Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

My gear and stats seem fine good enough, seems I just lack skill now...

As the title suggests, I am struggling a great deal trying to get end game stats. I have completed all but the 4 DLC vet pledges, the three normal group trials and normal maelstrom. I struggle horrifically with everything else and have just chalked it up to sheer lack of skill. Just like some people will never be good at drawing no matter how hard they try or practice, I think I have hit the roof on my ESO capability (sadly).

I've tried the meta Hunding's Rage, 3x agility, 2 leki daggers, skoria/velidreth/guardian, etc. and I have an even worse time. The ONLY times I can even get close to completing is in heavy armour (I can get to Planar Inhibitor and the Giant Atronach in ICP in heavy but not medium).

So, please do me the favour of perusing my character sheet and tell me everything's gonna be okay. lol.

    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.

    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.

    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

    The non-DLC vet dungeons are pretty easy actually, not quite adequate to prepare you for the DLC ones. I completed all but VCoA at V1-3 and that one at V4, when veteran ranks were still in the game. Don't remember the exact CPs but I hadn't specced any by that time. But even now with max CP I find it challenging co complete VICP and VWGT with random groups if one or more players don't know the mechanics and don't know to play their builds. It's next to impossible to complete VRoM and VCoS with such groups. I had completed all 4 though, even the hard modes on the last two. But I don't consider myself skilled enough yet to try VMA. I will wait a few more months before I attempt it.

    1. IMO, if you are having trouble, drop vamp or stay in stage 1 when pveing. Vamp increases your incoming fire damage. In a solid group it manageable, but it just makes things snowball if you are already struggling.

    2. For Maelstrom pull up to one of the many video guides out there and learn the mechanics of each round. Good maelstrom scores involve some skill, but completing is more about putting in the effort to learn the mechanics than skill. Stam sorcs information can be found at the following URLs.
    http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/arcann-fear-turbo-eso-stamina-sorc-vma-552k/
    alcasthq.com

    3. Similar to number 2, the dlc dungeons are about knowing the mechanics. Learn them and form groups of people that know them. The less DPS you do the more important mechanics are.

    I wiped 3 times and quit at Ibomez yesterday because people were to dumb to use the flesh grenades on the zombies. They were almost max CP so I doubt they didn't know the mechanics. They probably imagined they could just stack and burn them. Had about 5 atronachs spawned with ~50% on boss at one time, and of course they enraged and killed us quickly. Yes, some people who have so many CP are really THAT stupid. And don't even get me started about the pinion at planar inhibitor. I have to drink patience potions for the pledge this evening :)

    The only solace in solo content like VMA is probably that if you fail, it's 100% your own fault, or at least something independent of yours/other people's actions, like being DC or the arena glitching (ex. having infinite spawns on some adds).

    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.

    Gear is fine, stats are fine. Could drop some regen for crit maybe. What mundus do you use?

    Bars need some adjusting. My setup is:

    DW:
    Bound armenents
    Steel tornado
    Vigor
    Rapid strikes
    Bloodcraze
    Flawless dawnbreaker

    Bow:
    Crit surge
    Endless haul
    Bound armaments
    Poison injection
    Hurricane
    Overload

    Overload:
    Bound armenents
    Rearming trap
    Vigor
    Dark deal
    Caltrops

    I swap steel tornado for Rearming trap in single target fights and trials. I drip vigor for expert hunter in trials too. Drop overload for shooting star.

    But if you pug, a big chance is that you might it be the issue. The 4 DLC dungeons require teamwork.

    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.

    4 - [url="http://"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLSE6-Zsy7U[/url]

    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.

    Why Night Mothers Gaze? All it does is add a small amount of critical at the loss of 129 weapon damage and a whole lot of resistance and health?

    (2 items) Adds 688 Weapon Critical vs. Adds 129 Weapon Damage

    (3 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage

    (4 items) Adds 688 Weapon Critical

    (5 items) Critical attacks also reduce the target's Physical Resistance by 2580 for 6 seconds vs. major brutality

    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!

    I agree for the stupidness, but actually it was possile to burn him down before the instance was patched another time. In fact there is even a method to burn him down nowadays, which might count as an exploit, although you just use the given game and skill mechanics :-)

    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.

    Not only do you lack skill, you lack skills. That's a terrible bar set up, it's only AoE skills.

    I mean, why do you have hurricane and Flawless Dawnbreaker on both bars?
    Get Twin Slashes, Flurry for your DW bar and Poison Injection for your bow.

    My standard PvE set up looks like this.
    1.Blood Craze
    2.Rapid Strikes
    3.Rearming Trap(on this bar for more weapon damage, Fighters Guild passive)
    4.Steel Tornado
    5.Bound Armaments
    U.FLawless Dawnbreaker

    1.Poison Injection
    2.Endless Hail
    3.Hurricane
    4.Critical Surge
    5.Bound Armaments
    U.Whatever i feel like,Meteor or Overload for the third bar mostly

    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!

    Try this:

    DW bar
    Twin slashes (preferred morph)
    rapid strikes
    hurricane
    steel tornado
    bound arnaments

    Bow bar
    Dark deal
    poison injection
    crit surge
    endless hail
    bound arnaments


    drop all of that extra stam recovery you've got and put it in weapon damage; your cost reduction and dark deal is more than enough to sustain you. I'm personally trying out a 2pc gladiator with a dagger and axe for the extra weapon crit; finding its more useful than leki's weapon damage. On that note, I reccomend using one axe on your dw; that bleed is very, very good

    here are my stats, for reference; unbuffed of course

    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

    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!

    This is misinformed advice. The OP is looking for improvements to PVE DPS capabilities (and a lot of good advice has been provided on that score). ThE advice you gave all pertains to Stam Sorcs in PVP content, which is completely different.

    OP, listen to previous advice about skill adjustments. Ignore this for your purposes.

    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.
