Am I being trolled?

    Well if you play a racing game and run a track 100 times and have a good run once out of 100 and beat the par time and take a video of it claiming that is what you hit every time then the guild person might not believe you. On the flip side of the coin why would you lie about your dps in a guild you have been in for months? If your guild doesn't trust you then from my experience with mmo guilds across many mmos the guild person has probably suffered at some point in their life a major crisis of trust and puts everything into strict protocol because they don't have confidence in the people they represent. Ask them if you need to sign a prenuptial and say the lords prayer seven times. If they laugh or at the very least ... then maybe their is fun to be had. If you get booted they probably are soul shriven.

    Actually scratch that. Do the live test. Most likely the main tank will have their camera zoomed all the way out facing the group during a run possibly recording so if you haven't quite found your groove you at least have the silly live test as insurance.

    I can see both sides of it.

    When these high-end guilds that do vet trials are making you demonstrate that you can perform before they take you on a run, it's not out of some need to get at you or prove themselves superior. It's because they don't want 11 other people held up for hours in a run because you are unable to do it. It's the 11 other people they are considering, mostly.

    I must say that 21k with 2 ultis on 2:30 minute mark is not that good. You must spend some more time working on your skill rotation. I mean, on a robust dummy with 6m+ hp I have around the same results on completely self buffed stamina sDK, sNB, sSorc and even sWar is not that far behind. And gear I use is non trial non vMA. If your sorcerer is magicka based, and from usage of ele drain I would assume it is, I think you need more practice.

    There is nothing wrong with the requirement. Your video proof isn't really useful because that might just be your best time out of 100 tries.

    The guild will need you to be able to perform at the required level consistently, on-demand and in front of others in potentially high stress situations.

    There's also nothing wrong with your objection to the requirement. If it's not your cup of tea, it's better to move on and find a guild you are more comfortable with.

    Being able to pull a number once means nothing.

    Once you do it a couple more times it will show you know your rotation.

    If you dps drops below 20k you just could be wasting everyones time.

    Plus if you studied a top players rotation guide like yolowizard or RNC you should be getting close to 30k easy.

    Sounds like you might just be mashing buttonz.

    Cheers!

    Just do the live test. What's the problem?

    I heard the Gold Coast Trading Company needs caravan guards

    Well, if the Vestige really did decide to join as a caravan guard, the next enemies to attack that caravan would be in for a helluva surprise. :p

    Depends on how large is the zerg attacking the caravan.

    No, you're not being trolled. And I say it as someone who puts "20k" requirement for vet Craglorn trials herself.

    a) 21k hitted once is not convinsing, especially if I don't have Combat Metrics statistics for it. It's barely making it and for all I know it may be pure luck: all crits procing, monster set procing, etc. If you made it to ~23k, I wouldn't have questions, because then I would know for sure that you do hit 20k. 21k? No.

    And on itself it wouldn't be bad, but:

    b) 500CP magsorc? Well... s**t.

    As I said, I myself put 20k requirement. But I do it so low-CP players had a chance to participate. If I see 250-300CP hitting 21k (especially consistently), I go into "Awwwww, come on, come on, jump in! I'll show you stuff and you'll learn mechanics now already, so later on you will be super-duper-pro" :D

    21k on 500CP magsorc? Like... Sorry, but I wouldn't be happy :/

    FYI I consistently hit 26k with Blockade of Storms and 24k with Blockade of Fire on 430CP magsorc in crafted Julianos. 21k on 500CP means that your rotation is clearly wrong, so yeah - I too would like to get you to Teamspeak or Discord and have you performing it for me so I could give you some tips.

    It's like... You're really doing it wrong, sorry :/
    English isn't my native, apologies for any mistakes.

    So iv been in this guild for about 4 months and game about 5. really nice people it seems. They told me it was a trials guild when I joined, saying they would give me a first set of gear and everyone is pretty social.

    Okay so I'm almost 500cp sorc. I'll keep my name a mystery. I'm told the min dps test for a progression group they are putting together. I'm told my min dps for my mag sorc will need to be 20k at 2:30.

    So I reached that the other day but instead of using there defuffs I used 2 ultimate. They provide weakness to Eli, orbs and Eli drane I think and spell power. Like you would have in a trial situation.

    And on the test there is no ultimate allowed. But because I had no one to debuff at the time I used 2 ultimate As a replacement.

    I hit the time even when I had pretty bad bar swapp lag.. I'm talking pretty bad as a storm was rolling in and I use line of site 4G 25mbps down 2 up general ping on a speed test is 25ms.

    My end time that day was 21,000k @ 2:23. I showed our leader for privacy I'll call him Doc.
    He says I'll still need to do the test even after video proof from Xbox dvr..

    Am I getting trolled?

    Use this (easy AF rotation) and you'll be fine.
    Even with your lag won't make much difference.

    No elemental,no ulti and trash magicka potions as you can see.
    Now you have no excuse :smile:

    It's not toxic to require minimum DPS for a guild. It's also not toxic to say to someone they can't raid because they don't meet the dps requirements. Toxic would be saying 20k dps is disgustingly low for a 500cp sorc. imo, they did nothing wrong.

    Deep thought here....Technically speaking, isn't complaining about being trolled, actually a form of trolling?

    As many said 20k is pretty low, even without ultimate.

    They dont troll you, they just want to be present to see your dps test...

    No troll, no elitist
