Just a suggestions for builds, if possible obviously because making a guide takes time + editing, I'm interested in detailed rotations...because I'm new and DDD (dumb damage dealer :) ).
@@dBm_drillingbits Good luck trying to do any kind of regular rotation if you're soloing a dungeon. I would just advise you to spam aoe on mobs, and make sure you keep your dots up on the bosses. Plus, I mean, a specific rotation is going to depend on your class, and a video like this is obviously meant to be more general.
@@supertrexandroidx yep right. I only managed solo fungal 1 :)) the rotation is not really for solo to be honest, it is just to understand how some builds mange to do constant >50k and peak 100k. Me as noob I’m happy to get out alive and I’m uber happy when I mange 50k dps. 🥸
Tri-stat potions 10:54 "expensive".... let me share a little secret that many are not aware of. You can craft your own Tri-stat potion that is identical to the purple crown store one by combining Bugloss, Columbine, and Mountain Flower and you can do so for free. Those herbs are free for the taking out in the world. Give it a shot and thank me later ;) Great video, Hack, much love and keep up the good work and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
My setup: -Strong passive self heals (usually pale order or crit surge) -Shields (brawler or Harness magicka) -Strong sustain (heavy attack build or false god/vicious serpent) -a source of major resolve, brutality/sorcery, savagery/prophecy & Breach -a 3-4 skill rotation i go usually go 3 dots and a spammable
You know back when I was still very new to CP and still didn’t know how to dungeon delve solo, I had a very weak build and my antisocial mindset made it so I refused to ask for help. With the dungeon AND with my build. So I had no idea how to get better and just threw myself into a dungeon that dropped a free pet. I can’t quite recall which one it was, I think it was Rimmen Necropolis, but my weak ass spent literally hours a day for three days or so learning how to dodge the specific boss moves perfectly so I took absolutely minimal damage. I handled it like it was Dark Souls and I ended up soloing the dungeon way weaker than I should’ve. All because I handled it like Dark Souls and not like an mmo. So my advice for soloing is RESILIENCE, I proved you don’t have to be strong to get sh!t done. Now that my builds updated and better it’s obviously easier but there was a huge sense of pride in beating group bosses solo as a weakling
This is what I needed right here. Thank you, I love elder scrolls lore and actually enjoyed the game. What I despised was the group mechanics in dungeons. I’ll never forget getting laughed at because a sorcerer came in and said he was the tank. This was years ago. Anyway I said don’t we need a tank? The reply was this game is better because it destroys the whole trinity outlook on mmos. I played eq and eq 2 for many years. I knew this was going to be interesting. Needless to say we didn’t make it far. I know anybody can tank. That doesn’t mean you should though and the reason I was done after a month. My wife took over my final fantasy 14 account as well as my free company so I need something fresh. If I can just solo everything and not deal with stupidity I’m in. I’ll try to group if I can but my mindset after reading your comment has encouraged me. Do you solo dungeons all the time?
I remember doing the same exact thing as a level 20 something necromancer soloing necropolis. I spent like an hour and a half straight fighting that crow boss while using his minions as fodder for my scythe. The bone goliath skill and ult generating corpse skill saved my ass so many times during that fight!
The easiest thing for me during this Undaunted Event. I pick the easier dungeons (ex..Fungal Grotto) and I just stage 4 vamp stealth run through the dungeon. I will stop at chests and bosses that I cannot skip until I reach the final boss. Kill boss and get the Undaunted Rewards. This is on a pretty standard magplar build, wearing purple gear.
you don't don't need to if your just going for the event, which is just the final boss kill. I've been doing fungal grotto on my stam sorc solo, just skip everything and pop a few vigors. take the main boss out in like 45 seconds ish
One note about companions, I'd like to add is that they can cause problems in boss fights. For example. in Arx Corinium the first boss is a giant snake with a bunch of Lamias. The other night I go in there and go after the lamias first. The companion shoots at the snake causing the snake to go after the companion. The companion retreats back down the hallway and the snake follows. So far in fact the entire encounter resets, just as I had wasted the last of the lamias.
I have done random dungeons, where the healer leaves, and my companion Mirri (who is set up as a healing) replaces the missing healer and does almost as good a job as the average healer. (That is no to say, a healer who is actually good is definitely better). So for solo content Miri as healer does a great job.
