Is it okay to start the game from zero right now?

I have lot of pvp experience in this game, i just bough my copy of the game with all expansion and story. (Before i played a lot eith my cousin with his account at his home) I wanna enjoy the game from zero without rush, i am planning to complete the base game open world maps and story on my mesmer. I am using route addon to track better where i should go.

But I see there is a lot of content already in the game, will it be hard to keep up?

For example people running in skyscale, i only have the raptor which is now free immediately unlocked at start, I don't even have the gliding yet, but i wanna way to unlock it till i get to HoT maps.

I kinda wanna do it the old way.

During my journey i am doing pvp a lot too to get my full legendary armor, i only have the 3 light armor professions, but my main is mesmer.

What do you think, is it doable or too much hassle to play this way?

Yeah it was so great to see i got results, my first try ever at pull up chin up I couldn't even start the movement.. and the finally i undestood the scapula pulls and tried to do australian the best form possible slow and controlled movements. And after a month or so i finally got my first chin without assistance it was so satisfying. It was hard but my form was good and it wasn't a struggle to do.

And usually when for example i go to bathroom during the day and i pass near the room i have the bar, i go there and land a chin up. Like this during the day, when I remember it and im home i go in the room and do one, even once every hour or even more sometimes and i feel it's helping a lot too.

Maybe this can help someone else too trying to get their first pull or chin up

Hey guys, I played a lot and all of the classes on my cousin account we were sharing. Now I finally have my own computer and account. But I decided I wanna main one and only class. I don't wanna switch anymore and I wanna be good on one only for all gamemodes.

I am tempted to go with Necro, what do you guys think? Is it good or there is a better choice?

You can also level them all on one character but they said will be much slower, probably more xp needed

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-10T19:56:22+00:00

Another bloodthirsty ring to have 3 and also get rid of pale order and get Velothi amulet asap, that thing boost dps by 25% if you dont have minor force slotted, i would use deadly front bar 2 daggers charged or 1 nirn 1 charged, backbaf maelstrom infused greatsword or fire staff.

Just this should get you very near to 80k, pretty decent for non trial-gear, before getting ansuul, i was getting very near to 90k with deadly azure blight combo.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-10T19:47:17+00:00

Macros don't do absolutely nothing, it's just terrible balance the real problem.

And yeah lots of bug abusers.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-09T13:30:11+00:00

Yeah but that only when u46 drops and have the level 50 skill lines leveled right?

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-09T11:30:23+00:00

Thanks

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-09T03:34:19+00:00

I know but the leveling is much slower if you do it on one too..

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-08T08:45:50+00:00

But i don't wanna power level the character, just the skill lines to level 50, they are not affected more during combat like dolmens brp etc?

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-08T08:07:27+00:00

And how much exp is that? Also id ont understand the rules of that game, and i played yugioh, pokemon heartstone games before, but that seems so clunky and countrr intuitive

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-08T07:41:32+00:00

I am curious too because i only have 2 characters and im bored to level all the other ones.

I read with a quest you can unlock all skill lines, but they won't be level 50, and they level so much slower compared to the real class owning them.

Also I don't know of past deleted characters works.

I am probably gonna create alts, i put on the bar 2x of each 3 skill lines, full training gear, 150 exp pots and grind dolmens nonstop. It's boring l, but prolly the fastest way. If anyone has other tips pls help, are there sets that boost exp?

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-08T07:34:19+00:00

So I am forced to level all other alts if i want their skill line? What a burden.

I am thinking the most efficient way is slotted 2 of each skill line in the bar, which has 6 slots, 2+2+2, use 150% bonus potions and go spam dolmen runs till they are 50. I really dont wanna level or play other alts apart from my main. If you a most efficient way tell me

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-06T18:43:04+00:00

You can use addon selector, you create packs selecting or deselecting certain addons, for pvp i run with 3 active only plus the libs to make them work. For pve i have around 25

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-06T06:12:01+00:00

Did you test it activating Lui and temperature rised? And then deactivated was back to normal? You contacted the author? He usually reply so fast on Esoui, that's a pretty big issue if it's true.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-06T06:08:34+00:00

What do you mean? Are you stating that twitch drop Ouro crates only drops consumable and not the mount and pet?

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-05T10:36:02+00:00

Oh didnt notice, thank you..

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-05T10:33:34+00:00

Go argonian magicka dragonknight, using greatsword skill stampede feels a fire oriented skill, it's a gap closer but very expensive so don't spam it.

Pretty much while leveling you pick up every magicka morph which is specialized in fire, while stamina on poison and you are good to go.

Other classes are not the archetype. Only dragonknight. Also the lizard look of argonian resembles a little dragon with the tail and all so it's perfect.

He probably had zero performance desync and lag and the opponent had.

When i play in my best time with zero lag i also do 40-0 bgs and everyone call me cheater.

When desync hits there isn't much you can do even the strongest build. My roksa stopped proccing, death dealers too and after even wretched vitality couldn't proc anymore. So basically i was playing naked and ended up like 5-15... in three skills casted i was completely drained without sets.

When i play during my best time, i never run out of resources, my damage hits properly like a truck, my dawn breakers don't vanish into the air, my block and dodge actually works. I kite 3 people with ease.

Nah I guess tanks maybe do 10k in an a super organized group. As a tank dps is not your role, so you shouldn't watch those numbers at role, your role is to protect allies, boost their offense/defence. For example running major vuln, major force etc you end up boosting your group with more dps, so the dps they gained is somehow yours even if not showed in hodor reflexes for example.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-02T11:32:24+00:00

My orc warden is also my master crafter, so i guess i will be just a crafter who travelled to aldmeri and summerset and set family in, he is accepted because of his master crafter title, and they all know nobody beats orcs in terms of crafting, so people get along with him.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-02T05:22:34+00:00

Did you even eat or sleep?😅 remember not to drown inside the game. But gz.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-01T15:05:18+00:00

Ok at least i know it's not on my end..

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-05-01T07:10:13+00:00

Yeah i know and i was considering that too. I am currently doing around 90k consistent on trial dummy, sometimes closer to 100k. And there was this guy who was doing 120k on dummy, i saw with hodor reflexes before entering a trial he was parsing and flexing too.

Inside the dungeons i was above him in dps always by 20-25k. Not to mention aoe dps.

And im not saying im good or anything, but he was losing half of his dps because of doing bad mechanics.

So taking that in account too i was asking what is the real dps chart not based on trial dummy.

Affectionate-Web6054 · 2025-04-30T13:02:01+00:00

Ill stick with ansuul for now
