I’m back in Orsinium, and I managed to kill a standard V16 mob in less than 10 seconds. Something that would normally take 15-30. How? The title answers that question. Though I went through hell to get to this point. Namely, my Guild.
First off, though.. ZoS managed to fully get back my chars. Even managing to restore Guild status and got their banks (though I feel like I got a bit more money than I was supposed to have). All the stuff I bought on the Crown Store is still here as well.
Anyway, I needed to replace my Level 46 gear with VR1 gear. Taking the advice of that thread I made, I asked for Superior(Blue) quality on all pieces. Got the sword done, but the rest of the gear took an hour until I got someone to do it.
The next day, I looked up what I would need to make all the glyphs. Including getting ‘Crushing’ on my sword to greatly reduce the Armor of my target and ‘Foulness’ on my bow.
Instead of asking for the glyphs to be made (or hunting down the runes to make them) I asked the Guild for the runes, hoping I could make them myself. Turns out…I cannot. 😛 So I had to send them back.
To get the glyphs, took a lot longer than the gear. They didn’t understand why I would need such powerful glyphs (was asking for Superior quality) for my champ rank. One of them even said they’ll make them if I pay for them. Really, though..I’m desperate. I want to do and complete Orsinium (and prove to myself that it was the gear and not my skill holding me back).
Finally I got the glyphs (didn’t have to pay), even got some ‘Increased Physical Harm’ ones for the future accessories that I bought via the Guild Stores at Windhelm. Using a new mod that gives me an actual search feature (to look for a specific item).
With that, I was all set and went to Orsinium. Near my port, I saw a lone V16 not too far from me. Tried out my bow, and was amazed on how fast their health bar was going down! And it was dead, in less than 10 seconds.
I’m half-convinced. The other half will be from being able to solo that ‘unsoloable’ dungeon that nearly caused me to break my left wrist in rage. Revenge is a bitch, and revenge I hope to have. But from what I’ve seen in my attacks, I have high hopes that it’s possible. Especially with the Superior quality glyphs.
My only weakness, is I’ll need to relearn my combat style (and when to move if I see red).
.
EDIT: Turns out I didn’t have to complete the dungeon to advance the quest. Also, I actually had ‘help’ from a few players who were soloing the dungeon at the same time I was.
Haven’t had too much trouble with other mobs. Still dying normally (but I don’t feel like I’m taking forever to kill someone). The only thing is I’m trying to grind my Bow skills (especially Snipe). For some reason, the damn thing is taking a very long time to get up to the point that I can morph it into ‘Lethal Arrow’, which lowers the effectiveness of healing done to them (aka, will lessen their healing ability if the mob has one).
I am slightly concerned that once again, I may not be using my DK effectively. Mainly due to the PvE abilities, mostly using abilities granted from PvP. Other than that (and having done a few group bosses with a Group of 10+ people.. one time, starting my own group), nothing really to report.
Well, one other thing. My DK is now VR2. Feel like I’m half done with Wrothgar. I’ve solo’d all the delves without too much trouble.
