    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Hmmm...maybe I forget to set some stat points....?

    I only tried once two days after IC came out, but before then I had a much easier time killing npcs in cyrodiil

    The VR16 mobs in IC are much, much tougher than the VR14 mobs you find in Cyrodiil delves. I can roll through a Cyrodiil delve like a hot knife through butter. But soloing the sewers or a district is quite a challenge, even with no enemy players jumping in.

    Yes, there is BL in IC.

    Yes, the mobs there are much, much tougher then usual. Many of them are closer to public dungeon strength then solo mobs strength.

    Which makes for a neat challenge if you go there solo, even without the usual gankage... but still quite doable for the most part, even for my V13 sorc. Boss fights on the other hand are a different matter, maybe some super-effective combat masters can solo them, but I can't even come close... (darn temple district... darn sewer bosses.. darn arena district...) Better go with a handful of friends if you plan on taking them on. And the roaming city bosses... eh... better go with a dozend friends!

    Yeh check your points, also your Mundus Stone. Some of those got removed in the process of fixing a bug.

    Is this a good place to grind?

    I know my friend was interesting in pulling a bunch of mobs and I heal him....but would the payout be worth it at that point?

    @Darlgon You are of course correct that battle levelling goes to VR14. But the mobs in IC are VR16.

    IC is not designed for solo play, its designed for groups of two or more.. and then there is the enemy players.. No, not really what I would call a grind spot.

    So the debate I hear is to turn off battle level if you are VR16 and have good gear... is this correct? I did this and my shield I use was almost half of what it was before.
    Are you not entertained?

    I'm kinda confused my the term group...because I'd only be grinding with my friend, I wouldn't mind the pvo, as I enjoy it and love a cool pvpve area, but what I'm trying to ask is...since I'm with my friend we would technically be a group so is that still not a good area for us to try to level at?

    If you are at or above VR14, battle level does not apply.. so No.

    So, mobs are all VR16, enemy players are VR16 with 255 skill points, with a few battle leveled to VR14, you two are battle leveled to VR14 with 25 skill points(ish), and....
