Hi I've been trying to do the daily pledge for a while now, I have a decent team with me but I'm cp140 and I have to be perfect to be worth keeping around.

I'm using Dragon Fire Scale,Carve and Volatile Armour to aoe(most are magicka but that seems my aoe choices)

Is there anything I'm missing?

    DW beats 2H damage in PvE for both AoE and single target by a huge number.

    As you are still getting used to it. I would suggest using DW as main weapon and 2H as buff secondary weapon.

    Later on, switch to DW/Bow once you are quite used to your rotations and don't need any additional help from Rally.

    Steel Tornado will be your best friend here. And I suggest to queue up with a StamNB, Stamsorc or Stamplars for vDC as you are quite low level, they are all capable of dealing incredible AoE damage especially StamNBs.

    Magicka skills will deal awful damage on a stamina build. You need to use stamina based AoE. Look into Whirlwind from Dual Wield, Cleave from 2H, Volley from Bow, etc.

    Yeah I am low, been grinding a lot but it only goes up quickly when I'm enlightened.

    So 2H isn't preferred for AoE dps? I built DW as secondary but I didn't see results on single target so I got rid of weapons. Getting new ones won't be a issue

    That seems a fair plan. I do really like using executioner though so I don't know if I could go without 2H forever:P who knows what will be best by the time I get to 501 anyway haha