Great video! Really appreciate that you take the time to explain *why* some things are good or useful. I've heard the recommendations for some of these things before, but rarely feel like I know what I'm doing or what the skills/buffs/enchantments are actually for. Thank you!
Some years ago, I took my healer into Wayrest Sewers 1 for the hell of it. Solo'd pretty nicely. I've recently gotten back into the game, and my healer's equipment has since seen some improvements, between deciding on a second set and upgrading my gear. I'll definitely be looking into soloing more dungeons. Eyeing up Hexos' Ward too, but not sure if I want to trade Mother's Sorrow or SPC for it (because healer; Templar for those sweet class heals). Also contemplating solo stuff with my Nightblade. This vid should help me figure things out for future solo runs! ^^
Great Video, love that the armory lets us goof around with more set-ups. My next crazy hybrid idea is a solo build that tries to stay just under 50% health to auto crit on Arterial Burst. I just don't know whether Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare is going to end up being better: Bar 1 - Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare, Bone Wall or Empowered Ward, Crystal Weapon, Arterial Burst, Elemental Drain. Bar 2- Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare, Resolving Vigor, Stampede, Hurricane, Simmering Frenzy (Spell Symmetry when accessed). I am prefering crystal weapon on front bar for slightly smaller heal. I hadn't thought about the shield weapon enchant. Have just been using improve armor and spell resistant pots with no regeneration. Stage 3 or 4 vampire, fire resist jewelry, bunch of tri-stat glyphs, 40kish health, witchmother's potent brew, mundus gear and crit damage mundus stone. Gear: Shadowrend (1 light, 1 heavy), Rattlecage (Jewelry & Weapons), Spriggans Thorns (5 medium)
Mechanics! Mechanics! Mechanics! LEARN THEM!!! Soloing dungeons has been my favorite past time in ESO since the game started. But it seems like it was harder back then than it is now. Don't know if that's due to my own skills or the constant tweeking the game does. Other than knowing mechanics, relax, be patient and enjoy. 😁👍 I love this video. Thank you for sharing.
Its amazing how shields and HOTs can sustain you, if even subtly. I mainly solo, so I always enjoy solo content type videos. I'm also looking out for any updates for the Catalyst build (just went to the website, haha, still on Markarth DLC). I know there are ALOT more options now with hybridization going on (🎉), so I understand it might take awhile to update all your hybrid builds. Thanks for another great video! P.S. Like Joseph Kemper said, I'll be rewatching for sure!
Using spirit healer and ring of the pale order is great on my necro for any solo stuff, extremely good healing with aoe attacks on large mobs. I often wear ring of the pale order when I get a not so great healer in random queue ups also. Leaching armour added to that is even more survivable with large mobs.
I've done a few solo runs of Fungal Grotto 1 with just a level 21 character with a (mostly off-the-shelf) companion. It takes a bit longer (about 25-30 minutes), and you should be sure to have some area healing (so you heal both you and the companion, otherwise they will just die too often), but it's more or less easily doable. With bosses, I'm normally able to keep the companion alive until the boss is down to about 45% or so, then I have to finish them off alone. Make sure to not draw too many "extras" when going into a new cave - start with the closest ones, the others often wait a bit until they join in the fun, so make sure to kill the first ones off fast. Be prepared to die from time to time nevertheless, especially, if you've not mastered a good rotation yet and get into a crowd fight. I've soloed FG1 with chars in the 20s level range as well even before companions, but it takes another 5-10 minutes more in that case (and you'll die more often, too).
PS: the lowest level character I used for soloing FG1 (with a companion, though) was just level 13 (nope, no second bar yet...). Took ages, but I actually didn't die too often, either! :-O
Recently made a house with all basic crafting stations, Bank/merchant vendor for quick and easy deconstruct and vendor items so you can back to farming dungeon's.
Thank you soo much, I have been playing ESO since day 1 - always just solo, and dungeons just kill me or takes a week of trying. This will give some hope!
Just as a side note, red is the hardest color for your graphics card and tv to render. Before I found out about the custom colors I had endless crashing problems when I got into heavy AOE situations.
