Seriously, common sense says this is to be expected and a very good thing when the best players can complete the content, and solo on normal difficulty by the best players out there is just "par for the course"..

Aww, thank you! Also,

I really enjoy when I go to something in a game that says "for 4 players" and I know "I'm probably going to fail but...YOLO!" and try it anyway and fight tooth and nail and actually succeed because I learned the mechanics and prioritized the right targets.
That's how I soloed Shada's Tear on my crap-geared templar with 5k-dps(on target dummy) over a year plus ago despite one-shot mechanics in there and the completely unique to craglorn group content enemies that shout "TAKING AIM!" and the skeleton versions that sneakily do it without the yell. I'm still proud of that accomplishment even if I don't do it solo anymore because I don't like to sweat that much that often.

You're a legend for doing that with only 5k dps...I think I went in there my first time with 12-15k on my pet sorc and still had trouble with that Nereid boss at the end...I almost gave up honestly. That was quite a while ago, but man I still remember it.

Honestly, I only actually got up to 5k on testing after that, so I was likely worse. I'm pretty sure I had just enough purple pieces of Whitestrake's Retribution to keep me alive on things like the blacksmith boss there, but everything else was literally random dropped blues and greens. That nereid with the pulling dragonknight minions was tough with lots of strafing and light attacking and hardly anything else. It was a long few tries. (Edit: I had the gear enchanted for all magicka also, not health and 32 points to health and 32 to magicka, so my buffed health with food was like 22k so not a tank. LOL)

It was fun because at least I could learn and do it, instead of it being stuck with gimmicks that made it impossible.

The same templar, in the same gear, also soloed Aetherion, or however they spell the name of the boss of Skyreach Pinnacle, without letting him reform from his core even once, thanks to Radiant Glory(I like self heals) before the 20% damage nerf and recent buffs. It also helped that this was before the Morrowind sustain nerfs so it was a little bit easier in execute range.
