Hello!

Wanted to give a shout out to the goons that completed vHRC last night, many for the first time. Congrats!

For the goon progression group idea, I just wanted to touch on a couple of things/clear up some items:

Y u hate stam builds, y u do dis? Y r u racist against khajiit? You can absolutely DPS as a stam based toon in vet trials, up to and including HM vMOL. So why the cold shoulder for stam DPS? Well, the reason magicka DPS is tops right now is due to the fact that A) most are ranged (exception are most mDK and magplar builds, but both of which can absolutely be built as ranged only) which affords them an extra level of saftey, B) every magicka class has access to a powerful shield - Harness Magicka - which is literally a life saver in game in certain scenarios, and C) All magicka classes have insane AOE/Cleave damage thanks to their class AOE abilities, but also due to Elemental Rage (the destro ulti).

That all being said, bring your stam DPS toon if thats your strongest! Its all good! It is what progression is about!

Whats with the turbo sperg 20K DPS rule? Well, here is the honest thing. You can scrape by with less, as long as some of your other teammates are pouring out 35K+ with raid buffs. But that is beside the point. 20K * 8 is 160k DPS. The mage at the end of vAA has 69 million HP. Manti in vSO 38 million and change. Both have a DPS check where 25K is the minimum. No one wants to struggle though the bosses cause we don't have enough damage. That said, 20K DPS is pretty easy to achieve, and WE would love to help! Rotations, gear, buffs, ect, it all makes a difference. Keep in mind that if you want to parse, you will get ele drain or pierce armor (as both of these are up 100 percent of the time in vtrials) so you are not asked to go it alone.

Bruh, you have, like, less CP than my kid sister, lul get reckt son It is true, 360ish CP and counting. I came from a dark land of 30 FPS, no add ons, and a 99 percent CTD rate between rounds 6 and 7 of vMA. I, of course, mean Xbox. Still, we slugged through all vtrials (vMOL included) because we are colossal idiots.

Progression? So the reason we were looking for 12 core players is because the central idea behind progression is that all 12 players have the same role each time (at the beginning) and that all are comfortable with each others playstyle. It becomes second nature to know that player x will always know how to react and assist players y and z if a certain scenario occurs. When there is a failure, everyone is there to review and learn from it. Ain't no judgement or anger, everyone gets better, and you move forward. Eventually you pull in other players, start running multiply raids at the same time, and it spirals out of control until you are drinking your wife's Bud Lime-A-Rita while hiding under a blanket on the couch, too shaken to press the off button on your console.

WOO END GAME!

Tons of folks offering to help farm eq the last week or so, this is good. The difference between pulling 20k dps and not is just gear and rotation. Rotation with magicka builds is generally pretty easy and lots of folks can help anyone having a tough time with that. Get ftc now and go to gamerghoul's or my pads (@slugg077) and beat on the skelly and check your parse. I watched mine steadily increase over the last week as I geared and practiced and it was cool to watch it steadily ticking up. I'm terrible at this game so if I can do it I'm pretty sure anyone can. VO, infallible aether, 2fang, Alkosh - so many sexy rear end sets in trials. :getin:

Right now, I have 1 AP and 1 DC character. I made them before One Tamriel, especially my AP Khajiit.
The only one I would remake would be the DC one, as my Khajiit is level 31 now. Everything else will be Lizard Pact.
Doesn't matter, I can play the rest of the game wherever. PvP is where I'd most like to play with other Goons.

On the plus side even my level 20 alts can now do all the Equipment writs and get me Master writs and Gold mats; on the downside I now have 9 characters that need to do Equipment writs and my lowbie Alts barely have any skillpoints left over to actually level.

I have 5 writable characters and have the same question. I haven't used them for master writs yet since I was on the road shortly after the update. I begin to suffer when my MMO starts to become like a job.

I made a lot of progress on my house this past week.

Acquiring the Redguard Counter and Redguard Counter, Corner blueprints put all this in motion. Now I finally have a proper kitchen.


View from behind the counter.


Upstairs is the storage room/treasure hoard, with my trusty guard jackal.


Cleans-the-Bones stays here rent-free but won't even do the drat dishes.


Pirharri the Useless Smuggler is not even allowed inside.


What's this ramshackle building I added over here?


Why, it's the best little outhouse in Tamriel.


Note: Real money was not spent on any of the decorations you see here—this was all either crafted, found, or purchased from various furnisher NPCs. I have, however, already exceeded the item limit for non-subscribers.

I stopped by alone at sluggo's mansion this afternoon and managed to break 20k and I'm just a stamdk (that is real bad cause I mostly played magdk until switching to Stam right before magdk became a thing again naturally) and in just crafted gear (hundings/nmg + agility jewelry) and barely play in comparison to most people. If you're struggling to hit that 20k mark just ask and I'm sure helpful goons will definitely help you, 20k is easily attainable with some guidance.

My main is a dunmer stamdk that mostly just does guild dailies and maybe a random normal once a week so no, I can offer no guidance on being a cool true good player. But if you want to read books together in my apartment in Mournhold I can help you with that.

But for anyone looking for it Scy's guides are real amazing cause they break everything down for you or as an alternative if he hasn't covered what you're looking for alcasthq.com is good cause he's like Scy, unlike most other build places he gives out good starter gear set ups (instead of just assuming you already have max CP and maelstrom gear) on top of skill load outs.

Yes, I find both Scy's and Alcasts guides really useful. I also like to reference JaxkDanielESO (I think that's his name) for similar reasons as well as wildly alternative builds that reveal underlying mechanics and such. I can understand the guides. I often have problems realizing them for some reason.

You can buy a house. All the houses are instanced so no ERPer is going to keep you homeless.

Game is pretty fun. My highest character is level 49 right now so I am not an expert but I like playing it.

What was your set up? I stopped at the frozen lake because it was getting too painful to push through. I'm only like CP200 with purple gear though so I feel like I've been doing pretty good.

It also pushed me past my burn-out point and I haven't played in like 2 weeks. I'll probably come back but put vMA on hold until I at least get gold weapons and maybe another 100 or so CP levels for good measure

Ok so gonna post how I did, but Dori's the authority on magblade farming vMA so he can correct me as he sees fit.

-Drop a Refreshing Path on your location, stay in it (unless you're in stage 2, try to avoid the blades) unless you absolutely have to move.
-ALWAYS keep Funnel Health/Swallow Soul going. That's gonna be your main source of healing in the arena.
-Always keep Relentless Focus up. Refresh it after you fire the Spectral Bow.
-With that, always have Harness Magicka up. If you don't take damage, refresh it right after you refresh Relentless Focus.
-Make sure you have a Lightning staff on your back bar, and have Wall of Elements on that bar. The Concussion and Off-Balance procs from Blockade of Storms help a ton. Prioritize targets that are off-balance (heavy attack) to stun them.
-Use Agony/Prolonged Suffering to disorient ranged targets if you're facing more than one at a time. DO NOT attack a disoriented target, let the disorient ride out the full duration.
-Use Thunderous Rage when facing minibosses and main bosses. With Soul Harvest slotted on your front bar, you should be building ultimate crazy fast.
-Use the sigils. You're not getting a flawless run/leaderboard run the first time around, take advantage of all the tools at your disposal.