I've been doing solo Grotto 1's in about 90 seconds per run at on Stamsorc for boxes. So much faster than waiting for queues and not much slower than being in a group. As far as companions and healing goes, unless you are running a taunt, your healer is going to pull so much aggro that they really don't get much of a chance to actually heal you. So either run a taunt or grab Mirri for the best "cheap" dps, or Bastion for the best "cheap" tank. Bastion ends up being the best at literally every role once you get enough companion gear, and by enough, I mean ~15 million worth of gear, so don't stress over that xD
Practice really helps. When I started going to dungeons with my husband we died a lot. Now when I start a new character when I hit level 10 I join the undaunted and solo my first dungeon, even with horrible white gear, some level 2 even, and no champion points I can make it through now. Experience makes a huge difference, you just need to get out there and do it.
I think it would have been worth mentionning about companions that dungeons happen to be nice sources of companion gear drops when ran with a companion. I've got most of my good pieces from doing those.
It might sound silly but a big thing that helped me with my rotation was making my AOE attacks one click instead of two (display the ground circle and second click to activate)…game changer for me
Hello, Hack. I see that you didn't show how to solo dungeons with team based mechanics. Crypt of heart 2, wayrest sewers 2, etc. If you want, I'll be happy to show you, for a future video (I'm on ps4, btw). I'm doing it for the challenge. So far, manage to solo everysingle non-dlc dungeon. I also soloed white gold tower, and ruins of mazzatun (I haven't tried every dlc dungeons).
This was really helpful as I just got ring of the pale order and have been trying to figure out how to solo Skyreach for cp. One thing though, is there any kind of damage that bypasses shields? Or does it always hit shields before health?
I've been using hexo, ice heart, overwhelming surge and just marching through stuff (credit to Dooma for the build) but it's been a game changer for my magplar soloing and having good sustain
Can’t stress enough the idea of getting shields, heals and potions up before you take damage. Potions are less about the immediate flat stats they give and much more about being consumable buffs. You want to go into a fight with an extra 30% regen, not wait until your resources run out. Even if you’re just using the trash potions you pick up, you don’t want these buffs to run out.
Also anything with a stun or knockback will usually interrupt enemy channels as well. Edit: obviously this is something most people probably know, but this video doesn't seem to be for most people. Hack mentioned interrupts, but not that sometimes it says "knockback" or "stun" or "off balance" in the actual skill description. I left the word "usually" because I've had times where these times of skills just didn't work. Could just be a glitch or a network thing. That said it's important to remember that you can't spam these skills because the enemy gets a period immunity just after. It's not a long time, but it can feel like a long time in the heat of battle. If you tank, then you are probably used to things feeling like it takes forever, though.
With the CP change, and the 1,000 weapon spell damage added to players on a level 50 above toon definetly did make soloing dungeons in blue quality gear a thing.
For me it seems if my weapons are golded out and my jewelry is blue or purple after I equip my weapons my stats equal the lower value that the jewelry has. Is this not the way it works?
Ok so question, i have set my group finder on veteran dungeons because this is what every is saying how to get into a vet dungeon. But whenever i enter one, it always says normal. No matter what i do, i can't enter a dungeon solo on vet. Pls assist on how to get into vet solo
Okay, NOT SOLO if you have a companion, (3:15 into video) I’ve solo completed Vet Hardmode in all the dungeons that it’s possible to do so, on my Templar healer, in my full healer build. Companion = Not having to tank = not solo
I have a tip. MAKE SURE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SOLO IT. THERE ARE SOME DUNGEONS THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE PERSON. I MADE IT TO THE LAST BOSS TO FIND OUT THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER PERSON TO HIT A 2ND SWITCH AT THE SAME TIME. STAY AWAY FROM DLC DUNGEONS. THEY ARE BUILT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
I dont even know how to upgrade weapons or what a buff is. Im starting to think this game might be a bit too much for me 😂 i wanna build a good character, but my god what a headache
You’re telling people to gold out their weapon without explaining that it’s a waste unless they have a decent build. Normal dungeon are nothing bro. There’s really no point to waste the 10 minutes it takes. Try soloing vet dungeons. Or vet maelstrom. Maybe one day you’ll be able to rock the Flawless Conquerer title. ;)
I accidently bought a dlc not realizing its group dungeon. Now I'm here cause 20 bucks down the drain and I cannot melee solo the dungeons. Sigh. Lesson learned.
