If you want to do vmol you have to join a guild. Being a guest is not an option as you need to have regular attendance (preferably at least 2x/week). Being a guest is just out of question. Forget it. It's like asking FC Barcelona to take you into a champions league match as a guest player because you once did well on your local school tournament.schattenkind wrote: »Well, as stated above, I look for a guild that does vMoL and would allow a guest to join the runs.
I cant join any more guilds (due to the great limit of 5) but I would like to do vMoL (and sometimes other trials).
- I can do healing/support but would prefer to not be the main healer (since lack of experience in trials).
- I could do dd, but I lack pve dps toons, therefore it would be not much dps coming from me.
- I play tank also, but that might be to important in trial, even for off-tank, as I would do this with no experience.

I just need a group without charge to join the guild, because I cant. And it has to be a guild who does vMoL, coz a lot dont do this (I ask some already).

However, I have some advice for you.
vMoL is one of the harder veteran trials. I recommend you to first try some of the easier ones: vAA and vHRC to start with, and if you get the hang of it you can also try vSO or vAS.If you want to do vmol you have to join a guild.

No offense, but those points scare away any reasonable trial leader. You will need to have a PvE character you are comfortable with. AA and HRC are usually done with one tank so maybe you do not want the raid to depend on you. Some decent heals are also required. But in 12 man content, DPS are needed the most.
I suggest you start building a DPS and a healer build for PvE. For your healer, get the following sets from dungeons first: SPC, Jorvuld's Guidance, Worm, Mending. Get all the necessary skills and items. Try to do pug or guild dailies and carry the filthy noobs
For your DD, make a build, clear all vet dungeons (including DLC), and practice your rotation on dummies until you get at least 25-30k dps self-buffed. Check that you pull the same numbers on dungeon bosses. Just use a meta/BiS build for your setup that has proven itself; weird builds are there for fun or for people already experienced with standard setups trying to do something new. Easiest to master and most searched for dd setups are: Magsorc, MagNB, stamNB, stamsorc, and stamDK, since many people have tried those classes out already. Remember, you want to get experience in trials, not be the most original.
First join a large PvE guild who does vet dungeons and has vet trial training days. Guilds charging gold are there to carry or are a hoax (except trading guilds but we're not talking about those). Get to know the people that do a lot of PvE there and who lead the trials. Ask them for advice as well.
If you are scared by the time you have to invest to become good at this game's pve side, then perhaps it is not for you.

If you expect that some guild will take a random dude with zero trial experience straight into vMoL because he only wants to get the skin, then good luck with that lol.
If you wanna run this trial only once for skin, then you need to pay gold for it.
There is no single guild on PC EU that will want to take a random guy with them for one run, and who will stop raiding with them after he gets what he wanted.I can do healing/support but would prefer to not be the main healer (since lack of experience in trials).
So you don't wanna heal, you don't wanna tank, and you have too low dps to be a DD. So what do you wanna do there? RP?
If you don't have experience in trials, why the heck you want to run vMoL? Practice in vet Craglorn trials with HM, then move to DLC ones.
That guild probably don't want to be nuked over and over on twins because of some random guy who have no idea what's going on there.

I am sorry to seem harsh: Everyone understands you. No one will take you on a 'guest'. A lot of guilds won't even take their own actual friends (PVPers or PVEers who don't know mechanics) as 'guests' because really 1 guy can wipe a whole group in certain places.
If you wanna pay some millions - you can get your skin - those guilds exist FOR SURE on EU (one French one has advertised here) and I have heard they also do on NA but I would not know.
Be Warned Though: If you ever pay - you will forever be a commodity. Forget ever raiding for real. People talk in discord all the time about payers etc. Some even have 'client lists' they share. It's not a good look. If you only wanna have skin for looks/rp whatever - then you won't care.
If you ever wanna raid for real; you have to earn it or you never will.

Sorry dude, but as others have pointed out, your premises and desires are simply not compatible. You can't say you don't have experience AND be unwilling to join a raiding guild, and yet somehow complete vMoL and not be carried. Practicing normal mode will literally do nothing to prepare you like that, they're completely different trials with vet being 10x more difficult than normal.
Your best bet is to drop one of your current guilds and join a raiding guild that is willing to be patient and help you train. Get experience doing the Craglorn trials first - vAA, vHRC, and vSO. After you've gotten comfortable with those and understand how to heal/whatever role in the easier trials, then you will be prepared to be able to learn vMoL and be able to sufficiently pull your weight. Trying to take any other route is simply a shortcut and plea to be carried, even if you understandably don't see it that way.

Thank you for advice, honestly.
Although, one missunderstanding I would like to clear up: I heal vet and I heal good, including all dlc. I just dont like to be the main healer for beginning, as I need to learn timings and combat specialties.
I am planing on a pve dd anyway, just cant decide what to go for. Healing is my main and best.schattenkind wrote: »- Just for now, I essentially just want to unlock dromathra skin - but, however, maybe I could imagine doing more runs in the future, if it turns out to be fun for me

I m not unwilling to join a guild! I technicaly cant, bc I have 5 already! Pls read the stuff before you hit "reply"...

Is there any reward for most obtrusive trolling?
---
For me this can be closed. 2 helpful replies and a lot of "I dont read but want to give my 2 cents anyway". Posting here was my worst decision ever and I didnt even force anyone to reply.
And yes, I got the point. No trials without guild and training - just thought there might be a way to skip this stupid 5 guilds limitation... And was stupid enough to tell the truth about my primary motivation how I came to think about doing trials - my bad.
