    Ugh, what a nauseating thread full of of elitists.

    First time I ran that dungeon I got one-shotted by that boss too. And I was supposed to be the tank. Because that's what being new to a dungeon will do to you.

    Instead of ripping these people apart while you stroke yourselves, how about taking a step back and realize that not everyone can be as awesome as you, especially if they're new. And I would guess they were, since two of them weren't vet level.

    This is why I always PUG. Because I don't mind failing or spending a while in a dungeon if it means some other people can learn something and feel good about themselves, instead of seeing their efforts ridiculed on youtube and the forums.

    I don't understand...

    1) The problem clearly is a lack of player skill. People who don't avoid damage and don't block the heavy attack with a lengthy and obvious warning. Extra health or damage will not suddenly make a non-blocker block or a red-stander move.

    2) If you do jack up the stats so high that they can roll through the dungeon despite making those mistakes, how in Oblivion do you expect them to ever learn? You realize why such players exist, right? It's because the content in the questing zones are so ridiculously easy that people are never forced to learn. They can light-and-heavy attack their way through the normal zone content because that content is so damn easy, and then when they hit the group content, they're unprepared for it. All that bonus stats will do is make the group content as easy as the zone content, which further perpetuates this problem.


    Yes, there is a problem demonstrated by this video. But the problem is not bad dungeon mechanics--as a normal dungeon, Tempest is pretty tame compared to much of the vet content out there, and I frequently two-man Tempest without a tank or a dedicated healer when it's the pledge. The problem is a lack of player skill, and I have no idea why you constantly think that this is a problem that can be fixed by making things easier (this is not the first thread I've seen from you suggesting something like this). Making things easier doesn't fix the problem. It merely hides it.

    People get one-shotted in dungeons, it happens. Even elite groups have deaths. The first guy that died did not get one-shotted, so that one is on you OP. You could have also been using Healing Ward and prevented either of the other deaths, which I will touch on in points 4 and 5 below.

    But there are multiple issues in this video that are a microcosm of the issues with group finder and the uneducated players you find there:

    1. Two of the guys were just spamming the same skills while the other just seemed to stand there most of the fight. Spamming is an epidemic in this game and needs to remedied so players are required to learn how to play.

    2. No one tried to revive anyone, including the OP. People die in dungeons, it happens, but not reviving is a sign of either players being selfish and not willing to use their soul gems or unprepared by not having soul gems.

    3. No one but the OP apparently knows how to block.

    4. The OP is there to heal, but spends more time spamming shards and trying to DPS than healing/supporting. This is also a pet peeve of mine. If you are a healer, just heal and leave the DPS up to the DPS. Using healing ward instead of spamming shards could have potentially prevented those one-shots.

    5. The OP, like many others in dungeons, is unwilling to take any responsibility for what happened and believes they played it perfectly. First, as mentioned above, you could have used more support skills and left the DPS up to the DPS. Healing ward would have helped more than your spam shards. Second, you used your ultimate poorly by just throwing up a barrier at the beginning of the fight. In that case, you should have thrown up a Solar Prison to help with the adds and provide mitigation and built up a barrier for when you absolutely needed it.

    I'm not normally a jerk, but your healing wasn't that wonderful either.

    Lol nice attempt at trolling, they all 3 were one shotted by the bosses mechanics... This video has to due about the current state of unbalanced dungeons and the ground finder made for all levels.

    There is nothing wrong with the boss mechanics, your group just need to learn them. The boss has a tell when a heavy attack is coming, and blocking or dogging can prevent being one shotted. This is why a good tank is important, there job is to block heavy attacks and if they don't they should have the health and armor to survive it.

    I like to see people with this attitude in game, makes doing pledges sooooo much more enjoyable.

    On a sidenote: running with guildies (if you are in a guild with nice people ofc) can have the same outcome.

    Before you go insulting those guys you were grouped with, you might want to evaluate your own skills. You were so busy spamming shards and trying to DPS that you let your team mates die.

    Edit: To add, it is obvious that you are trying to showcase yourself while both insulting the players you were grouped with as well as ridicule the grouping tool. The grouping tool, while not perfect, is working as intended. I suggest you change your role to DPS, as the players you were grouped with could just as easily been posting a video badmouthing their 'healer' that let them die because he was too busy doing crappy dps.

    I don't see what's wrong with hp. You didn't heal the tank when he got stunned by an unblockable stun inside the boss aoe and then the dds died because they didn't block a boss heavy attack. Both of those things will also happen to well equipped v16 chars, but can be solved easiely. Just tell the dds that they need at block heavy attacks when the boss is on them and tell the tank to keep vigor up all the time because you are so busy with dpsing that you sometimes forget to heal him.