@@aeronmb I’m sure for role playing but the fact that you can do content like this by yourself means that the tank, healer, dps rolls need to be looked at or dropped completely
@@geraldclark9280 this content is easy, that’s why. there’s literally vet and dlc dungeons that you’ll defiantly need tanks and healers for unless your one of them nutters that’s solod vScp on hm
@@geraldclark9280 you can only solo base game vet dungeons and normal mode dlc dungeons. You still need a normal tank/healer setup for trials or hardmode dlc vet dungeons. Some dlc vet dungeons can be done with a tank/healer hybrid and 3 dps, but it takes experience.
That’s why I quit years ago. I’m coming back but taking a completely different approach. I raided for years on eq1 and 2 then over to final fantasy 14 which my account got taken over by my wife who now runs a guild. I’m not a fan of ff14 end game but that game does grouping right in my opinion. When games started making the whole every class can fill any roll is when I knew mmos were doomed. There is a reason why ff14 is the number one mmo right now. I love the elder scrolls lore though. It’s what’s bringing me back now but I will never forget my first year with this game and doing group dungeons which I normally love (I’m a loot whore). When I asked who was the tank and was told any class can tank. That’s when I knew to keep my mouth shut because mmos were evolving away from the holy trinity of tank healer dps. I will probably never group in this game or look for a guild and I know I’m gonna get tore up for saying this but pvp in a fantasy mmo just doesn’t fit in my opinion. Leave that to Fortnite or cod. So I definitely won’t pvp, I hated it in ultima online and really to me only one game did it right and that was dark age of Camelot. Pantheon rise of the fallen will be the old new that us older asses will gravitate to I’m sure. If it ever comes out. Buy yeah, I know this is a quality game and can be enjoyed. Just don’t go in thinking this is ff14. I don’t and will not play wow so won’t use it as an example. Once again I know I’ll get tore up for saying this but wow brought a specific group of people to the genre who bitched until they devs gave in and simplified a genre that wasn’t meant to be simplified. Which is why mmo games are in the state they are in. Mostly garbage
Solo'ing group content defeats the purpose of group content. Sure, you can brag you did it alone, but what's the use? Its not like solo'ing group content translates into real life skills, and you did it ALONE, robbing yourself of a fun group experience. I'm able to solo dungeons too with my build and my companions, but I choose not to. I'd rather be playing with other people. In the end, solo'ing is a hollow experience, because you did it alone, while doing them in groups helps you build relationships in the game so you can go onto vet content with them, like I've done. And I'm speaking from long experience here, 20 years playing MMOs, and 5 years in ESO. Encouraging others to be independent and do everything alone is the same thing as telling people they don't need any friends, and can live all alone without any human contact. Its an MMO. It has group content. This game is meant to be shared with others. While I understand being powerful enough to solo group content is "cool" and all that, it requires you to be a loner. Just my two cents.
ESO community has to be the most brain dead gamers ive ever seen, and ive played BF2042. I just started playing like 4 months ago, and my first week i realized tanks and healers are pointless in dungeons outside of vetDLC. Just have a dude with a taunt, and a couple sanguine altars... i think the issue is many MMO players play these games like candy crush... just somrthing to chill and see pretty colors. Meaning no one wants to actively have to pay attention and.... *actually play the game*. For bosses literally all you have to do is make sure you have enough stam to dodge the heavy attacks. Ive been fake tanking since like level 20... i decided i was going to go real tank when the dungeons got harder, but they never really did... people sit in que as DPS for HOURS.... FOR NO REASON. Queing as tank you get insta que... Really wish this game wasnt so easy, the gameplay is great.
Listen to this man. I’ve learned everything the hard way and it was pretty frustrating. Specially the sustain part. Never think only about DPS when going solo. NEVER. EDIT: the damage shields part is deffo the most important one.
Do you have any tips for Soloing Dungeons in ESO? Also, make sure to check out the builds shown off in this video in the description!
Wouldn't Wrecking Blow be better for more damage? I usually don't need the recovery when I use parse food like lava foot soup.
Just a suggestions for builds, if possible obviously because making a guide takes time + editing, I'm interested in detailed rotations...because I'm new and DDD (dumb damage dealer :) ).

