Do the delves-quest.

just queue for DD for 1 (if you got eso plus or all DLCs 2) dungeons and go for the delve. If you're done with that and haven't gotten an invitation, go for the remaining unqueued dungon (solo). This way you always have something to do and to return to when PUGing inbetween.

If you queue as a tank to level Undaunted in normal dungeons, all I'll ask is that you have a taunt, hold boss aggro, and you be able to stay alive.

Just don't be a fake tank with no taunt. It's annoying AF when the boss is all over the place or aggroed on somebody who can't handle it and shouldn't have to if you were doing your job as tank.

I usually level undaunted through the Delves quest or rebuilding as a tank.

I fully leveled the undaunted line doing only the daily solo quests.

Joined multiple guilds, keep looking for ppl in guild chat that want to run pledges. There's almost always someone wanting to run pledges. All you need is one other person, doesn't matter what role and que's are almost insta.

I queu'd as a tank with an unchanged damage build. Just burn through the dungeons.

Only for non-dlc normal dungeons, though. So naturally, only Maj-al and Glirion's stuff.

No veteran mode, or DLC. A tank is necessary for those.

I would gather some friends and share quest the dailies daily

Perhaps find a group of others who would also like to complete each dungeon and progress with them. Likely 10-15 folks or more ...also consider PvE guilds that do group content on a weekly basis

For dps I mostly play mag, so I do the same thing for levelling those chars. I level to 15, equip destro and resto, level up skills and morph springs and mutagen, and then queue in normal random dungeons as heals. Level up more skills, more passives, etc. Run with purple crafted training gear, crafted twice at level 15 and again at level 30-36. Really the only difference I make is the resto line and maybe a couple class healer skills, which I respec out of post-50 with the level up reward respec scrolls. EZ PZ levelling for under 50 normals.

I started a new character last week and the time has come to level their Undaunted skill line, but the character is a damage dealer, which means queues would last days. So I turned them into a tank, and wanted to see how many people do the same, or don't.

So when you level Undaunted playing dungeons (assumed Veteran, Normal only would take forever) on a character you want to eventually be a damage dealer, what do you do?

When I queue for Normal dungeons, I run my dps specced MagPlar, and check off the DPS box.

I could queue as a healer and get in lickity split, but I don't run around with a heal spec. Why? I find healers get a lot of grief and blame-- not always, but often enough. Since EQ (Cleric and Shaman), and EQ2 (Warden and Defiler), I learned how to heal very well. The dynamics back then were so much more difficult, but ultimately very satisfying. I could heal through any content I decided to enter.

But, there is the blame factor when you know what hits the fan, or someone refuses to listen and keeps dying THEN blaming. The role I used to love became something that I now avoid like the plague.

So..I'm a closet healer. I DPS rather well, but I have the skills slotted to back up the person who joined as the group's healer. It has worked out extremely well, as I've been in more than one situation where a little extra love was needed, and I was there to give it.

Besides. Normal dungeons are supposed to be fun. I can solo most of them, aside from the newer DLC BS where "Normal" is full on Vet mode. I have yet to go in with a group and have it come anywhere close to a fail. Sometimes the last boss takes a bit to take down, but for the most part they are smooth sailing.

I have 7/7 characters who are level 10 in undaunted. Every single one of them made 90% or more of their progress simply doing daily delves. Takes a while but so does horse training. Just a daily routine when committing to a character. As they gain some experience, I may augment this a bit by sharing daily delve quests or perhaps even running a few of the easier pledges with others.

I have a healer and a tank and their training was no different. I did not subject them to pugs until they were fully competent in their roles. Yes, their queues are shorter but they take their role responsibilities very seriously. I'd never pug as a tank or healer unless that character fully embraced the role and was proficient at it. Short queues are a poor reason to heal or tank - if it ain't in your heart to heal or tank, don't do it.

i totally wanted to "close my eyes and return undaunted"
