My DK is now Level 37, questing in Eastmarch. But a few days ago, I was in Wrothgar trying to do this quest to re-unite this Orc clan. First I had to go in this obviously soloable dungeon. Again, I had trouble killing everything due to their really large health pools (but still managed). At the end, I met this young Orc who her mother was worried about her, but she’s all “ugh, I can take care of myself!”
\nThe puzzle here was rather interesting. It had all the three role types of any MMORPG out there; Tank\/Healer\/DPS, on plaques with a brazier infront of each of them. And the way I figured it out is.. pretty much the order of importance of a standard dungeon group; Healer>Tank>DPS. Because without a healer, the group is fucked (unless they don’t need one).<\/p>\n
Figuring this out, we accessed this ancient Orc area that she was sure a shield or some helm (I forgot) that was locked in a special case, which can only be opened by activating a few specific things, would unite the Orc clan.
\nI saw these nearly lifelike statues in the halls of the place, thinking anytime, a few of them were going to come to life. And I was right. They nearly kicked my ass, but I got them down.
\nWhat DID kick my ass (and nearly cause me to break my left hand’s wrist due to…) was in the next room. Saw three guys on this statue table that suddenly come to life. They pwn me by shredding through my shield as if I didn’t have it. I did manage to beat them the second time I tried.
\nBut the real rager was when I managed to activate this machine in the middle of the room. A huge gargoyle appeared behind me… 166k HP. I tried everything I could, but my health was getting dangerously low. I’m forced to run around with it right on my tail… and due to the high respawning of solo dungeons, the group that pwned me came back and I had THEM chasing after me, too!
\nAt this time, I’m losing my shit and yell at my monitor “Just fucking kill me!!” Of course they have no problem doing that. And the next thing I did, let’s say I’m not proud of it. My left wrist is still sore from the repeated banging on my computer table (as I said, this was two days ago). Don’t think I broke my wrist, as I can still move it freely without too much pain. But this is what happens when the game wants to be unfair to me.<\/p>\n
I’m sitting there, dead as a doorknob, thinking I should definitely quit this game. And then I saw my Guild being active and asked them “Why is Orsinium so difficult…?”
\nThey asked me what my level was, and told them (it was 31 at the time) and mentioned how everyone’s V16 here.
\nThey told me it’s best to do at that level, and I told them what I was told that “any level can do it”, followed by “I call BS”. But they convinced me to just go back to “the non-vet areas”.
\nReally wish Zos told everyone that it’s recommended to be V16 to enjoy the content. But I rezzed at the closest Wayshrine the game could find and teleported out of there; back to Shadowfen. I then killed someone just to see if I was back, and they died in 5 seconds… it’s so good to feel OP again.<\/p>\n
One other thing to note. I feel like I’m going to hit V1 before my Sorcerer did (mainly due to being in the Orsinium DLC, and the 10% XP increase for being an ESO+ subscriber). This feels a bit bad, as all the quests here are green-colored. I also got into the Mages and Fighters Guild questlines (to get the Persuasive and Intimidate dialog options unlocked, mainly).
\nAlso, I actually saw a Stam Sorcerer while leveling, using a bow as his only ability. They actually do exist! Amazing. I’m NOT the only one that sucks at this game! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
