    Anyhoo, congratulations OP, that is a major achievement, whichever way you slice it.

    Good job on your completion, now do it with another Class. That guy calls it easy Sorc for a reason.

    The shield and pets have been what makes sorcs easy. OP did not rely much on a shield with less than 17k health.

    Good job OP

    They weren't the only things, MagSorcs were always the easiest class to PvE with. You don't even need a strong Hardened Ward, you can survive just by keeping Power Surge up the whole time with high enough Crit damage going out. Then the Class's large suite of AoE damage does the work.

    Gratz - don’t let people kill the buzz - significant parts of vMA are always hard to get down the first run through.

    Good news is that it will never be as hard again even if you do run on other classes.

    History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.

    Congratulations! That's a milestone.

    I am still working on it with my MagSorc, he is 448 CP now, it's getting relatively easier.

    I just hate the Frozen Rink. Hate it. Absolutely hate it.

    Common fact that in the year 2018, anything is easier to beat vma as then a sorc. Huge gratz to OP!

    And for anyone saying anything negative about this person choice in class is stuck in 2016 and still says sorc OP when every other class now is easier to play and more effective to play.

    GG!

    Some of you *** should work at Halmark.

    Not everyone lived in vMA when it first came out, and badass as some of you are trying to make yourselves sound, it wasn't always a walk in the park for you either.

    First clear. It's an achievement and OP should be proud of it. Everyone else's timetable doesn't matter here.

    I'm generally cynical, but some of you seriously need to *** off.

    Gratz, OP, and good job ignoring any that feel otherwise.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Earn it.

    Congrats to you!
    I have been playing this game forever & my main is a Sorc. I still have not beaten MA on normal.
    Granted, I've only tried 3 times a loooong time ago, but they were enough to make me want to flip a table.
    I've gotten achievements in everything EXCEPT MA.
    One of these days I'll try it again. Maybe. Probably.

    Actually, no, it's not anywhere close to that. In fact only 1.6% have completed NORMAL. I swear, some of you are so pathetic in trying to poo poo another's achievement in some vain effort to elevate your own status. WTF is wrong with some of you?

    Congrats op, it is no small feat, and with your own build at that! Impressive it is.

    On ps4 only 0.5% have completed vMA. So I agree. It is still a big deal to complete it.

    Lol people are excited about beating Maelstrom 3 years later? And on the easiest class to beat it with at that?

    Magicka nightblade and warden are the easiest class play or beat any content in the game. Reason huge dps.
    For new players warden is the best class. DK too because of wings. Big burst with area. Immune to range attacks. Frost staff massive CC with debuff . Free purge. Only noobs will say that it is easiest to beat with sorc.

    Its basically a DPS race and learning mechanics. Nothing to do with skill . Biggest thing is lag and rng. Most of the time skills wont fire up and have to press button multiple times , only wasting resources.

    All NPCs will one shot you at the same time without any warnings.
    If you have good dps builds its very easy to get through.
    I dare any streamer to do the same maelstrom arena with huge lag.

    Good difficult content should be always make people reactive not simply mechanics or rng.

    Most irritating thing is single target abilities are disabled for no reason while fighting while the target is right in front of you and ability wont fire at all. Down right stupid. I feel very bad for console players.

    VMA is huge buggy piece of ***. CC immunity never works. Targeting is awkward. When I target person in the front it goes somewhere else in back. Not one time not 2 times almost entire arena.
    I feel very bad for console players.
    Always snares CC from everything. Dont worry if dont complete VMA . It means nothing. I would strongly recommend console players to avoid it for peace of mind. Its a garbage piece of buggy ***.

    Its only bugs , lags and no one interested to invest time to deal with all buggy *** is what make this people not able to complete it. Its not skill.

    So far identified bugs :
    CC immunity never works reliably. You will be always snared, feared irrespective of potions or poisons you are using.
    Targeting is highly awkward. It never targets the person in the front. Sometimes it even target person in the back , who just spawned and I not even seen them.
    Your pets will always die for no reason. Just like that.
    Sometimes single target skills never fire, even for the person in the front , wtf.


    I dont know why bugs are not even mentioned for newer players even in streams. Even streamers are downplaying it and as if non existent.

    You should have extremely high dps to deal with all this buggy *** and know the mechanics very well . You will go through with little of luck.

    Most of it pathetic noob dps race design. I ask so called self proclaimed game designers to play it on consoles. At least once. ZOs game designers should learn from other companies how to make difficult content.
