Thanks for super fast reply and a lot of helpful info

I should have clarified:
My rattlecage consists of - Amulet, Rings and staff (so no heavy armor)
5 piece light Julianos
1medium iceheart
1 heavy iceheart

But yes I totally see your point that I might as well go with Power Surge as it should give me enough heals.

Mundus stone: The Apprentice

Main Bar:
Cystal Frags, Force Pulse, Endless Fury, Inner Light, Bound Aegis

Back Bar:
Liquid Lightning, Elemental Blockade, Critical Surge, Empowered Ward, Bound Aegis


OK, off to farm some stuff

Would you prefer Slimecraw or Ilambris? I'm not a huge fan of these random proc shoot a fireball at random target idea, but maybe I should give it a chance!

Also, I was using a lightning staff on both bars since I couldnt get Rattlecage to drop in flame. But ideally I'd like a flame on main bar.

Thanks again, super helpful!

Unless you have Undaunted rank at least 7 -- and preferably 9 -- there's little benefit to going 5-1-1 on your armor weights.

I always gear up my characters like that since getting undaunted 10 is trivial. I don't like to optimize my gear for the week it takes me to get there, then change. When I make something legendary, I ensure it serves for months, if not years

Getting to Undaunted 10 is far from trivial, if one is new at running dungeons. In fact, I haven't done it yet on any character, although I do have one at 9 -- which is the important cut-off -- and several others in the 6-8 range.

I've done it on 6 characters. Save for the first, which took maybe 2 weeks, as there were fewer achievements back then and probably the reputation for for doing pledges was smaller (if it was at all) it took me 4-5 days of running pledges going from 4 (which you can reach by doing general dungeon achievements) to 10.

If you find it hard to find a group just gear your character for a support role, meaning healer or tank. Any magicka character can heal reasonably well using just Restoration Staff line and a few other general abilities, and any stamina character can tank reasonably well equipping 5 pieces of heavy armor and 1H+S on the front bar at least. The only supplemental requirement in this case is to level Assault and Support to at least 4 to unlock Warhorn. This can be reached in an afternoon in Cyrodiil and even in Battlegrounds. Actually at low CP and when you're not experienced enough I reckon is better not to play as DD.
