Late feedback, but yes, I do pledges with a Finnish guy quite often, and when we try like hardmodes/no death runs etc. in DLC dungeons, it's actually the difference between failure and success to hear his calming voice with broad Finnish accent: "Now just be calm... Put dots on the boss and ONLY look for the ghosts, nooothing else..." (Fang Lair, for example). I'm to stressful and close to panic all the time. ;-D

Noice!^^ Cleared my first Maelstrom with the Easy Sorc, got my Flawless on Easy Sorc; can do Solo Dungeons (even on Vet) with Easy Sorc and completed almost all of my first Vet Trails on Easy Sorc....This build is so good as an ALLrounder in this Game, for EVERYone, no matter what some people say! And it has the coolest looking glowy arms...just saying XD And an awesome Guide! Love that you are SHOWINg the mechanics and slow down the rounds and not just burn everything. This is very helpfulL!

Thank you sir, this is super helpful, I especially love how you demonstrated different (all) scenarios that we might come across

Seems so much easier to work the mechanics when you do that much damage. You were clearing adds with a single heavy attack. It takes me 3 times as long to kill adds, exacerbating the whole situation. Stuck on the ice one by the way. And yes, its the bane of my existence.

This video has helped Maelstrom be so much easier than I expected to be. So many people told me my dps was just too low to complete veteran but just knowing how things work got me through almost every level so far! I love that you don't force meta sets down everyones throat and just want people to have fun and learn

Thanks for making this video. Without knowing the mechanics I would not know what the heck was happening. This seems a lot of work and I appreciate the time you took out of your busy day to make. I think an additional part that has been difficult for me is attempting to learn the abbreviations and how it all work together. I am lucky that the majority of gamers out there are stand up, patient, understading, super nice and very intelligent. The help given to me has been nothing short of miraculous. You guys make it appear effortless. Again, a million thanks for all you do. Timothy J Bean PS- May the odds be ever in your favor😉

Hey man , I just wanted to say thank you for your work , I finally completed vMA for the first time lol...liked n subbed , stay safe

Old, but still the best Maelstrom Guide! Thanks a lot!

You got me through VMA on my first ever attempt at maelstrom at all (went into veteran unknowlingly, didnt realize until arena 4 or 5 lol). Looked up this vid at the mushroom(plant :P) arena, and damn, it was hectic but i got through it! Literally just finished it. Thanks man, for all your content.

Great guide. You inspired me with how easily you walk through VMA. I am only CP 360 or so, but I have soloed most Normal 4 mans, so I thought I would give this a try. Clearly I am completely shithouse as I just got smashed even though I seemed to be avoiding the mechanics thanks to your guide. Oh well, I'll try again when I am better geared. Liked and subbed.

Watched this before doing my first ever vMA just now, and then realized that melee Magplar has some serious power because I did it on my first try with only 2 deaths, both of which were me failing to avoid a knockdown and not being able to heal in the water on the ice arena. Great guide! Definitely glad I watched it first.

This whole time I thought you had to avoid the green circles in stage 3 lol. I've only tried VMA for the first time on two characters recently. Beat it on both but I've still got a lot to learn.

literally just cleared this place listening to your video

Damn I remember first time I beat this when it came out. Took me like 70 soul gems, and almost a heart attack before killing the last boss. Good times

You made it look so easy. My first normal run, 2+ hour with reading guides, Vet 3+ hour with dozen of deaths and repairs and, swearing. Hope it get easier.

It took me a sec to figure out what you meant when you said _"Check your charges."_ I haven't had to manually do that in years! I can't recommend the *WeaponCharger* addon highly enough! It'll automatically recharge your weapons, even mid fight. My sympathies to those trapped on Consoles...

Finally completed vMA and I hated every minute of it ! But your guide helped.. thanks!

Did one on normal for the first time last week, did another and another, I panic less, and it's getting easier, I can't wait to try veteran when I'm confident enough !!

