And a dummy parse shows you can do your rotation in the most favorable circumstances to the best of your capabilities. It's a starting off point, if you can do 75k at a dummy there is a good chance you can do a good amount in an actual fight. If you can do 25k on a dummy you probably struggle in a real fight.
75k dummy parse. "Good" amount.
That kind of mentality is why a lot of players say Trial guilds need to chill. The expectations of what is considered good, or decent are through the roof and halfway to Masser. I can get my MagSorc an average parse of 30k and I've taken her through numerous vet Trials without issue.
So just because you are too lazy to get gear and learn a rotation others need to lower their requirements? That's the mentality that gets on people's nerves. And how are those expectations "through the roof" if they can be met by showing a little ambition?

Just a sidenote, with the Julli+MS you can use 2x 1pc crit bonus monster set pieces, doesn't matter which actual monster sets, just two with crit bonus on 1pc, icehart or slimecraw easy to get for helm. It's very close to zaan (and in some not single target ranged fight can even be better than zaan)

What are you implying with this? It's already been established that op and others like him should play as they like, and it's been established that some end game trial guilds are toxic, but not all are. My guild does end game trials and is the farthest thing from toxic. If anyones being toxic it's you right now.

It’s not that the guilds themselves are toxic it’s that generally the loudest folks In the room happen to be the most toxic one’s. Our guild recently expelled a couple members just for that reason. A superstar DPS and a superstar tank. Mostly because the two of them didn’t get along and the petty stuff between them (unrelated to content) made for a bad environment for everyone else. Of course that means we are short a great tank (dps are easy to find) so it looking now is as good a time as any to learn to tank. Acquiring the gear though, not looking forward to that.

I understand that. We've had individuals like that as well. The person I quoted seems to have a chip on their shoulder, and is making rude, sweeping generalizations about people. I thought I'd let them know that they're being rather nasty.
If you want to run with a well organized group as a tank you will wear the gear and such they ask for. I have seen supper role players get kicked because it was more about ”I” than the team. Yes, that included a tank that refuses to wear the gear requested.
If you have an issue with that then you need to find a team that fits your playstyle. As there is nothing wrong with a raid team that has standards.

Just set the expectations straight before joining. There is nothing wrong or toxic about having this kind of requirements, just make sure everyone is on the same page before joining.
Cause gearing up in this game isn't hard and you can easily do it. It's not hard to optimize at a gear level, it's harder to optimize at an up-time level. Sounds like you need a casual friendly trial guild/group. It's all about expectation management.

Wow I am CP 810+ and I still havent done a vANYTRIAL.
I was in one then they told me to parse a dummy. I ran. I am not about to parse a dummy. That isnt real world anyways.

Does it? Read carefully. The OP can clear content just fine without handicap addons or even being CP cap and meta gear.
If he's failing at the trial mechanics, then sure maybe he could take a hint and try Raid Notifier or get a gear upgrade. But if someone is good enough that they don't need a crutch, why force them?
This conversation wouldn't even be a thing on Console where you can't even get a handicap addon.Playboy_Shrek wrote: »I cleared vSS as MT a while ago at cp 390 and I had to pretend I had notifier to get in and people said I did pretty good. and it was a pug lol.

Is it really that hard to slap 2 sets on your character and download an addon that is literally a download-run type addon with no settings (looking at CCA)? That's pretty low price for being allowed in high-end content, don't you think?
Not everyone wants to play with third party combat addons.
Not everyone wants to play with third party addons, period, but given they are pretty much compulsory, due to huge holes in the rest of the game design, we have virtually no choice.
However, we can still play without combat addons, so some people will want to try.
It's kind of depressing that wanting play without addons is frowned upon in these games.
The game should give you everything you need and if it doesn't, you should complain to ZOS.
Not talk as though downloading addons is, somehow, part of the same process as gearing up and so, players are being remiss, or lazy, if they don't do so.

This topic again lol. Here's the thing when progressing vet Trials: it's about team. For the team to collectively have the best chances at success together then all the members of the team need to do several things:
+ Pull their own weight as best they can
+ Use sets, foods, potions, addons, that help them and the TEAM
+ Be willing to adjust as the raid leader asks of them
When everyone/someone wants to 'do their own thing' and be a special snow flake, then the whole thing falls apart. If the other 11 members of the team have worked hard, gotten themselves together, got the warning addons, etc and their runs keep getting ruined because Jimmy Specialbunny won't cooperate, that's just not fair to them.
Of course it can feel stifling, and frustrating haha (I guess... I never found being asked to cooperate to be stifling or frustrating,, but then again I always did team sports and then military and then managerial jobs) but it's called teamwork for a reason. Raid Notifier is really the bare minimum lol, it will dramatically improve your ESO trial/dungeon success. As will Code's Combat Alerts and Hodor's Reflexes.
Even the most chilled and relaxed (and FUN) trial guild I was in required people to use the basic addons mentioned to run with their Vet progression teams.
It's not too much to ask for someone to spend the 5 minutes needed to download and set up the addons. After years of raiding, I've noticed this come up regularly. At least once a month. I've realized that it's not a matter of laziness since it takes zero effort to get the addons, it isn't lack of being informed about them, obviously it isn't because they wouldn't like to be successful. It comes down to pure spite. "I'm not getting these addons / sets / potions / etc because I'm special and nobody tells me what to do!!! *stomps feet* " That's just not gonna cut it in a progression team lol.

No, there isn't, but there is something wrong with implying that *only* raid groups that dictate gear to the tanks have standards...
Trials are a team sport. It's not about you. It's about you and 11 other people. And for supports--tanks and healers--are expected to, well, support the group. Sure, supporting the group isn't the the primary job of a tank (that's to hold aggro and not die), but it is an important secondary job, and refusing to run a certain skill or wear a certain support set is tantamount to you saying that you don't want to do your job.Playboy_Shrek wrote: »I didn't want to specifically use the items they wantedThat should never be a requirement. Addons like that are assistive, and shouldn't be required (particularly in Sunspire for a tank). And as others have pointed out, there's no way to enforce such a requirement. Just say that you're using it--there's no way for anyone to know. That said, doing mechanics properly is a requirement. And if someone reacts too slowly or outright misses a cue, then they're holding back 11 other people.Playboy_Shrek wrote: »codes/notifier, am not sure why is it a requirement.
In an organized trial, players need to ask, "Am I being disrespectful to the time of 11 other people by not being a team player?"
