Lack of skill is exactly why I cant complete them I'm pretty sure. I just wanted to know if my stats seem viable for the content I'm attempting, because if its not my rotation or stats, then it must be cos I just plain suck at ESO, which in itself isn't too bad, just means I can stop trying and focus on other stuff.

One problem I see is that you have on single target abilities on either bar. You can't just run up to a boss and spam steel tornado all the time. For dw throw flurry and rending slashes in there somewhere.

Maybe replace expert hunter and hurricane with those skills on dw bar. That should help a decent bit

Thanks! I've only tried with PUGs, usually have pretty decent luck, but I added those two DW moves to bar as suggested.

Cheers again.

What the other guy said you have no spam able once your dots are down... Use flurry

It depends on what you are trying to complete and why you can't do it. In group content, a number of factors could lead to the team's death including: low dps, poor healing, poor mob control, tank or healer running dry of resources, stand-in-reditis, dps thinking they don't have to rez, or generally dps thinking they don't have to dodge attacks/self-heal.

Specifically in terms of stats, I'd say vMA, PvP, (with different skill loadouts) vWGT, vICP, vRoM, and vCoS should be doable.

I will say that as a DPS I capped out pretty quick and found my own skill ceiling. So I tried healing in group content to see what that would teach me. I hated it. So I tried doing Imperial City Sewers (back when the mobs were still challening), it was a good mix of high risk, high reward pve with some PvP thrown in. That taught me to survive, and then I tried tanking. Tanking became my true love in this game. It's only now, like 6 months later that I returned to DPS and found I could complete vMA (on two characters with massively different set ups)!

The four DLC dungeons rely mostly on a knowledge of mechanics in the fights. These fights force you to learn them or die.

vMA is knowledge of mechanics AND rng.

But if you are having trouble with group content, seriously give tanking a try. It requires the least gear/stats out of any role in the game to be effective in 95% of group content.

In order to increase your "Skill" in gameplay you should do the following:

1 - Learn the mechanics of the fight. (And then practice)

2 - Wear proper items: Yours are far from optimal, try Night Mother's Gaze for solo/4 man Dungeons. 2x Velidreth, 3x agility, 2x leki's daggers should be fine.

3 - You don't have single target DPS abilities: Not having a lot of AoE is not important. It is REALLY important to have high single target DPS.

Make sure you look up this video and use the same skills he's using and the same champion points and you'll see how you start improving. Also look up for a guild and go with organized groups on teamspeak.

Your crit seems very low, especially on a Khajiit.

How much CP do you have? Make sure you have CP in the Ritaul tree to get the 12% crit. At 531 I go 80 Mighty, 50 Thaumaturge, 47 Precise Strikes.

All divines gear with the Thief Mundus.

Use at least one dagger. I use Sharpened Maelstrom Axe and Precise Maelstrom Dagger, but you could do the same with Lekis.

Hundings is not so great for PVE. Go with Night Mothers Gaze or Twice Born Star. If TBS use the Thief and Shadow.

NMG is great for group and solo content. Hundings is it's sworn enemy. Night mothers shines though

531 cp, its just lack of skill honestly. Ah well! I'll just avoid high end content

skill is only peeked if you give up these guys gave you great tips only have steal tornado on when aoe is needed anyone can be a top tier player

And I thank you all. Since putting rapid strikes on the bar, and reinforced vigour, I've been doing amazingly better in the pledges today. Even to a point of solo'ing a few normal dungeons.

Now to practice in vMA!

Your crit chance is way too low. In PvE, crit is extremely important, and crit damage should account for a very large portion of your overall damage. Esp. as a Khajiit, you should be well over 70%.

Completing group content is not just about 1 persons stats, it should be doable if you have an organised group and are aware of boss mechanics.

