As another newb, I can confirm that the guild is cool and good and full of chill people.

Yeah, definitely a cool bunch; the pubs in this game have to be some of the worst I've seen in a while, I wasn't going to join any of their clans. Goons or bust.

I'll reinstall tomorrow and ask to join on PC because I forgot I owned this game before console launch but I can confirm if PC is anything like console the pubs are garbage. if you're tanking garbage pulls in dungeons there's no reason not to taunt at least the majority of the trash

Yeah. Either tanking is super hard or everyone dicks it up real bad. But I'm sort of just spamming random poo poo as a healer so whatever. I cant figure out what I should be doing skills wise.

Everything i read has people with like rank 50 everything and thats very far off for me.

If you're healer you only really need 3 heals to successfully complete 80% of the content. This is mostly for non Templars since they have a whole tree dedicated to healing. The other classes have some nice healing and shielding skills too, so don't discount them.

Resto staff:

Grand Healing: For a decent immediate heal if people are hurt a bit, but its main usage is as an AOE HOT. Throw it down right before people are going to take damage from a big hit and they'll be out of the danger zone almost immediately. A lot of people love the Healing Springs morph since it returns magicka based on how many folks the heal hits, and running out of magicka as a healer can be a death sentence for the group. I personally like Illustrious Healing because a lot of the time group members aren't tightly grouped during certain fights so Healing Springs won't be a huge factor. I prefer the longer duration. Think of it like a preventative heal. Also very easy to aim.

Blessing of Protection: This is a bigger, more bursty heal for when a guy's in the danger zone and you need to get him out ASAP. It's hampered a bit by the fact that you have to manually aim it, which could make it difficult at times especially if the bow user in your party and rolling arounf behind you somewhere like a wild man. Blessing of Restoration morph has a wider hitbox and heals for more, while Combat Prayer makes your teammates do more damage. Both seem like great options, but I know in certain late game fights where time is a factor the DPS really like that extra damage.

Steadfast Ward: Targets the ally with the lowest health and gives them a nice bubble. The Ward Ally morph gives you a bubble at well. But the other morph, Healing Ward, is where it's at. Bubbles the lowest health guy and restores a nice chunk of HP up front and more later. Perfect for when someone's ready to die and you don't have time to spin around in circles looking for them.

E: Just my opinion and there's a ton of great skills for healing out there that aren't templar or resto staff skills.

Approaching 9 hours now with the downtime essentially costing anyone on the EU server an entire day of playtime. Also, they didn't bother telling anyone about the "extended" bit of it until 7 hours in. In a random thread, somewhere, instead of in a stickied news thread.

I mean, I don't really care because I'm not trying to play right now anyway but GODDAMN is this ridiculous.

Also, this is the third week in a row where it's happened.

Edit: Ahh gently caress, hope my trade guild has a stand this week because lol who the gently caress knows anymore.

GM farms and refines like crazy but poo poo sells out in literally 20 mins tops. We do some crazy poo poo like 10k+ ore a day but it's all gone before I ever see any of it either. I think we have like 5 buyers that get in early and just grab everything. Dunno where they are cuz all my poo poo sells overnight. It's weird. FWIW we do like 45 mil a week but I have no idea WHEN.

I've been getting pretty rear end load times. Basically every delve has become d/c roulette, although technically if you want to wait I've never actually DC'd, you do load in eventually.

So apparently, alongside ESO Gold edition, Zenimax will also be offering the first four DLCs to anyone who owns base-game ESO in a special bundle called Guilds and Glory, for 5500 Crowns (Around 45 USD).

Lol just as you two start getting back in, we move back to the CP Sperglord campaign. RIP my magicka DK dragon leap build.

Honestly whoever said that CP hosed the game as soon as it was implemented was right. Azura's actually requires skill and coordination (though DC and AD just bypass this by stacking sheer numbers), going onto Haderus or Trueflame is basically a game of "I did my spreadsheet better than you."

Also, EP PUGs are the loving worst.

Believe me I'm pretty pissed about PvP right now, both because of those goddamn DC from Asia that flooded into Azura's from Blackwater and because of all the bullshit between DR and DC/AD.

Nothing stopping us from playing there ourselves tho (except *SOME* people don't want to PvP without their precious CP).
