I'm an objectively bad player. But three weeks of using my face as battering ram has yielded results most sweet.
Defending resto staff for my problems.
I may have looked outside my window to see if there was a parade on standby when the final boss went down.
For those curious, 3 weeks. 2 on the last boss alone. About 100 deaths and on my first character from launch. Pet sorc.
RAWR!!
ps: ffs nerf daedroth lizard monsters

✭Congratulations!
I remember my first time clearing vMA, and (unlike my other first times >_>), this one gave me a surprisingly good feeling of joy and euphoria.1 -

✭✭You know, if you're gonna play glass cannons you can't complain when you inevitably shatter Daedroths are fine as is. VMA is best done with a tanky build if you want less frustration. Will it get you on the leaderboards? Probably not. But I got my first clear with a rattlecage/ kagernac's (all heavy) build and I went in blind--only a handful of deaths. I struggled more with my magblade (BSW/ Lich).
Oh and congrats btw!Edited by Peekachu99 on September 2, 2017 11:35PM0 -

Also took me weeks the first time and almost 200 soul gems on the last boss. Some of us are just bad. Also on mag sorc, tried a couple different builds with and without pets. I would not say I enjoyed it.0 -

I know it's been said before but it does get easier. I suppose I actually enjoy the challenge and am kind of addicted to vma now. But my first clear was crazy. Actually left for a month before trying the last round again. But I made another run the same day and a few more after that and it's much easier. Best drop so far has been a sharp and nirnhoned dagger set. Too bad they're not BiS for PvE anymore.

Well if pet sorc with power surge and 18K+ hardened ward, bound aegis and optionally boundless storm isn't 'tanky' then frankly I don't know what build can be called 'tanky'. I tried first with my stamina DK and got destroyed because I didn't know the mechanics. I managed to reach the boss but that was it. I couldn't beat him. Went in with my sorc (non pet) and cleared it in about 2.5h including the boss. Now I managed to clear it on my DK easily because I already knew all mechanics, I remembered all spawns etc. But that was after 40+ clears on my sorc.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

SoLooney✭✭✭✭✭mag sorcs are not glass cannons, they have great offense and great defense, esp if youre using a pet and by far the easiest class and best choice for first time vma completion. they are glass cannons if you dont have a shield up or let surge run out.
op congrats, my first clear was also with a mag sorc and my only flawless player. may that defending resto guide you well0 -
