Question about CP and the newer Vet dungeons

flguy147ub17_ESO · March 2017

I played this game for a while before until last June on a different platform About to hit CP 160 and then i can atleast put some decent gear on. But there are a lot of new vet dungeons that werent there a year ago. So which ones should i wait to do and what are the appropriate CP for some of the newer vet dungeons? Like what CP should i be to do Blackheart haven in group finder? Thanks for any help.

You can probs do it for sure. Just look uo a few different build videos and practic in a few normal dungeons to help you get caught up to speed

You can easily do it. Most of us were running vICP at around 140CP when it hit (on console) and orginal prison was not a nice place (the hardest ever) all the others bar Mazzatun are stupidly easy. Cradle doesn't need high CP it just needs all 4 people to at least have sound on and pay attention and dodge like 7 times max.

As you can see, you ask 5 people, you get 6 opinions. And there's always at least one player for whom everything is "(stupidly) easy". I tend to disagree. vICP is not "easy", at least not to the average player.

So don't feel bad or think you're a bad player if you go in there for the first time and get nuked really good by the Lord Warden.

As for your original question: It's impossible to put a "minimum CP" tag on each of the dungeons. Personal skill is at least as important as CP or gear. What you can do is look at an "order of difficulty" of the vet dungeons. Funny thing is, some higher tier ones are actually way easier than lower ones.

To me personally, the easiest vet dungeons are: Darkshade 1, Arx, CoA 1, VoM.

Examples for vet dungeons with hectic end boss (one-shot) mechanics that need to be dodged are: Spindle 1, BC 1, CoH 1, Selene, Direfrost, Blackheart.

End bosses that have one-shots but are more "relaxed": Fungal 1, EH 1, WS 1, Spindle 2.

Quite hectic and movement/mechanic demanding vet dungeons: Fungal 2, BC 2, DC2, EH2, Tempest, Volenfell, Blessed Crucible.

Overall hard and long vet dungeons: CoA 2, CoH 2

Overall very hard vet dungeons: WGT, ICP.

Overall hardest vet dungeons: CoS, RoM

CP don't matter much for vet dungeons. If you have situational awareness and are familiar with boss mechanics, you can do every single dungeon without any cp.
So the question is not how many cp you need, it's how many cp you get during the time you need to remember how this game works and to learn the new mechanics.

However I'd recommend to try and find some friends or a guild to run with and start with the easier dungeons (in general those that have a 1 to it are not too hard).
If you want to go with random groups, you might get kicked for "low" cp because people often take themselves as measure. If they needed 400cp before they could clear a dungeon, they assume that everyone else plays as bad as them and also needs 400cp to be able to clear it.
