To anyone struggling while leveling...

mavrwb17_ESO · May 2014

I was struggling for a while, taking lots of damage, almost dying even against just 2 mobs. That is, until I learned how to recognize casting and how to block/stun enemies. Now I'm killing mobs 4 levels above me with ease. Most mobs deal high damage from casting abilities. I take very little damage just by interrupting the big hitters.

tl;dr block casting physical mobs, interrupt casting mage mobs, win game.

Yea, the game/combat is so much more than spamming skills/spells etc.

There's a 'tutorial' option that's by default turned off after the very first time you see it which allows you to be prompted whenever something you should block, dodge or interrupt (with what you should do) comes up. You can turn this back on in the options if you need the extra help, though I can't recall offhand what the option is called.

Yeah but a lot of people ignore it because they underestimate the effect of heavy attacks / casted spells.

I am V8 and leveling too fast, I don't want to get to V10 before I have done all the quests. At V10 its harder to level skill lines and I have a few more skills I want to morph etc before they become too hard to level.