you don't don't need to if your just going for the event, which is just the final boss kill. I've been doing fungal grotto on my stam sorc solo, just skip everything and pop a few vigors. take the main boss out in like 45 seconds ish
One note about companions, I'd like to add is that they can cause problems in boss fights. For example. in Arx Corinium the first boss is a giant snake with a bunch of Lamias.

The companion retreats back down the hallway and the snake follows. So far in fact the entire encounter resets, just as I had wasted the last of the lamias.
Precognition (the other morph of the Psijic ultimate) can be used whiled CC’d to avoid one shot mechanics in a lot of dungeons.
I have done random dungeons, where the healer leaves, and my companion Mirri (who is set up as a healing) replaces the missing healer and does almost as good a job as the average healer. (That is no to say, a healer who is actually good is definitely better). So for solo content Miri as healer does a great job.
Only problem with Mirri as a healer is she tends to aggro bosses and you have to pull them off of her or she will die.

Great Video, love that the armory lets us goof around with more set-ups. My next crazy hybrid idea is a solo build that tries to stay just under 50% health to auto crit on Arterial Burst. I just don't know whether Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare is going to end up being better: Bar 1
- Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare, Bone Wall or Empowered Ward, Crystal Weapon, Arterial Burst, Elemental Drain. Bar 2- Bound Aegis or Revealing Flare, Resolving Vigor, Stampede, Hurricane, Simmering Frenzy (Spell Symmetry when accessed). I am prefering crystal weapon on front bar for slightly smaller heal. I hadn't thought about the shield weapon enchant. Have just been using improve armor and spell resistant pots with no regeneration. Stage 3 or 4 vampire, fire resist jewelry, bunch of tri-stat glyphs, 40kish health, witchmother's potent brew, mundus gear and crit damage mundus stone. Gear: Shadowrend (1 light, 1 heavy), Rattlecage (Jewelry & Weapons), Spriggans Thorns (5 medium)

Using spirit healer and ring of the pale order is great on my necro for any solo stuff, extremely good healing with aoe attacks on large mobs. I often wear ring of the pale order when I get a not so great healer in random queue ups also. Leaching armour added to that is even more survivable with large mobs.
Bastion in the Red Tree is fantastic for boosting those damage shields.
I've done a few solo runs of Fungal Grotto 1 with just a level 21 character with a (mostly off-the-shelf) companion. It takes a bit longer (about 25-30 minutes), and you should be sure to have some area healing (so you heal both you and the companion, otherwise they will just die too often), but it's more or less easily doable.

For sustain try to use poisons. I use cowardice and drain health both in its 3 stats version. They return a lots of resources when procs.
I can’t wait to come back this all has me so excited and ready to continue my adventure 😌🙏🏽💪🏽🔥
I will give the same advice I give when I lead a trial. Kill stuff don't die.

Use oakensoul, the cp that gives healing for direct damage, and bring the largest class skill heal and make sure you put it in your rotation
Coming back after a long hiatus. Good to see you, hack! Loved the vid. Trying to get my solo on. I have no friends that want to play eso😅😓
Just be prepared for anything and everything and you're good to go..... that's the best advice for everything lol
That no class skill build looks like a damned beast!
Outstanding video as always. !!!!
Hello, Hack. I see that you didn't show how to solo dungeons with team based mechanics. Crypt of heart 2, wayrest sewers 2, etc. If you want, I'll be happy to show you, for a future video (I'm on ps4, btw). I'm doing it for the challenge. So far, manage to solo everysingle non-dlc dungeon. I also soloed white gold tower, and ruins of mazzatun (I haven't tried every dlc dungeons).
Coming back to eso, great vid
Wow...I need to watch more of these. Love solo play
This was really helpful as I just got ring of the pale order and have been trying to figure out how to solo Skyreach for cp. One thing though, is there any kind of damage that bypasses shields? Or does it always hit shields before health?
I've been using hexo, ice heart, overwhelming surge and just marching through stuff (credit to Dooma for the build) but it's been a game changer for my magplar soloing and having good sustain
Can’t stress enough the idea of getting shields, heals and potions up before you take damage. Potions are less about the immediate flat stats they give and much more about being consumable buffs. You want to go into a fight with an extra 30% regen, not wait until your resources run out. Even if you’re just using the trash potions you pick up, you don’t want these buffs to run out.
