Some classes/builds have a better time of it. Like, I'm biased, but, say, Magplar's main spam is a conical attack that hits many things and heals you for a % of damage done. You basically fly in there and unleash hell and never die.

Bryaugh posted:So I've hit 50 and I'm now in the infinite grind for more numbers and I was curious, are there any classes that are really good at farming group content like catacombs or public dungons? Or is it mostly just a matter of having tons of CP? magplar was already mentioned, I'm biased as well and like my stamsorc, I can solo normal dungeons, haven't tried the DLC dungeons on normal but I don't think I could do those, and 98% of overworld content (Can't do DLC group bosses), and you can do this with crafted gear (NMG/hundings) but if you can get dropped gear and monster sets it's even easier.

Counterpoint: Stamsorc has both VO and Vengeance Leech (the poor man's/non-trial sperg VO). Turns them into machines literally fueled by blood/death/gore.

Anything that heals you when you hit things, most notably magplar and stam sorc as have been most noted. I had a good aoe self heal MagDK for while though. Also, I like lizards best for those solo self heal builds. Changed my MagDK to dunmer since I had never picked race for min/max and really regret it. Likely to change him back at some point. Stamsorcs crit heal is now a fixed value, but works. Magplar and MagDK have the advantage that CP into damage is CP into self heal, since the heal is a percent of the damage. The challenge, for me at least, is running the necessary self buff rotation while also keeping up the self heal attack. If I miss a round when soloing a dungeon it means death. I have a leveled magNB, but have not geared him or run him so don't know what the solo build would be like.

I've only had one character, a stamblade I've been solo'ing with and basically playing this like it's any other ES game. I just went ahead and made an lizard magplar that I want to build up as a healer for playing PVP/with Goons/group dungeons and what not. I like healing and being support in co-op scenarios. If anyone feels like dragging a low-level healer/fire-caster around to help level up faster, hit me up. I'm usually around in the evenings (I'm already in the Chill Bros guild, @luchadork).

I played this game at launch, but got new gf right after and was more interested in other things so stopped. Is this game good now? E: To be clear, good compared to skyrim, which I am playing through in a new way(rogue assassin for once!) since I just noticed I got the special edition for free.

You can even play through most of the game like it's a single player game, the only things that could give you trouble would be overworld group bosses and group dungeons/trials. I highly recommend whether you want an MMO or not.

I've been playing skyrim in pure thief/ assassin mode lately and being able to do it in eso is a nice change from most mmos. But having to run from the cops every time i check my quest journal is annoying.

Talkc posted:Where do i go to find info on building characters? I want to build a Stamsorc but have no idea what to do, and the only thing ive heard on builds is dont use Deltia. Scy has good info on stamsorcs, I also run one, I don't push as much dps as scy but I'm in the 22-23k range and have almost beat vMA. Basically, for PvE the meta is DW/Bow. End goal is DW Bar: rapid strikes (morph of flurry), blood craze (twin slashes morph), rearming trap (trap beast morph), camo hunter (expert hunter morph), and bound armaments (bound armor morph) ult: rend Bow bar: poison injection (poison arrow morph), endless hail (volley morph), hurricane (lightning form morph), crit surge (surge morph), bound armaments (bound armor morph) ult: flawless dawnbreaker You want gear that pushes your crit up, NMG/Hundings is good to start with, currenty I run NMG/red mountain, current monster set meta is scrimshaw which sadly I don't have a decent pairing of yet, I'm somewhere around 72% crit when self-buffed and that will go up slightly once I swap around gear. Rotation will be something like: Crit Surge, Hurricane, poison injection, endless hail, swap, trap, craze, rapid, rapid, rapid, swap, poison, endless, hurricane etc etc Rotation isn't be completely optimal (I don't think) I haven't taken the time to gently caress around with it (or ask scy) but I think I could probably push 24-25k dps if I got it a little tighter CP (this is what I currently run/plan on running when I get 600cp): Green: Warlord 100, mooncalf 100 Red: Elemental defender 100, Hardy 100 (I typically keep these fairly even) Blue: Mighty 100, Piercing 30, thaum 50, precise 20(piercing/thaum though I'm not sure of a good spread and precise might be sub-optimal) Basically you get healing from multiple sources, while crit surge is up (it should always be up) you heal for every crit, which is often, blood craze heals you, and rend heals you. Rend is really good to use on packs since it hits a shitload of enemies for a lot of damage (subsequently a lot of healing for you), but obviously use it when you can anyway. If someone is already running NMG in your group/raid, you can swap to leviathan (slightly less dps, but pure crit), hundings, or draugur set, really it depends on what is going on, if you're not going to take any damage I'd think about draugur, but I don't have a set of it made so I'm not sure how it stacks up, I usually make the other DPS swap or I just throw on my leviathan set. I do not PvP with my stamsorc so you'll have to ask elsewhere for that, but supression field is stupid good from what I hear, so building gear with ultimate generation bonus and survivability in mind might be the route to go.

