As the title states. Mine is the obsidian guards in Fungal grotto not only is that dungeon atrocious to begin with but tlik pretty sure the studied NB mechanics in pvp and put them in there. Watching an AI controlled NB ambush spam you is a little odd

    The tank should go first, blocking. Then the rest of the group kills them fast while they are busy wasting their attacks.

    My first couple runs through that dungeon I had a hate on for those laser beams. I despised them. Now I chuckle and bit when someone else dies to it and think to myself "Hah! Finally not me!"

    Really though, I think the most annoying dungeon mechanic to me is Darkshade Caverns on vet - of course.. I've never actually attempted it not for a gold key.

    Kill them? Tank? What are you talking about haha
    TBH when we run fungal grotto we cut every corner possible because of the strong dislike of it.

    I will have to go with the "Flesh Sculptor" hit "x" synergy thing where you pop the poison zits to stop mobs from becoming atronachs. I absolutely hate that mechanic.

    Playing since beta...

    I think since thieves guild they made this fight a lot easier.unfortuantely, (I only say that because it was the one somewhat difficult dungeon now that fight isn't anything since you don't have to throw grenades all the time now

    I would love to see more spiders. We already have those little spider cannibals which suck up their buddies to gain health again. Imagine such mobs in bigger dimensions and a group without any skill to Interrupt on their skill bars :-)

    So let the snow flakes and unicorns dance alone until they melt or vanish from existence, we will finish up with those smart enough to stay in the glowing circle of love.

    Any mechanic where you have to depend on others releasing you, like the 4 guys that chain you down in fungal. Prevents me from doing that dungeon with randoms, as most of them don't have the DPS to kill one of those adds quick enough when I get chained down.

    All of them... :)

    Really though, having to release teammates or having to release yourself while having a DoT or in fire (prison cell in WGT)

    Other mechanics don't really bother me too much. I mean, its not supposed to be easy right?

    For me it is darkshade....I was going to say just the dwemer spider, but actually I just kinda dislike the mechanics in the entire dungeon. Two of the main bosses just have stupid time-wasting mechanics that draw out the fight.

    Haha. I remember that. I also remember when Gamyne Bandu (first vFG boss) was nigh unkillable due to having actual mechanics. All of us in our v1 gear trying to dps...good times...

    Not a dung but Trial. Those friggin axes in AA trying to taunt them and cant keep aggro on them because they are a horrible see through colour which i cant focus on because of all the 10 dps players skills flashing, and are weaving everywhere. I friggin hate them axes and wont ever Tank that trial ever again. Shame as i still need to do HM

    Portal stones in AA. I don't like mechanics that prevent you from doing dungeons with less than the maximum amount of people.

    Protip, hit them with a charge attack. For bonus badassery, hit the one holding the person's right wrist.

    My least favorite is probably "TAKING AIM!" Sometimes I feel like the only one that plays with game sound on.

    @DocFrost72 Has that worked for you since TG? I believe I've done that dungeon twice since TG and charge attacks don't do their thing anymore... I thought maybe it was a "bug fix" that we couldn't do that anymore.

    I used chains this morning and it seemed to work I know it's different than charge abilities but kind of the same

    Personally I would consider chains to be a charge, but I have no idea if that is correct either, haha.

    Doc, I was specifically using the Templar charge Toppling Charge which I had previous success with - and I couldn't get it to work. As well I'm almost positive someone had slotted Shield Charge and it wouldn't work either. Maybe it was a one-off (err... 2 off) occasion though. Looks like Fungal is the vet pledge today (going off website - I'm not in game) so looks like I'll try it out again tonight too ;)