For group content, composition is very important, too. Yesterday, I was tanking the vWGT pledge with two PUG DPS. We wiped a number of times on Kena before we vote-kicked one of them (my first time ever vote-kicking someone for being bad). Got another PUG as a replacement, same problem. I finally brought in a someone on my friends list, and we killed Kena in one attempt with no deaths. Sometimes all it takes is one bad player to bring down an entire group. In this case, his low damage (hard-casting frags, not using his execute, and refusing to use Overload instead of Barrier even after we pointed out that DPS should not run Barrier) meant that atronachs were not dying and were wiping us, and his constant dying to simple mechanics like the exploding adds meant that we lost even more time and DPS rezzing him. The other DPS was competent and did fine, but wasn't at the level where he could pick up the dead weight and solo-DPS the boss. The moral of the story is, it's hard to judge performance in group content because so much of your performance also depends on how the rest of the group is doing. Bad players can look good if the rest of the group is very good and basically carries them through. And good players can look bad when they get overwhelmed by the slack left by bad players.

Changed mundus to thief, crit mow 61.6%, stam regen 1218. Thats as high as I can get crit without sacrificing survivability.

Wish me luck!

Well OP right off the bat I don't see the khajit race as helping a stam sorc unless you are constantly using invisibility potions...

I don't know much about stam sorc mechanics, but I have heard from numerous videos that stam sorc is not something you can just pick up and do. This has prevented me from leveling a stam sorc just yet.

If you can do these things, I would make three small suggestions...

1) Change your race to Orc I think you will have a lot more fun with that speed boost Orc has

2) Watch a bunch of recent stam sorc videos on ytube. "recent" being in the last 6 months.

3) Try Black Rose Heavy Armor you can buy it from IC venders with Stones

Again, from what I have read on the forums and seen in stam sorc videos, very few people have optimized their stam sorc builds... So don't feel bad at all! It seems like this is a harder build to play at a high level with than most. Good luck!

Just a a little story:

I have a friend who started out as a nightblade. I tried to teach her a little but she was a mess, beyond teaching ( I'm not sure if it was her, or maybe lag ). She has a hard time moving fast, never hides when you should, and tends to stand in front the enemy and not move.

Well, my friend switched to a tank. Now, I think she is one of the best tanks i've ever played with. She is still a little new but she is awesome as a tank.

I guess what I am trying to get at is, maybe if you are having problems with one class, then you could switch to a different class to see if that helps. I personally think practice makes perfect. Keep trying, and learning and you will do good.


You are more than welcome to join our guild 'Friendly Dungeon Runners', we have some really good players that might see your problem and might give you some advice. We do dungeons daily ( silver and gold ), and some members do trials. If interested email me in game if you are on PC/NA @vamp.emily

@Bobby_V_Rockit

Take this how you will, but understand my ultimate goal here is to help, not criticize.

I've spent a great deal of time helping people build their characters, as well as teaching people instance by instance how to complete pve content. Literally yesterday I spent an hour or more teaching a couple of newer players how to manage the Planar Inhibitor. Hopefully that speaks to my credibility.

In my honest opinion, you need a mentor. You need a guild or a small group of friends who want to help you learn mechanics and get better. But for this to work, you need to drop the mentatlity that suggests you've reached you're "player skill" peak. Ask me a year ago, ask me a year from now, I won't believe that's the case. If you want to be a better player (and there is always room to improve), and are willing to take suggestions and spend some time learning and practicing, then you have what it takes to get there.

I'll take you in myself if you're on PC NA. Otherwise I strongly encourage you to seek a small pve progression guild. Your best bet to getting this kind of individual attention and instruction is with a guild of less than 100, most likely. If you've got room to ask questions before you join (and you should, for any quality guild that wants you to be happy among their ranks), inquire as to whether or not they participate in veteran trials, and if they have members who can help you with each stage throughout vMA.

You may be thinking here, "not so sure about vMA and veteran trials." My guild has helped quite a few people make their way through vMA, arena by arena, and week by week. It's definitely not an overnight process, at least not for the majority of players, but believe me when I say that completing vMA makes you into a better player. It's a process, it's an experience, and it will make you into the player you claim to aspire towards, given your OP.

Give it some thought. Hit me up if you're on PC NA and interested. Otherwise, best of luck in finding the right guild. Chances are you'll go through a couple until you find the right one, but when you find it, you'll know it.
