[Elder Scrolls Online] The worst pair of DPSs I have ever seen (And the comeback once they are gone)

5 months ago

This is a snippet from my livestream at http://kick.com/reddemonmagus where I, as a tank, am attempting to clear a Veteran Cradle of Shadows run with a random healer and two damage dealers. (DDs/DPSs)

As soon as I entered this dungeon I noticed the DPS level from our DDs was lower than normal for a veteran DLC clear attempt. Even more shocking was the lack of positioning awareness from these DDs, one of them ignoring zones that deal damage over time ("standing in stupid"), the other ignoring a mechanic where not standing in a light induces massive damage over time, this other DPS is known jestfully as the "Hero of Skyrim" due to his title next to his name, and his abysmal performance.

The group eventually was stuck on the second boss due to the DDs inability to do damage and stay alive. (Constantly standing in the explosion, not using self heals correctly, lack of damage) I also missed blocking on 3 out of 4 deaths of mine, which could have been avoided if I measured things better (I wasn't aware my block was off in those instances), however, the deaths had little influence on the run, but my deaths pissed me off.

Eventually, after a 14 minute grind on the 2nd attempt at the 2nd boss, one where I was doing 45% of the damage as a tank (Which should never happen in a serious run), both damage dealers left after being called out on their performance. A few minutes later, two new damage dealers appeared, and their performance was far superior than the initial DDs, which led to funny overreactions of mine to the "professional DPS" which was really just being competent at the role.

Eventually this run was cleared on the hard mode setting very easily and with minimal deaths, and me and the healer bonded over this unusual experience. A wholesome ending to one of the worst runs I've witnessed. Without a doubt these DDs were worse than Irma ( https://rumble.com/v5czyh9-elder-scrolls-online-the-story-of-irma-the-worst-dps-in-eso.html ) and this run stands as a display of the worst possible DPSs you can get in a random queue.
