I do not see them as best PVE guild.

I do not see peoples play better than me becouse they have more friends than me, that plays good. If you have 12 good playing people it is easier make trial faster.

But it is far from good play.

Good play is doing it on your own. With less number of people.

With good group we do vBRP for 46 minutes, with bad group 2-3 hours. But we always make it. Becouse we can do it with only 2 of us in group.

It is no problem to one shot boss with over dps, if you have constant people, but it is only 1 game side. If you can not do anything else it is a bad play. You play really bad. You can only do it in some rare condition.

If you can do it solo, yes you play good. If it is impossible to make solo, not depend on others as much as possible is a good game for me.

Different game expirience.

I one shot bosses in another game, it take us to kill any top dunguan boss less than 10 seconds, and what ? Is it a top level gaming. All do so, it is trash gaming. All can do it, but those who can not shot it can not do dunguan.

We can do it by 2 of us, some groups of 10 players can not. Becouse we perfectly know what to do. This is the good gaming, not only 1 side of the game - "we just dps all, if we can not we die".

It is not good gaming it is trash playing.

It is not hard for brain tooneshot with dps. You need know nothing more than stuck all buffs and debuffs in same time. Get big burst - and boss die very fast.

Even if you have 12 potatos with low skill you can do it. Is it now named good pve gaming in this game community ? Very funny.

By the way, infiltrator is very good set.

All sets now get standartization.

As example: relequin - good on solo target, bad in aoe. Azurblight - bad in solo, perfect in solo target + some adds.

I easely do 50 k on dummy with self buffs in relequin + azurblight on self buffs. On NORD. And what ? My azurblight strikes every 7 seconds from adds by primary target, and gives me +dps. If boss is not a solo target i get up to 70 k dps with only self buffs to primary target with only that. + i will do dps to each if this adds.

But this do not work on solo target dummy. So some trash build have more dps on it. Okey. And what ?

I can do AA hm with just me and tank. I do not need any support of other people in group.

Some people try it and do it "right", they really think that they are top guilds, but they afraid that they can lose if they use HM: "oh so hard, oh my god-can we do it?"

810 *12 party ! It is a shame !

Becouse their brain is poisoned by like Alcats players. Thay lose ability to play and think with their own brains !!!

You say Alcats give some think to community? I say it gives brain poison to it. It stole peoples ability to think and play !

People who have brain do not need his builds, they are all the same. Peoples who do not have it get even harder degrodation and will newer start thinking with ownn brain !!!

Do you know how we do vAA for example ?

We take any 300+ cp players. We can not fail here, we even have no thoughts like it in brain. Becouse we can do it only with 2 of us ! We have brain. If any 1 in group have it it is pissible to make just by cooperation even if i go solo.

vMol is not as simple, becouse your party members can wipe you any time, but we give a big +chanse to groups like that.

vCR is a problem, to many mechaniks to make, have not got enough people to not depend on others. And to many bugs with senergy, disconects and etc.

But vHof, vAS, vSS, is simple. And it is not your bad play if ither player wipes you.

If you just always play same way with constant people - yes you win the dunguan this way. But you will newer learn to play.

Becouse ability to play is like understanding the reasong of life. It can only be obtain in different situations. Not always one - the same. And such deeper it will be, as harder it will go.

Goodness gracious, what in the name of Oblivion did I just read?

What you read is a whole lot of bs.

The whole reason why they can one shot bosses is exactly because they are good players, and they are very coordinated.

Like imagine if someone said to you, you are not doing your job well because you are very fast and efficient at doing it, you should be slower and less efficient, like wtf.

I find the effort Alcast puts into his website amazing.
IMHO his website is the best place to get a clue about the game, builds and new ideas - a great foundation.
Later, YOUR best build fits YOUR playstyle best - so you develop and refine it YOURSELF according to YOUR needs.

If you play better in one setup and do more dps good, but, the best setup is the one that mathematically is the best, because if you play that perfectly you will get the best damage.

That's about it, you can play a "worse" setup better if you are comfortable with that , but that doesn't mean it the best overall, it just means it's the best for you.

Agree. I get the same with my tanking. It doesn't just apply to the DD role.

rotaugen454 · February 2020

I find his builds to be a great starting point, then I adjust for whether I am in coordinated group or pugging, which dungeon/trial etc. I bother to actually read his explanations, and have learned a lot by it. I seriously doubt anyone knocking him have contributed near as much to players game knowledge.

Really? Using Alcast's site stops people from thinking?

Odd. I'm using the basics that I have learned from his site to now theory craft my own original tanking builds that aren't even remotely like anything on his site, his site being the only builds page I have ever looked at, BTW.

The coverage of basics there is that good, and it is important to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run, and run before you sprint.