Not at home (for the last month or so), but I think I now run Flying Daggers or Hidden Blade on the DW bar instead of Armanents for the Brutality buff and maybe Streak on the back bar? I sometimes run a Werewolf Ult just for regen on the bow bar or Overload for an extra utility bar. Dawnbreaker on the DW bar to stack weapon dmg. Maybe I will try Armaments again when I get back home (at the end of the month). I think though that armaments runs better with a 2H build for the heavy attacks and the passives in that line.

I typically run rend for the heal, but yeah dawnbreaker is interchangeable depending on what you're doing/expecting. I'll give the armaments swap a try and see how that stacks up, though I'll probably try a different skill on the bow bar like curse or something, bolt escape morphs feels like it will lower my dps overall due to the movement and having to reposition. I have also played with the idea of dropping NMG for toothrow's to free up the hunter slot and use deadly cloak. MF_James fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Mar 8, 2017 |

Finally pushed to beat vMA over the past few days and made it through! Ice arena is kind of hard, took me 6-7 tries, mushroom arena is loving awful though, so much crap can one shot and since you can go wayyy back in 3rd person it's hard to tell if poo poo is behind me like shockwave or shrooms. I easily died 50-60 times on this before having the drat stars align and not die to bullshit, bullshit being shockwave mostly because often despite being OUT OF THE WAY it would kill me anyway. Final arena only took me probably 5-6 deaths and I made a bunch of mistakes on the winning run anyway, got knocked off the top once and then let the boss eat the 2 gold ghosts that spawned, but he died quickly enough because I could mostly just lay into him so it never really mattered. Got 1handed mace and shield, not even useful for me at the moment

Cool. What class did you use? I literally quit the game for months after my constant fail vMA. My current build is better and I think I was playing better before this current trip, but I have not yet returned to it. My internet is not better though and that is a bit of a problem. I want some of the weapons, but have yet to gird my loins for another try. I also want the Dragonstar Arena sword to make a build with that and the Knight Errants set... because I like making useless builds more than I like playing the game apparently... Therapy has not helped.

Arena 5 was mostly about wiping ranged guys out quickly then dotting everything I could to keep myself alive, and arena 9 was just circle kite the daedroth flame attack and don't get ownt by ghosts.

My current useless stamsorckat build is a roll build using 5/5 Senche and Way of Air... i think it is 5/5 both bars... can't remember. it's pretty fun. Cant remember what monster set... might be two singles. I think I can tune him so he has a roll bar, where the buffs carry over to the other bar and get a bit more umph from some other gear. He is pretty squishy for solo, but his regen seems fine. I should try armaments on him again like you are running. He's DW/Bow at the moment with everything else basically the same as the build you posted. He has very nice weapon damage after he rolls and I have not really improved his gear yet. Have you tried Leviathan for your crit build? I don't have a full set yet, but pretty easy to get. Solo CoH normal until you have the base stuff you want and then group farm vet a bit. I have also been messing about with a main bar Fighter's Guild intensive build to see how much I can get from the Slayer passive. Think I was doing this on my Stamplar. You really end up with only one non-Fighters Guild attack on that bar. I was actually using Hidden Blade morphs which hit like a truck in that build and is surprisingly spammable. You can use Rally for Brutality though and then use the damage form of Flurry. If you get Brutality from the Hidden Blade morph then back bar can be Bow with Vigor. Even the bouncing knife morph was pretty amazing and fun since the bounces increase the damage. Back bar can be 2H for heals, gap closer, brutality, empower (if using Hidden Blade), etc. which all carry back over to the more or less single attack front bar. I tried the Silver Leash for gap closing, but it seems really buggy and not efficient. I have tried the ring of preservation some, but it seems like it might be the single most costly skill in the game. Close to having Bone Pirate and Draugr Hulk for him. Can't actually remember what armor I am running on him at the moment... might be Spriggans and Hunding or something. It was Fury and Reactive for PvP, but I have been slowly replacing that. None of the gear is yellowed up yet, but his weapon damage was getting to be pretty insane none the less. probably doesn't work in the long run, but I can't help myself.

Okay, so, someone explain PvP for me please. I finally decided to go into Cyrodiil with my magplar and it all seems very confusing. I joined the Azura's Star campaign and did a few quests, but it seems to me like there's actually a lot of single-player content around (delves and stuff), which is cool as I wouldn't mind checking out some Oblivion locations again. I assume though that any non-Ebonheart players I run into can murder me?
