That was helpful :) thank you so much :)!

[@plainluke722]

Thank you bro. Not a lot of trial video guides on youtube. Will you do a guide for Sanctum Ophidia, Cloudrest, Hall of Fabrication and the others? A lot of noobs count on these :)

[@DemMedHornene]

Thanks for the comment. I actually already have one for Sanctum. I never did ones for cloudrest and halls, because I'd stopped doing those kind of guides at the time they came out. But halls is also hard to do a proper guide for, since a few of the bosses have extremely rng-based mechanics. You should be able to find guides for those two though, I would imagine. But yeah, the KZbin community for ESO is tiny compared to other MMOs.

How the hell do I start a trial?

[@DemMedHornene]

Find 11 other people and enter one of the trials in the game. Simple as that.

[@GandalfTheSilver]

+Saturn666 Ok thanks.

[@JaclynRizzi85]

Can you do a Trial with more than 12 players? Sorry, maybe a stupid question but I've never done one before. Thanks

[@DemMedHornene]

Unfortunately, you cannot. Although there have been several times where I've wished it was possible, but it has remained this way since launch, so the likelihood of it being changed is slim.

[@JaclynRizzi85]

Thanks for the Reply. I'm not that great which is why I was wondering lol

[@DemMedHornene]

We all have to start somewhere. Trials also have two difficulty modes now (well, technically three if you count veteran hardmode), so the learning curve is a bit softer than it used to be back when I made this video. If you want to do this kind of content, I'd definitely recommend trying to find either a semi-serious raiding guild or a social guild that does trials, since those tend to be good environments to flourish in. I run my own social guild, and have done for several years, that usually does casual raiding on the weekends (though not so much right now due to my busy schedule, but I digress) and there has been a lot of people who started out as very inexperienced and then through the community we provided got better over time and some even passing on to hardcore raiding guilds. Hope it helps!

[@bemcmachine6349]

What level do you have to be to do trials

[@DemMedHornene]

You can technically do it at any level, but I'd recommend CP160, since you'll have the maximum amount of stats in terms of gear. However, for newer trials, I'd recommend being at the cap, or close, since you'll need the CP stats for damage / heals / survivability / etc.

[@skalman5647]

how do i find people?

[@DemMedHornene]

I would recommend joining a guild that does trials

[@plainluke722]

Go to craglorn, specifically Belfarst wayshrine. People usually calling out for trials group in zone chat. Make sure you have your chat HUD turned on in the settings menu. When people are recruiting just whisper them or put in zone chat "healer/dps/tank looking for trial"

[@ITSBL00DLINES]

Great guide bro. Are you using hist bark?

[@DemMedHornene]

I might have been using that at the time. Not really sure, since this is almost 4 years ago. I personally think there are a lot better sets for tanking now, so this isn't something I would recommend now I think.

[@Verticom10]

So 2h stamina dps is obsolete?

[@DemMedHornene]

Please keep in mind that this video is from 2014, and doesn't accurately represent the game as it is now.

[@Verticom10]

Saturn666 derp lol

[@DemMedHornene]

To answer your question though, 2h stamina dps has become fairly viable with the Morrowind Update, and one of the strongest stamina builds around is a 2handed stamina sorcerer setup. That being said, I think 2hander is harder to pull off with other classes, but it's definitely a lot better than in the past.

[@Verticom10]

Saturn666 ok good news thanks!

[@MrDonkeyburger]

This boss has a mechanic that does damage... Taking the boss here because reasons... Seriously, you call this a guide

[@DemMedHornene]

Yes.