JinMori · February 2020

Anyway, the point of builds is not exactly about following pin point perfectly, being a good player allows you to make choices based on the content, so alcast build may be the best for trials, but not exactly the best for dungeons.

Just an example, but if you outright say, alcast builds are not good, then you don't know what you are talking about.

This is what happens when you go for skooma AND hist sap in one night.

Joke aside; when you see a whole lot of informed opinions weighing out the pros and cons of things, and then you see one person going full "zomg there is only ONE RIGHT WAY 2 PLAY AND URE ALL TRASH", you sure know who to trust...

I disagree. Damage is only one aspect of a build, similar as speed is for a racing car. However, speed alone is not enough because the fastest car only wins if the track is a straight line... As most racing tracks look different, aspects as traction or brakes also are essential

Racing cars are designed according to tracks, and ESO builds also are designed according to a purpose. For example, you rarely would go with your PvE build into PvP...

We can crunch the numbers with math, it's min maxing, that's basically math. Doesn't necessarily mean highest dps threshold, although in pve it usually means that.

As long as you can survive you want to use the setup that allows you to get the absolute best dps.

Min maxing is basically what are you going to boost and what are you going to sacrifice? If you have the skills and can survive, you want to get damage, as much as you can, and enough health and other things enough to survive one shots and damage in general, becuase some will be impossible to avoid.

You may not agree with all his recommendations (I know I don't), but to throw salt at the time and effort the guy puts into providing content, is just damn mean spirited. I applaud him for his efforts and hopes he sticks around.

Post video proof of you doing vAA with just you and a tank or else I'll consider all of this utter BS.

Also, it's a game, dude. It's not that serious.

And outside of PvP, which everyone knows Alcast is lacking in, 99% of it doesn't require any sort of build at all.

phwaap · February 2020

I was just recently thinking how much I appreciated Alcast's updates through all of the changes. Instead of having to waste my time figuring out how to adjust champion points, skills, gear, etc., I just referenced his builds and got back to playing.

Thank you, they rock.

Septimus_Magna · February 2020

My main source for builds usually comes from Alcast's website because its very well-written, there are multiple options and he explains most choices. I always check other builds to see what they do differently, and most importantly, why they make those choices. After that I test to see what works for me, usually I end up somewhere in the middle or I switch depending on the fight.

A build that works very well in Sunspire might be terrible for Asylum, pushing for the the optimal setup means you need to adjust to the specifics of the fight. You can run one setup for everything but it will not be optimal by default.

There's no PvE content more difficult than vet trials.

It's totally in vogue to dump on Alcast for whatever reason.

Granicus · February 2020

Having checked out several streamers videos/website/builds I’ve down selected on Alcast’s as my Go To location for builds. Though I do try variations from his builds I use his websites as good reference. I agree with others here it is a good starting point and appreciate the effort he puts into keeping things updated. I also use his Sets and Skills websites as well.

For any who wish to criticize someone who puts that much effort into helping to inform/educate the ESO community I ask - where are your videos/websites/builds?

Thanks, @Alcast your time and effort are appreciated, clearly by many!

Aznarb · February 2020

Alcast build is a good starting point.
They're all standard build.

If you want better you'll have to do your own test, calcul and build, that the long way, but the best way imho.
You can also check on youtube : Liko, Theasiangod, Xynode and Sherman, Sherman is a bit special, all his build are themed and mostly for fun or solo (not all some are good overall) but you can find some interesting idea to test sometime.

For heal I'm not a big fan of all of them. Well to be fair I don't like any guide and build I've seen as healer across internet, not my taste and not creative enough.

Find your way, I was lost too at the start. Now I make my own build and some for Tank and heal friend (don't really know/interested by dps) and all content is almost clear.

GL to you, take your time, it's not a race

Heelie · February 2020

Alcast is the only big content creator worth following, some of the smaller ones like Liko also does great videos but they're not very approachable by people not already into the content

Hit the nail right on the head.

rotaugen454 · February 2020

Hearing people bash his builds but not provide videos of their builds clearing the hardest PvE content reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon where a character that tells other how to do things but can’t do it themselves finishes by saying “Those who can’t do, teach”.

The biggest mistake I see people make with Alcast builds is not understanding how the gear, skills, potions, and food work together. People take bits and pieces of his builds ("I can't get this set so I'll just substitute this set that I can get") without realizing that some aspects only work well because of the other aspects.

It pays to read the stats on each skill and item and understand why he chose what he chose. If you need to make a swap because you don't have a certain item or skill, make a swap that doesn't disrupt the synergies among all the items.

