Just a quick question - are you using healing springs on the green (poison) phase? If not, you should probably try using that. Make sure your group stays together - having some people in melee and some ranged during that is what makes healing that phase difficult. If everyone is together, just healing springs through the damage. If someone is refusing to stay with the group at that time and they die, that is on them, not you.

As a side note, the suggestion above to pull the levers WILL shut off the poison, but it will also keep you from getting the hard mode completion, and will cost you the extra key. (unless something got changed with 1T) Some people may get angry with that if it happens to be the days pledge.

Yes I used healing springs. I used every tool I had. I'm not a newbie to healing or my class. I just don't think I was geared enough for that dungeon. I said I don't have problems in normal mode dungeons. There are a couple of level 2 dungeons that are exceptionally hard for me but they are also hard for my entire group.

I was just wondering if there was a way that I could still use random dungeon finder while excluding myself from a few dungeons until I could get better gear. I haven't had one actual "healing" item drop for me since I started playing everything is DPS gear. So I'm healing with an entire set of magic dps gear which I'm sure isn't that ideal.

I know there are items that add to healing like adding buffs and shields if I heal but I have yet to actually see any of those.. The daily dungeon reward has never given me a magic item. I just now replaced a level 22 resto staff. I've had no luck in the gear department.

Which platform are you playing on?

If you Need any tips or gear i can help you out if you are on PS4 EU.

Actually if I knew how the whole guild trading thing and buying stuff actually worked I may be able to find some gear.

Are you having trouble figuring out the guild store search?

Finding anything you want to buy? (Tamriel Trade Centre web site can help, even if it doesn't list everything.)

Not getting stuff you buy? (It comes in mail, but may not alert you until you change zones.)

Give us a hint. (No, I've never faced any of those challenges. )

I enjoy using the dungeon finder tool but more times than not I get selected for a Level II dungeon. Now I'm all for challenge but most of them are so freaking difficult to heal. I'm level 40.. I'm not in BiS gear or anything I'm in a lot of level 1 dungeon gear and quest gear. I have no issues at all healing level 1 dungeons but if I don't accept the queue when it pops up then I have to wait 15 minutes.

I try so freaking hard to heal some of these. There are a couple that are easy enough but the one I was just in makes me want to quit healing all together. I feel so badly for my group. They were very nice to me but I can't help but blame myself. We were on the mechanical spider boss where it changes 3 colors and I tried as hard as I could to heal through the poison phase and if I didn't have it perfectly where my ultimate was ready by the time he changed green we died. There wasn't anything I could do about it. They put up with me for at least 5 tries before I succumbed to guilt and left.

Is there a way to prevent me from getting queued for level 2 dungeons until later? Thank you in advanced.

There is some misinformation in this thread. From those responding to you and from you yourself. Allow me to break it down, just to be sure.

First and foremost, since you are lvl 40, it is impossible to do any veteran dungeons, so this concern of yours is strictly with normal mode dungeons.

You seem to be under some kind of impression that the "level 2" dungeons are a step up, and specifically tuned to be harder, this is simply not true.

The reason the "2"'s seem more difficult is strictly because prior to one tamriel, these were the veteran dungeons, and therefore they were mechanically more demanding. They also came with an entirely different side Story and boss encounters. Fast forward to now, and a major revision has taken place. In an effort to widen available content to all players, zos changed the veteran dungeons of pre 1T to regular dungeons, and added the 2 at the end to simply signify that they are the "second act" if you will story line wise, of the dungeon. Nothing more.

Mathematically, the "2" dungeons are not any more difficult as far as monster tuning and raw stats. You might struggle more with them since there are usually more mechanics invloved in the encounters, but ZOS does not intend for them to be "level 2's". The next step in challenge is exclusively veteran dungeons, which there is a vet mode of every dungeon in the game, including the "level 2s".

I"m level 49 now. So none of this matters any longer :P but thank you for your input.

Just out of curiosity, how is it no longer relevant? Are you saying in those 9 levels you have improved as a healer? Because otherwise, random normals and random veterans are still a thing.

Well, I really don't care all that much because I don't play enough. This game holds my attention for a while then I move to something else. I'm playing LOTRO and WoW as well.

If they would make this game more user friendly and I didn't have to run to the forums every time I would like to know something it would be 1000x more enjoyable. I'm pretty angry I spent $80 for mount speed on one character and found out that it didn't go to all of my characters and I could of spent in game currency to get it. There is nothing in game that says "hey, you can spend in game gold and buy it!" I saw it in the store and thought it was the only way to get faster speed. I feel ripped off.
