First off, ESO is not WOW. Also, everyone can be President īn the USA, too. That doesn't mean they do, and certainly doesn't diminish the power of the office. Nor does it here for dungeon solo'ing.

No, it's NOT WoW, but like in any mmo soloing requires same three steps to do it.
I can solo AA first boss on my NB without problems (including all trash on the way in) and it only proves my point, that stuff like that is doable if you look into mechanics properly and time your abilities to the second.
ANY player could solo vEH with just 2h, rally, brawler, wrecking blow, execute, immovable and ANY ulti really.
There's just one BUT: that player must follow all three steps
One missed ability in rotation and you're dead.
Seriously impressive is, when someone does something that's in theory IMPOSSIBLE Like solo Skoria or Bogdan.
Just think how many players after seeing that video did same thing

Let me know when thr vid of your NB soloing Vet EH and the first boss in AA is ready. I'd love to see it!

LOL, and many sorcs whined that 1.6 nerfed them to Obilivion.

Nice to see proof it's an L2P problem, not a class problem.

90% of the time its a L2P problem... but you are right, its good to see.

Words of wisdom... . There are balance issues in MMORPG's but they are nowhere near as severe on the whole as people make them out to be usually. My sorc...

...is in the first and only North American DC guild in 1.6+ to date to complete the Sanctum Ophidia hardmode. And not many across any of the factions have. Classes are not in general underpowered in this game, bar a few specific issues here and there or skills in some versions. The ESO build system is open enough it is much more dependent on the player .

Yea.. although I agree there was way more crying that necessary on 1.6 PTS, a solo build is just that, a solo build. It doesn't really reflect the capabilities of the class in more common situations like dungeons, trials, pvp.. This reminds me of when Rimez posted a video of him soloing this same dungeon with his DK a month or so after launch. Everyone had a "omg DK op" fit, and certain things were way overnerfed (RIP magicka furnace, inhale), but in reality his build was useless for anything other than soloing. I know this build can also hit decent DPS, but it's not even as good as other Sorc builds.

DK still hits harder overall than even the best sorc builds (although not by a mile anymore, the gap is much smaller), especially with these Molten Weapons builds that can hit 20k pretty easily with near infinite sustain. And sorc DPS has weird limitations that DK and NB don't have. One of our dots requires us to be in melee range, the other its a really tiny ground target AOE. In otherwords we can copy DK's meta with the Skoria set, so long as the boss stands perfectly still and doesn't have any high damage melee mechanics.

So we're almost there, the meta is a lot more fun than Crushing Shock spam for an hour, DPS is close but not quite there and weirdly situational.

That's simply not the case. Proof already posted in this very thread . The damage gap between Templar, sorcs, and DK's s very minimal nowadays and each has other things they contribute to leaderboard topping trial and vDSA runs than just damage or just healing. Nightblades remain king due to some advantages you cannot obtain or compensate for on the other three classes, but have less group utility as their downside. Is balance perfect? Nope. It never is or can be. But we're pretty darn close currently as far as pve is concerned, with small caveats on a pure role for one of the three trinity roles of tanking, damaging, or healing, but great hybrids or pure play of the other two roles, per class. That's not a bad thing. Having a class system would be pretty silly if everyone did the same things .

Oh, and on nerfs? Inhale and its morphs still kick ass in most situations to date still. Magicka furnace? It was well known in beta and feedbacked, even got nerfed before launch. When it went live with no further changes , what do you think the first handful of people including myself did upon reaching veteran rank 1 and getting access to the AD vet zones? Nope, we didn't go dart to v10. Some of us just farmed a set of magicka furnace, then pvp'd and leveled up with dungeons and quests as well. People vastly overreact to good combinations they never bothered to look for and demand reactionary nerfing to it. Why do you think many don't post their great setups on YouTube? You already just said why .

Show me a 20k+ DPS parse in a trial fight or 24k+ Bloodspawn parse as Sorc and I'll take back everything I wrote. Also,

????? Most raid groups mandate at least 2 NB entirely because of how good Veil of Blades is in some fights.