Definitely agree with the above.
Let me add that everyone has a personal style of play, so cannot be any single recipe good for a build. This impinges in biggest elements, like the set choice, but also on apparently minor ones, like the disposition of skills on the UI.
As an example: my magplar was stuttering in her almost pure alcast set. Using Shroud of the Lich (a set rather popular in PVP, but not so much in PVE) has revived her.
It this THE solution to every problem? OFC not, It worked for me, and I cite it only to stress that personal research is THE way.
That said, Alcast's build are usually good starting point, and he does a wonderful work of analysis

He doesn't really tell you what his guild is doing.

As someone who has seen the old Hodor eso logs I can with 100% confidence tell you that for the most part AlcastHQ is the same as what the top tier raiders are using

I do not see them as best PVE guild.

I do not see peoples play better than me becouse they have more friends than me, that plays good. If you have 12 good playing people it is easier make trial faster.

But it is far from good play.

Good play is doing it on your own. With less number of people.

With good group we do vBRP for 46 minutes, with bad group 2-3 hours. But we always make it. Becouse we can do it with only 2 of us in group.

It is no problem to one shot boss with over dps, if you have constant people, but it is only 1 game side. If you can not do anything else it is a bad play. You play really bad. You can only do it in some rare condition.

If you can do it solo, yes you play good. If it is impossible to make solo, not depend on others as much as possible is a good game for me.

Different game expirience.

I one shot bosses in another game, it take us to kill any top dunguan boss less than 10 seconds, and what ? Is it a top level gaming. All do so, it is trash gaming. All can do it, but those who can not shot it can not do dunguan.

We can do it by 2 of us, some groups of 10 players can not. Becouse we perfectly know what to do. This is the good gaming, not only 1 side of the game - "we just dps all, if we can not we die".

It is not good gaming it is trash playing.

It is not hard for brain tooneshot with dps. You need know nothing more than stuck all buffs and debuffs in same time. Get big burst - and boss die very fast.

Even if you have 12 potatos with low skill you can do it. Is it now named good pve gaming in this game community ? Very funny.

By the way, infiltrator is very good set.

All sets now get standartization.

As example: relequin - good on solo target, bad in aoe. Azurblight - bad in solo, perfect in solo target + some adds.

I easely do 50 k on dummy with self buffs in relequin + azurblight on self buffs. On NORD. And what ? My azurblight strikes every 7 seconds from adds by primary target, and gives me +dps. If boss is not a solo target i get up to 70 k dps with only self buffs to primary target with only that. + i will do dps to each if this adds.

But this do not work on solo target dummy. So some trash build have more dps on it. Okey. And what ?

I can do AA hm with just me and tank. I do not need any support of other people in group.

Some people try it and do it "right", they really think that they are top guilds, but they afraid that they can lose if they use HM: "oh so hard, oh my god-can we do it?"

810 *12 party ! It is a shame !

Becouse their brain is poisoned by like Alcats players. Thay lose ability to play and think with their own brains !!!

You say Alcats give some think to community? I say it gives brain poison to it. It stole peoples ability to think and play !

People who have brain do not need his builds, they are all the same. Peoples who do not have it get even harder degrodation and will newer start thinking with ownn brain !!!

Do you know how we do vAA for example ?

We take any 300+ cp players. We can not fail here, we even have no thoughts like it in brain. Becouse we can do it only with 2 of us ! We have brain. If any 1 in group have it it is pissible to make just by cooperation even if i go solo.

vMol is not as simple, becouse your party members can wipe you any time, but we give a big +chanse to groups like that.

vCR is a problem, to many mechaniks to make, have not got enough people to not depend on others. And to many bugs with senergy, disconects and etc.

But vHof, vAS, vSS, is simple. And it is not your bad play if ither player wipes you.

If you just always play same way with constant people - yes you win the dunguan this way. But you will newer learn to play.

Becouse ability to play is like understanding the reasong of life. It can only be obtain in different situations. Not always one - the same. And such deeper it will be, as harder it will go.

Goodness gracious, what in the name of Oblivion did I just read?

What you read is a whole lot of bs.

The whole reason why they can one shot bosses is exactly because they are good players, and they are very coordinated.

Like imagine if someone said to you, you are not doing your job well because you are very fast and efficient at doing it, you should be slower and less efficient, like wtf.

I think he means other players using his builds. To be fair, I have met players like the OP describes. They can only beat the dungeon if they can dps fast enough to skip mechanics because they do not understand them. If I had to judge who understands the mechanics the best, it's usually the player that managed a complete in trash gear vs the one in good gear. But, there are also plenty of players in very good gear who both understand all the mechanics and can push out enough dps to skip some of them anyway.

At least in dungeons. Vet trials you need the latter group because the one that understands the mechanics but has trash dps don't exist lol.

"For the most part" being the key phrase there.

Not really the only thing they don't share is a couple of trash pack builds, what makes the difference in teams is the different pulls as well as team combs, for the most part all the top teams use the same builds, and these are all publicly shared across a lot of platforms