Thanks for making this.
Sweet video, thanks!
Also anything with a stun or knockback will usually interrupt enemy channels as well.
Edit: obviously this is something most people probably know, but this video doesn't seem to be for most people. Hack mentioned interrupts, but not that sometimes it says "knockback" or "stun" or "off balance" in the actual skill description.
I left the word "usually" because I've had times where these times of skills just didn't work. Could just be a glitch or a network thing. That said it's important to remember that you can't spam these skills because the enemy gets a period immunity just after. It's not a long time, but it can feel like a long time in the heat of battle. If you tank, then you are probably used to things feeling like it takes forever, though.
This was good. Thx!
With the CP change, and the 1,000 weapon spell damage added to players on a level 50 above toon definetly did make soloing dungeons in blue quality gear a thing.
if your companion dies, can you - after combat ends - dismiss and recall to save a soul stone?
If having the oakensoul ring on build, do I need to worry about the extra buffs? The buffs don’t stack right?
Luckily I have soooooooo many tri stat potions because I get them a lot at log in and rarely use potions unless I’m in a dungeon
On vet some of the dungeons U need 2 ppl. To make hm. Solo vet ist easy but not all dlc dungeons. Hm with 2 ppl is cool
For me it seems if my weapons are golded out and my jewelry is blue or purple after I equip my weapons my stats equal the lower value that the jewelry has. Is this not the way it works?
Is it better to play eso on a controller or keyboard??
How can I reset dungeon after I soloed it? Just complete another dungeon?
I never knew how to que in solo until now
Ok so question, i have set my group finder on veteran dungeons because this is what every is saying how to get into a vet dungeon. But whenever i enter one, it always says normal. No matter what i do, i can't enter a dungeon solo on vet. Pls assist on how to get into vet solo
Please tell me you are actually on PC - otherwise I would be frustrated bcs your game looks much better than on PS4!
It’s recorded on PC yes
@@HackTheMinotaur glad to hear thanks!
That is the dungeon I soloed for the Frozen watcher set. It is hard but doable. Is it Depths of malator?
Okay, NOT SOLO if you have a companion, (3:15 into video) I’ve solo completed Vet Hardmode in all the dungeons that it’s possible to do so, on my Templar healer, in my full healer build. Companion = Not having to tank = not solo
Is there a way to solo vet fang lair
I have a tip. MAKE SURE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SOLO IT. THERE ARE SOME DUNGEONS THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE PERSON. I MADE IT TO THE LAST BOSS TO FIND OUT THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER PERSON TO HIT A 2ND SWITCH AT THE SAME TIME.
STAY AWAY FROM DLC DUNGEONS. THEY ARE BUILT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
Do you have a Discord I can join focused on ESO?
Not yet though we might start one soon
@@HackTheMinotaur I hope so. I am trying to find a good ESO community and a Hack Discord and Guild in game would be perfect
nothing on here about reseting dungeons seems like that would be one of the top 3 things!
Bugloss columbine and mountain flower makes a tri stat potion for free
38K magiika how the heck? You max out at 21K.
I am guessing that you first need to grind for about 6 years in order to become powerful enough to be able to solo dungeons?
Nope. Just make sure your build is designed for solo.
LOL I have a hard time in groups, I could never solo
I dont even know how to upgrade weapons or what a buff is. Im starting to think this game might be a bit too much for me 😂 i wanna build a good character, but my god what a headache
You’re telling people to gold out their weapon without explaining that it’s a waste unless they have a decent build. Normal dungeon are nothing bro. There’s really no point to waste the 10 minutes it takes. Try soloing vet dungeons. Or vet maelstrom. Maybe one day you’ll be able to rock the Flawless Conquerer title. ;)
Talking about maintaining major brutality while momentum isn't active for the whole fight XD
Step 1: be templar
Step 2: ???
Step 3: solo dungeons
Some dungeon have multi player mechanics. You can't do it solo even extreme strong you are.
I accidently bought a dlc not realizing its group dungeon. Now I'm here cause 20 bucks down the drain and I cannot melee solo the dungeons. Sigh. Lesson learned.
The most important tip, use the most op build, the rest you solve.
