Something you don't do.. steal the tanks shards. See that all the time lol. And do not overload the boss at the start. The amount of wipes I've seen on Coa and they then say they've run out of ultimate and then the group breaks down. Noobs.

But it feels great to drag pugs kicking and screaming across the finish line. I feel like my tank is the best class to drag a bad pug as long as the group has communication. If the group has no coms then my Magblade or Sorc DPS is probably better.

As long as the bad pug ISN'T the healer..... Then your all dead....

I don't know about that there is an over abundance of self heals/shields in the game when people in guild area chat say we can run this without a tank I always reply if you can run it without a tank you can run it without a healer.

I am not sure why would time of overload matter?

For instance. Skoria. Everyone on the 1st platform burns him at the start and starts overloading. Platform breaks and healer dies in the process and can't be revived in that spot. Overload wasted. Always zap on the 2nd platform and after the shield phase and atros are down. never the 1st.

Same prison 2nd boss. Wait until the shield phase is over and the atronarch is down them zap him to ensure you always have enough.

Kena only to push for aspect phases and after the lightening wall is down on the 3rd do you burn the boss.

If you have enough DPS and build up overload beforehand you can make it last the whole fight. Did it last night with 2 sorcs and was still using overload at 1% boss health since I had it remaining.

Biggest issue with overload sorcs is they spam it whenever they can and then have none when they need it, but that's not really a pugging issue.

Moments like these is why I'm a tank. Don't gotta worry jack [to hawt] about dealing damage.

Thanks for the explanation, it's more for a specific case than a general advise.

But surely it's good to know this.

You haven't seen it all until you PUG with a heavy armor, heavy attacking Bow user for Vet White Gold Tower. He stands in the fire as if it isn't there since the healer will heal him through it for a bit. He holds onto those heavy attacks so he can make sure to aim for The Adjudicater's head. Proceeded to get kicked after second wipe.

Stopped PUGing IC dungeons afterward.

Lol headshot

Two days before TG patch I ran with a vet FG group that had a sorc healer, and guy who only used flurry for dps and his 2h for rally. I was on my magic sorc and I had to switch between using overload to get magicka back, and then immediately spam combat prayer with frags (had to put it on my resto bar for this group to make it). I consider the 3 hours it took for that dungeon to be my greatest pugging achievement.

What abilities could a Sorc healer possibly have on their bar that means they can't slot Siphon, Drain, and Orbs?

Why was healer on the first platform anyway? Just block his ranged attack and you don't even need to avoid the flame trails. I mean if you burn him fast on the second platform and he breaks the platform wouldn't the healer die then too? I don't start overloading Skoria because I want to burn off some of my magicka first and let my regen kick in a bit but I wouldn't call somone a noob for it.

Valrien · March 2016

What respectable Sorcerer doesn't Overload the whole fight? If you have that little confidence in your group then use Ward.

The only thing you need to change is gear and skills (maybe mundus if you want to optimize dps).
This only works with magicka builds ofc.

Yes, everyone know magicka is unbalanced. We shouldn't be able to do that, it always makes me roll my eyes when I can do everything on my magicka sorc but my stamina characters are stuck with their roles.

Clarkieson · March 2016

What you guys on about!

This game is dragonknight wrecking blow.

Maybe crit rush and steel tornado, maybe.

All you need is wrecking blow, mad skills.

The only thing a stamina character can't do is heal, which is only because there are few options for stamina heals. But oddly I'm okay with this since healing is generally considered a magic thing.

A few weeks ago one guy got into our vet WGT run.
We were three manning the adds outside while waiting for the fourth to come (group finder guy), only the bulwark and the healer were left.

I see this V16 sorc running toward us in Martial Knowledge gear and Malubeth helmet.
I stop DPSing to observe him.

He starts Crystal Frag spamming without doing anything else, finishes his magicka and start heavy attacking with the destro staff until he actually kills the Bulwark, then does the same to the healer, it took forever.

We actually managed to kill the Adjudicator after (mostly because I know both the healer and the tank, good players) then he left for no reason

The other night i was running VDC and on grobull i had this templar continue to radiant destruct grobull (when invulnerable) until he, the player, was on low health. He would then rite of passage himself back to full health and continue radiant destructing. He had chosen the healer role, but only seemed to heal himself. It was an amazing experience. Laughed my ass off. PUG's for life.

And yes, i did try to explain the mechanics, but he wasn't on chat.

On the other side of the coin i ran VCOA last night with a PUG and had only one death throughout the whole dungeon on skoria. Fastest run i ever put down on that.

AOECAPS · March 2016

I like running with pals and pigs can be fun as well only one I don't want to run content is with the mlg self righteous F's thst only play as sorcs because of META and run their mouths about other classes and people that play them because not part of META.

Vaoh · March 2016

@Farorin I'm the same man. I consider it hard mode as well. Once, I PUGGED as a DPS for Vet City of Ash.

The three randoms were actually friends with each other and also an extremely cocky bunch. "Yo breh I gut like 400-sum champ points ima beast bro wat u got?" When I messaged them I had 350ish.... I was...*sniff sniff*.... downtalked

(I don't use my mic).

I then proceeded to:
1) Finish off Fire Maw from 20% health
2) Run over to the Ash Titan and kill him before my group could catch up
3) Solo Valkyn Skoria from 30% health

The friend requests are gonna stay pending for a VERY long time

(Ive soloed the dungeon before, so I like to help weak groups that struggle heavily complete it to be nice)

Haha, I see no problem with PUGs, I like to pretend that when I am p[art of a PUG, that I am actually, in fact, just playing ESO on Hardmode.

Agreed! I had a light armor magic DK using a bow who was slotted healer and tank. We made it 40 soul gems later.
