some people don't have time to practice and should therefore be rewarded with a build that needs no practice, yeah I don't have time to play dungeons or trials so I deserve to get all the rewards from those mailed to me for free with no effort spent, otherwise unfair because I don't have time
Why onebar player with 100k in dummy are bad for same trial\Dungeon as you are in?

Why do you care? If people don't want to play with you for whatever reason, it is their decision. Why do you think that other people are obliged to accept you into their group when you are openly accusing them of bug abuse? "Play how you want" applies to everyone, not just to you when it fits your agenda.
However, I think it is disrespectful to use oakensoul in organized group play. Healers and tanks are making an effort to gear up properly, coordinate their sets and provide group buffs with decent uptimes and ignoring that effort is pretty rude in my books. That's why I prefer to avoid oakensoul users in my progress groups.

Once again you state this as a fact with absolutely no facts or evidence to back it up. We’re not talking about support roles, HA builds are damage dealers, and as such are there to be supported, not to support. So please either explain what you are talking about or stop excluding people from your groups based off a false assumption.

No only that but he's assuming a one-bar HA build precludes a group-friendly ultimate.
Heck I even slot Twilight Matriarch in my one-bar magsorc build which is one of the best "oh shoot" heals in the game so I bring off-heals to groups which is probably much more valuable than anything a non-HA buffing set gives.

You think a burst heal once in a while is more than 15% crit damage?

So as a trial leader, you bring your four support roles which bring their buffs to help the group, then you bring maybe an EC Cro? A DK Zens? Then what? You’ve got 6 more DPS slots to fill. Last I checked the meta MagSorc build is what, Whorl/Nirn? Relequen? Pretty sure those sets only help the Sorc player and offer nothing to help ‘the group’. Oh well, you said his backbar abilities help the group? What skill? Elemental Weapon? Crystal Frags? Mages Wrath?

I haven't seen anybody getting hate [snip]. I'm not a top dps but not the floor either. I've worked hard to farm sets, learning rotation and weaving and got my parse up to 105k. That's enough for me to do any vet content except some HMs and trifectas, which I'm not interested anyways. But now with Oakensoul HA builds, people who couldn't hit 50k, are now hitting as much as me. They put in 0 effort. My best HA parse is 96k so I'm using that now aswell. Why get all sweaty for extra 10k? This is not healthy for the game. Unless you're hitting 130k there's no point using anything but Oakensoul HA. Good aoe, decent st and great survivability on top. I can definetly see nerf hammer dropping next patch.