Whats the point of healer and tank rolls even being in this game
Build versatility. Group play (required for some content). Role play. Etcetera.
@@aeronmb I’m sure for role playing but the fact that you can do content like this by yourself means that the tank, healer, dps rolls need to be looked at or dropped completely
@@geraldclark9280 this content is easy, that’s why. there’s literally vet and dlc dungeons that you’ll defiantly need tanks and healers for unless your one of them nutters that’s solod vScp on hm
@@geraldclark9280 you can only solo base game vet dungeons and normal mode dlc dungeons. You still need a normal tank/healer setup for trials or hardmode dlc vet dungeons. Some dlc vet dungeons can be done with a tank/healer hybrid and 3 dps, but it takes experience.
That’s why I quit years ago. I’m coming back but taking a completely different approach. I raided for years on eq1 and 2 then over to final fantasy 14 which my account got taken over by my wife who now runs a guild. I’m not a fan of ff14 end game but that game does grouping right in my opinion. When games started making the whole every class can fill any roll is when I knew mmos were doomed. There is a reason why ff14 is the number one mmo right now. I love the elder scrolls lore though. It’s what’s bringing me back now but I will never forget my first year with this game and doing group dungeons which I normally love (I’m a loot whore). When I asked who was the tank and was told any class can tank. That’s when I knew to keep my mouth shut because mmos were evolving away from the holy trinity of tank healer dps. I will probably never group in this game or look for a guild and I know I’m gonna get tore up for saying this but pvp in a fantasy mmo just doesn’t fit in my opinion. Leave that to Fortnite or cod. So I definitely won’t pvp, I hated it in ultima online and really to me only one game did it right and that was dark age of Camelot. Pantheon rise of the fallen will be the old new that us older asses will gravitate to I’m sure. If it ever comes out. Buy yeah, I know this is a quality game and can be enjoyed. Just don’t go in thinking this is ff14. I don’t and will not play wow so won’t use it as an example. Once again I know I’ll get tore up for saying this but wow brought a specific group of people to the genre who bitched until they devs gave in and simplified a genre that wasn’t meant to be simplified. Which is why mmo games are in the state they are in. Mostly garbage
Frankly, soloing normal dungeons in this game is a huge NO in my book. Simply because the bosses takes forever to kill, not because of difficulty.
Maybe sometimes you have to accept its not a solo rpg but a mmo and its okay to play with other players...
Solo'ing group content defeats the purpose of group content. Sure, you can brag you did it alone, but what's the use? Its not like solo'ing group content translates into real life skills, and you did it ALONE, robbing yourself of a fun group experience. I'm able to solo dungeons too with my build and my companions, but I choose not to. I'd rather be playing with other people. In the end, solo'ing is a hollow experience, because you did it alone, while doing them in groups helps you build relationships in the game so you can go onto vet content with them, like I've done. And I'm speaking from long experience here, 20 years playing MMOs, and 5 years in ESO. Encouraging others to be independent and do everything alone is the same thing as telling people they don't need any friends, and can live all alone without any human contact. Its an MMO. It has group content. This game is meant to be shared with others. While I understand being powerful enough to solo group content is "cool" and all that, it requires you to be a loner. Just my two cents.
@@inckblot2 more words: wife aggro
first i guess second if your comment counts
this aint hypixel
Don't use the ring!!!
ESO community has to be the most brain dead gamers ive ever seen, and ive played BF2042. I just started playing like 4 months ago, and my first week i realized tanks and healers are pointless in dungeons outside of vetDLC. Just have a dude with a taunt, and a couple sanguine altars... i think the issue is many MMO players play these games like candy crush... just somrthing to chill and see pretty colors. Meaning no one wants to actively have to pay attention and.... *actually play the game*. For bosses literally all you have to do is make sure you have enough stam to dodge the heavy attacks. Ive been fake tanking since like level 20... i decided i was going to go real tank when the dungeons got harder, but they never really did... people sit in que as DPS for HOURS.... FOR NO REASON. Queing as tank you get insta que...
Really wish this game wasnt so easy, the gameplay is great.
Listen to this man.
I’ve learned everything the hard way and it was pretty frustrating.
Specially the sustain part. Never think only about DPS when going solo. NEVER.
EDIT: the damage shields part is deffo the most important one.