Heya, really great guide!! Hope to go there some time. Wondering if I could do this in a tank build, but probably not, cause the key is sustain AND DPS not just sustain af. ;-) Greets and keep it up!

Used this guide for my first time in MA. Got through it super easy with only 1 stupid-death. and got the bow I needed. Super happy. :) Was surprised at how easy this was, my expectations were way too high. I out-healed the argonian boss's enrage and burst him down, the second time. First time, I got hit with 3 shrooms with no green pads and hit my food instead of my potion, haha. RIP.

Got through vma last week. Frustrating but eventually you learn mechanics and it's not as bad

Good summary. I finished veteran mode on my first try with the help of this guide. I recommend the Oakensoul ring for an all-around boost, a strong single-target damage ability, an anti-CC, and a cleanse, as there are many DoTs. Speed is also important to dodge abilities and get to the objectives. Recommended skills: charging maneuver, cleanse, shuffle, resolving vigor. However, I don't recommend that anyone play it. For me, this is hands-down the worst content in ESO. It's an irritating CC fest: you get stunned, pushed, slowed, pulled, knocked back or one-shot all the time. It's also very laggy-taking a bonus requires at least 5 clicks to work, and using the tab to target an enemy is inconsistent. Pets are a liability as they just stay in aoes and keep on getting killed, unless micromanaged. Some mechanics are the same as those in other bosses in the game, and the majority of the arenas are flat surfaces with no levels. The environments don't look good, and the polymorph should have been a costume instead, as the face is really ugly. I played it once and will never touch it again.

Nice guide, but been wondering if you'll do cloudrest and sunspire. Your guide really help me lot, thank you

So, relax 90% and mechanics 10%... Right, got it. Seriously though, this helped a lot, thank you

Quick question regarding arena 8 you said by 4 rounds of destroying the crystals the boss starts to throw flame at you and chain you in, im currently on arena 8 with the final boss and by the 2nd round of destroying cystals shes starts to chain me in and throws them flames at me? Is it a glich or have they changed it?

Im currently stuck on the final boss with my warden tank... pretty hardcore but hopefully after watching this a few times i understand it more... just gonna take 5x as long xD

Unfortunately, I don't think this paints the full story. I am quite impressed at the simplicity of a heavy attack mag build in demystifying the chaos. If you just need to clear VMA, this seems like the Occam's Razor approach, which is excellent. However, I main a stamblade, and that appears to be on the opposite side of the spectrum when it comes to VMA. No health, no balanced range, no way of playing slow and steady with heavy attacks. No amount of knowing the mechanics and where things spawn is going to keep you from getting wrecked in 3-4 hits before you even get to an enemy. I'd like to see a VMA video with a stam build, and my personal preference would be to see stamblade.

I’m trying the vma with my (almost) Toxicity build (minus the weapons) and am failing miserably. I’ve just watched the video you did on the pre-vma gear...does this still stand? I have Twice-Born but have replaced with Relequen...my sustain is s^^t! My skills are as per Toxicity...I’m CP744...

Awesome guide @Xynode forgive my ignorance but how are you killing the mobs with one heavy attack ? Both my lightning staffs of sorrow are golded and enchanted and it still takes me about 3 heavy attacks before they drop !

I was super hyped to try Veteran mode once again after watching this video, and I finally ended up beating the ice level... just for the game to glitch and not actually end. It was in an infinite loop then when i finally killed myself, it reset everything and I haven't been able to kill the boss since

@@Immediately_ Hey, so when you go to your group menu, the place where you have dungeon finder, endeavors, zone guide, etc. at the very top there is a "Dungeon Mode" option. By default, it's on Normal. Toggle that to veteran and you're all set. This affects any dungeon and arena that you walk or teleport to I believe.

Ooh, what outfit styles were used in the intro, the helmet looks sick

Why doesn't the synergy prompt always pop up while I know I have it? Can I still activare it anytime when I have the 3 ghosts and haven't used them yet? Is there a way to see which ad took the ghost? How much do they get buffed, is it all of them or just the one that grabbed it?
