Sorc dont need staves and wands or anything, with Critical surge they can solo everything.

Proof or are you just pulling things out of you know where?

If you store stuff up there, keep it to yourself, we dont want any part of it, just being able to post such an idea says alot about you

Tons of videos on youtube of Sorcs soloing stuff, even dolmens with crit surge as their main way of healing. Oh yeah, if stuff is even remotely going bad, they bolt away for a new try.

You are explicitly talking about Sorc soloing 12 man craglorn content but now you are talking about dolmens huh? I guess your video hunt didn't go to well. Come on man, you have to admit that it is humorous that your bolded message text is crying about a misguided post title that implies the NB solo'd craglorn 12 man content, when at the same time you are making the same exact mistake with Sorcerors.

Can someone please tell me which combat add on he was using? I would love to switch to it. The addons are what make this game playable for me

I think it's calls cloud or combat cloud.

Nightblades are so underpowered

No, but many that pick a nightblade and complain because they can't deal with this class are underpowered ...

Nice skill usage.
Btw invisibility no longer an option. I really don't understand why zenimax changed it, but... if you are the only aggroer, and constantly gon invisible (but non perma-invis) - mobs will reset.
I do hope that was done by mistake and will be fixed soon.

P.S. also, because of same(?) bug, stealth opener often do 0 damage -_-

This 'game' should be re-marketed (after recalling and completing proper beta-testing) as a Strategy MMO (new genre). All single-player-ONLY battles inside or outside the main story line should be eliminated so that casual gamers can continue the story and adventure with help that they very well may need.

Characters need re-balancing so the Sorcerer in light armor with staves isn't overpowering over every other class and monster any more then a Nightblade with medium armor and sword & shield.

Many have 'simplistically' said a new gamer should develop and play a character they would have fun playing. Well, that means that any class, gaming style, or weapon type shouldn't have any advantage over any other class, gaming style, or weapon type. If it does (and they do) then you may end up now in just about every single-player-boss battle like my Nightblade with sword & board severely disadvantaged, dying, and clueless what to do about the difficulty and refusing to wear or use items inappropriate to her character. In other dungeons and the open PvE world there is plenty of help available grouping or joining in each other's battles on-the-fly!

I am very hard pressed to understand why I don't want to drop ESO like a hot potato and demand a full refund because I don't think Zenimax is going to straighten this game out favoring hardcore strategy.

I've played one other MMO, Guild Wars 2, successfully and solo. The huge differences were there was no complexity in my character development there and by all means there were no situations forcing me to go 1-on-1 eight or so different times with bosses in the main story line. In fact, there were no single player instances in the entire PvE portion of the game.

The game needs balancing no argument. You lost me however with "every single-player-boss battle like my Nightblade with sword & board severely disadvantaged, dying, and clueless what to do" since I play a S&B NB tank I have had very little issue with solo content to V9 (I won't count from 9-10 since I got that in Crag) the only real time I had a lot of issue was when switching over and working on a DPS build because I had spent so long getting tank build down perfectly where I want it.

I have a video on my youtube channel of me soloing an Anchor, I was low 30s Anchor was upper-mid (36-37 or so). I wasn't able to do so because skills were 'OP' it was possible because I block when I need to, dodge when I need to, use terrain to break LoS, use pots, pick which target to focus on and above all have the player skill to pull it off. Same is true of + and ++ content.


Yes classes need to be balanced which is why I love the NB, it takes actual player skill more than DK or Sorc. In general I know there are very good DK and Sorc out there. For every good DK or Sorc there are 5+ bad ones, where for every 10 NBs there is 1 good one.

I gave the build a try, but i could not kill dark mane in vr6 zone. I did not have the same self healing morph, used power extraction instead. Unfortunatley i could not switch weapons fast enough to pull this off. Also the self healing debuff takes forever to cast. Granted is that my inner light only has 10 percent crit chance, because i still need xp for it. Max magica was at the softcap. Could some other player pull this off? And post a vid.

awesome, once again being forced to play how the developers want us to, NOT want we the players want GJ.

Any class that use the 5th skill in Restoration staff.. Siphon (somthing). can solo bosses. Its very powerfull skill as you get allot of HP back each time you hit a mob with that on. Put that on two, three mobs and you are invincible.

PS: Quick Siphon for instant cast or Siphon spirit for healing magica too

Nope, using shadow refreshing path and mage guild degeneration in part 2 and it actually could work without a heal staff as well cause that hot is not really pulling it.

It's sad to see nearly everyone being funneled into a "mage"-type character, regardless of class. But as long as there are no class-based gear restrictions or bonuses, this will always be the case even if it is mostly perception, some particular gear combination will be deemed the "best" and everyone will gravitate to it. If they nerf LA/staff, we'll see everyone respec to heavy/whatever. "Play how you want" is obviously a failed experiment.

Well in this specific case you don't need light armor and at least your weapons don't have to be staffs as well.

Video part 2 shows you that Mutagen alone is not really pulling it off.

The trick is stacking passive hots (sap will, refreshing path , hot potion and degeneration) while you focus on fight while dots out = hots in.
It works great because of strong ultimates with damage reduction and re using quickly.

However, prodigy is not really required because of inner light.
Recovery and spell cost can be adjusted with equipment at least you can still
succeed with magicka spells on long solo fights.

Finally you can wear a couple pieces of heavy armor that gives you more armor
and rapid mending is a nice bonus when playing strong heal overtime builds especially this one with 4 different sources.

But to be honest in some situations it still makes sense to use a heal/buff backup on the second bar. Especially if you solo stuff, because the self support does not fall from skies you know ... Imho the expectation of some players to beat any tough content just with melee weapons is a bit far from any kind of "game reality". You can still use it for trash and "normal" challenges. Nothing wrong with that.

Wow what a surprise, the solution is to use light armor and a staff. I never would've guessed...