    Sorry but I didn't see anyone mention Block... they were one shot by a move that can and will one shot a lower life dps if they don't block. No healing through that. No one blocked his move. You could see the boss winding up for a good 2 seconds before they were killed. To me it looks like you were just playing with people who haven't seen that boss many times. Maybe new players?

    Dungeon isn't unbalanced, battle leveling is a stupid mechanic.

    This doesn't happen with 4 people close in level who actually know what they are doing. I guess doing dungeons balanced around a person's actual level is too much to ask for.

    If you spent half as much time healing your group mates as you did spamming shards and resto staff heavy attacks, they would not have died.
    I wanted to post evidence on why the group finder is unbalanced. That is why I uploaded this video.

    I don't believe this to be the case. I think you posted this video as an ego-boosting exercise since you killed a boss by yourself after letting your 3 groupmates die.

    It's not the system because I have found above average players who were looking for a tank and we breezed past white gold vet 16 then I found the normal spindle and could not complete it due to poor player skills

    No way for the group finder to sort out poor players from good players, it's rediculous how many poor players play on console. Learn your role and learn how to play a game with red aoe on the floor It bugs me tanking and healing when I see dps or even the healer blaming the tank for dieing when they stood in the red aoe .......

    Best advice was already said join a dungeon guild serious because It will save you alot of headachs especially on console ( most players r average and no kind of serious aspects with 1k weapon damage because armour looks cool, rather then armour is useful)

    I honestly didn't know group finder pugs on console where that bad :cold_sweat:

    Do people queue as tank, than show up as dps or something? Or is it unintentional, like they dont even know how to set roles?

    In extremely bad pugs you need someone that taunts bosses even in normal dungeons. But there was no one tanking. One guy using a frost staff than went DW spamming Tornado what the hell? One guy mashing cloak in the middle of a boss fight lol. Other dude only using heavy sword attacks.

    No one was reviving. Is soul gems that hard to come by on console?

    Healer could have saved the first guy from dying yes. But does it matter? Would likely have insta-died to boss a few second later anyway.

    Decent templar could have carried those 3 dps'ers throw entire normal City of Ash, if prepared for it with off-tank spec, loads of pots and patience. But OP probably didn't know he was expected to do literally every single role, just to get a *** silver key. It's not even worth it.

    I saw it was this boss and knew exactly what this post was about. The heavy attack the boss does can easily 1-shot my VR16 almost min-maxed DD if it isn't blocked. With a block on this obvious charge attack, your health is unlikely to go below 60% in my experience, plus it stuns the boss for 1 sec. With people who know this it isn't hard, so it's just obvious that you were in a group that hadn't done this particular boss before. I don't see why you're blaming the system for something that's simply inexperience.

    BTW, you should probably have been running more than just Healing Springs; yes, it's an awesome skill, but only really shines over stacking HoT's in specific circumstances (Fungal Grotto last boss, CoA Fire Maw etc). In this circumstance you were moving around and being distracted too much to take full advantage of Healing Springs.

    If you could write up your healer build, it would be appreciated. Are you talking bout rapid regeneration?

    First of all, tanks are unnecessary in all normal dungeons (except normal ICP and WGT) as long as at least two of the DPS have good DPS and the healer focuses on healing. You can even do it with 3 people if one of your DPS has amazing DPS.

    I watched the video. Clearly you did not do your job initially by letting the group leader die. He was not one-shotted, his HP gradually reached 0.

    Now yes, the two other players who were one-shotted were obviously not blocking or dodge rolling when the hit came. This is probably a lack of experience, but it can also be that they did not have enough HP (lack of food buff is the prime suspect). Though, you cannot confirm that on PS4 (on PC you can).

    Also, when playing without a tank, it is the DPS job to revive others. Usually, the DPS with aggro will run as far as possible from the dead party member while the non-aggroed DPS revive the fallen member. Again, this seems to indicate these players were just inexperienced.

    As an experienced player, it was your job to brief them on basic dungeon strategies, especially without a tank to grab aggro.

    I re watched the video. If you look at the time stamp Tico went from 90+% hp to 0% in less than a second. It might as well have been called a one shot lol...

But this was a normal freakin dungeon, and lower levels should not take this much damage, that is why ZOS talked on there ESO stream on adding the damage mitigation buffs and DPS buffs for situations such as this.

    It doesn't help players, if they get buffed until they don't need to know anything about playing this game. it's better they die bc of such mistakes and learn from them. The game is easy enough actually. We don't need to nerf the content even more. just learn to play the game...it's not that hard to block or dodge.

    edit says: If you nerf it further, noone will care about their role and you will have more and more "tanks" with crappy builds. If it's so hard you actually need a tank, only tanks will set their role as tank and not every freaking DPS/heal who just wants to do this dungeon asap!
