The Strongest Vet solo class?

I wouldn't know about vWGT, but mag sorcerer is real good at soloing. Not even 300 CP and my wards keep me alive longer than most 'tanks' while still dropping some serious damage.

You'll find two things about these shields in solo content:

1) Conjured Ward + Annulment is overkill survivability and hurts your resources. You'll rarely need to slot both in PvE

2) It turns out that Power Surge is an awesome heal when you rely on Wall of Elements+Liquid Lightning+Force Pulse to Crit. Having just one shield for when you can get bursted or low on health and then relying on Crit Surge heals is actually better that using both Annulment and Conjured Ward

Took me awhile to learn this! The more you know

And yes Magicka Sorc has many tools for solo play. Not the most survivable but definitely one of the best for solo play.

If you are talking about soloing things like vet Dungeons, trial bosses, etc., they are best done with a magic sorc pet build. For stuff like VMA, I think Stam Sorc is a bit better, but magic sorc is still in second place. Surge is perhaps the most powerful solo skill there is. It is basically a pocket healer and damage buff in a long duration skill.

MagSorc all the way.

That Surge heal is so strong that I still slot it for solo content even when I am using Spell/Weapon Power pots. The heal itself is irreplaceable imo when you Crit at least once every second.

No, not "obviously". Saying he did solo vWGT is different than saying it's like he could've soloed vWGT. That's plain English. And it's not even a big deal. You just escalated it right now by insulting me for no reason

I didn't shove what I did in the OP's face, nor do I somehow need a lesson in "humility" because of my comment. Rather I stated a fact so that if someone lied to them there was no longer any confusion.

That's what most people with any sort of diginity would do both in-game and in real life. Telling the truth to people who were seemingly lied to.

How else do you tell someone that you soloed vWGT, and that you are the only player to ever do so without sounding a bit over the top? That's exactly what I had to get across for the OP not to be mislead by someone likely spreading lies to boost their own ego. None of that can be said in a casual sense

Not really different imo than when someone says they've run vDSA before and then they can't follow the basic mechanics of the Stages, so either the group eventually has to kick them or disband. Benefits no one.

This was not an insult. It was a suggestion. Your solo victory is impressive, and people respect you for it, but when anyone seemingly keeps reaching for approval and admiration, people start to resent them for it.

The post you replied to didn't sound confused. It sounded like the typical average/below average dps that just saw one of his first top tier dps in action. He never said the sorc told him that he soloed vWGT, so he wasn't lied to.

To answer the question in bold I have modified an exert of your post below:

The qualifier I added no longer excludes the possibility that someone else has also done the same feat and makes the statement seem significantly less self centered. Also leaving out the paragraph labeled "Note:" where you repeatedly claim to be the only one and again exclude the possibility of anyone else doing it was the overkill section. You also ironically make a comment about them reaching for attention and ego while doing it yourself.

And for the part of your quote in italics, falsely claiming to have soloed a dungeon and still being incredibly effective in said dungeon is very different from falsely claiming to know a dungeon like vDSA or vCoS and having no f***ing idea what you are doing.

I soloed WGT in real life! Who needs a computer game? In other unrelated news, there were reports of a crazy guy scaring people in the stairwell at the local library, running around yelling "Ultimate!" while wearing a bathrobe and carrying a broomstick...

Really? We can't assume I'm the only person to solo vWGT now?

Makes sense. TOTALLY something that anyone else can accomplish. How dare I claim to be the first XD

The reason I soloed vWGT and recorded it for everyone to see was because it has been a longtime (rightful) assumpion that it was not soloable. It's my favorite dungeon and I know that I'm great at this sort of stuff, so I invested lots of time and gold into beating it.

With your logic I can just tell everyone I soloed Vet Cradle and it would be have to be true -_-

Please, go solo The Planar Inhibitor and then get back to me about other people having soloed it as well without video evidence. You'll find that me claiming to be the first is quite justified.

Thank you for trying to downplay what I've worked so hard to do though. Totally appreciate it. Luckily there have only been a very small group of trolls like you amongst the massive amounts of support I've recieved for even wasting my time on this.

Pet sorc build is super easy to do a lot of lower level content because you have a tank and a healer everywhere you go.

But above level 50 Stam sorc with bow and dw is just a cake walk even with mismatched purple gear

You bet -_-

Tbh, if I manage to beat vCoS, I'm going to make a post about it and then quit both ESO and the Forums for awhile.

Buying a house and beating vCoS are all I have left to do in ESO for myself. Helping low CP players with dungeons, helping friends farm gear, PvPing in this meta..... I think I'd rather take a break from it all now.

I heard from someone last night that Sergeant Armor with lightning staff was ticking 4k for someone.

I suppose you could go with heavy armor build using Sergeant Armor(and another heavy attack proc set), lightning staff, Crit Surge (healing), Bounless Storm, Bound Aegis, Clanfear (tank/heal), and either Hardened Ward (defensive) or Twilight Tormenter (dps). See what that does.

For soloing, I usually go with the typical MagSorc or StamSorc builds myself, but I did finally get my MagBlade geared up and he does pretty well too.

You may be correct, but I know that the Sergeant set was nerfed in Dark Brotherhood. I remember hearing something about this set being powerful as well but before that patch.

Worth testing for sure

Dude....

It's not gonna happen through armor sets. Winterborn was as good as it could get

We have Spellcrafting and the Warden class to look forward to for Cold magic.

Well, the mag sorc has soloed the mantikora

You really should stop overreacting.

The other day, I was in a Group Finder PUG where I effectively soloed the dungeon. And what did the PUGs say in group chat? "Or we could just watch Raven solo this thing." No, I wasn't literally soloing it, but that's their choice of words, because that's how people speak colloquially. Yes, the post was ambiguous, but you could've read the context to arrive at the same conclusions that many others have. But you didn't and instead stirred a tempest in a teapot.

I didn't start anything lol.

I made one comment to the OP, which was a normal comment, that one random guy felt they needed to respond to. That random guy chose to start an argument from it too. That's the natural course of getting points on a Forum, as sad as it is.

And it's laughable that you think you effectively soloed vWGT. I effectively solo 90% of group dungeons I run since I run with lowbies to teach mechanics and be nice. Never once gloated about that or even thought about diminishing another's achievement by bringing it up like it actually serves a point.

I recommend going back to my first comment on this thread and actually reading it. Not only was is not some big self-centered post, but rather instead had constructive information in there. Nothing was wrong with it at all. Don't jump into an argument when you don't know the context, as you've tried to tell me.
