What are your limits on Solo play? (Difficulty)

Vet Maelstrom Arena

Depends I think soloing all of Craglorn pre one Tamriel was pretty hard but Vet VMA is a pain in the but so ill go with that.

Vet Maelstrom Arena

I've done a few group vet dungeons solo for a few reasons, but I draw the line at vet maelstrom arena ss far as difficulty goes.

Vet Maelstrom Arena

VMA as the rest is group.

But actually tougher solo end game is PvP

Vet Maelstrom Arena

I've soloed all non-DLC veteran dungeons (that don't require a second person for mechanics). Finished vMA a few years ago.

The DLC dungeons are pretty tough though. Haven't tried to solo any of them in years and certainly not on Vet. Maybe it's time to try again?

PVP. I've done vMA with stamina DK and sorc. I always feel at a disadvantage at PVP.
Yes of course I need to l2p but also I need to think too much about the build and deal with uber unkillable players that hit like a truck at the same time, and in top of that there's the lag and skill not firing,

So yeah I draw my line there, too much trouble. When I pvp I don't take it seriously and don't set my goals too high.

Bloomin Blackheart Haven bosses..... wanna farm Bone Pirate but can’t quite cut it.... ugh....

Some world bosses are tough too...

I'm quite sure that Blackheart Haven can't be solo'd due to mechanics, I had to farm a purple bone pirate necklace when jewelry crafting wasn't a thing for an excessive amount of time and what I did is clear all bosses over and over solo and have a random friend to join me to kill the last boss.

VDSA is quite fun to solo, but round 7 can be very frustrating

Lower level Group Dungeon on Normal (First two or three alliance areas)

Only on my tank. But it takes about 30mins to do it. Never tried it on a DD before. Since my DD alts are crafters/inventory mules and for some reason the concepts of LA weaving and rotations continue to elude me.

I haven't finished vMA yet because of situational awareness. I am stuck on Stage Six. I have a feeling I am making this stage much harder than it needs to be because I am not paying attention like I should.

There is one boss that spawns from a geyser that is a real pain to kill solo. I've managed it a couple of times but usually have to wait for a bit of help. Don't remember the name but it is that damn lizard that spits poison all over hell and back.
The two Gryphon bosses in Summerset abuse me badly. Haven't finished that one solo yet or even come close.

Vet Maelstrom Arena

I've done all the easy base game dungeons (normal) solo, and just today was trying CoA2 on a whim - got to the ritual fights just before Valkyn and was stuck there. vMA, I've made it through round 5, the last time I tried I was stuck on round 6. That's probably about my limit.

russelmmendoza · February 2019

Normal Maelstrom Arena

I can also solo normal dsa.

Just saying.

Protoavis73 · February 2019

Vet Maelstrom Arena

Choose vMA because I only started doing the 1st stage and had to stop because of other (real life) things.
Done nMA now a few times and while the 1st run was difficult because I didn't know what to expect (thought there were only 5 stages or so, so I kept my guild up to date about the progress and they said go for it, only 6 more now and I was like: what?? there are 9 stages...okay

).
Not done a normal dungeon solo yet, but when I read that the easier ones are easier then or comparable with nMA then I really should try it some day. Though it's not my goal to do things solo.
With delves, public dungeons I sometimes don't even notice that the boss was already killed (though when I was a lower lvl I certainly did!). World bosses is mixed, done a few solo, but whenever I try a more difficult one and died 2 times I just walk away and don't want to put more time in it.

Blackheart Haven can be solo'd but only if you're a werewolf since he can't turn you into a skeleton.

vma is so easy now after 1k+ clears...

vet fang lair last boss solo was funny but doable even without build tuning in 2 attempts

all classic dungeons that doesn't require group mechanics to pass thru done on vet HM

most funny world boss - whrotgar's unfinished dolmen - done without any changes to my common dps build

actually i think i had most fun in city of ash II vet HM solo clear - that was some sort of challenge and i

actually had to change some gear / food /skills from my regular build on Valkin Skoria

Mr_Walker · February 2019

Lower level Group Dungeon on Normal (First two or three alliance areas)

I can solo FG1, but ironically have more problems with trash mobs than the bosses. Squishy NB.

That and most of the group delves in Craglorn is about my limit.

siddique · February 2019

Normal Maelstrom Arena

VMA is probably the most annoying thing ever. I don't play it much but I have yet to complete it. The normal one is rather easy, every thing dies before I even get in the fight.

I can solo most base game world bosses and some non DLC dungeons too.

LuxLunae · February 2019

Vet Maelstrom Arena

I never finished vet MA.... I played the game for 3 yrs

Linaleah · February 2019

Normal Maelstrom Arena

I picked nMA becasue I would consider its difficulty on par with some of the early dungeons (which i can also solo on normal). that is as far as I can solo, personaly. thinking about maybe giving vma another shot. maybe. on a sturdier class/spec combo. but I don't know... its.. rough... I mean, I can't even solo dungeons with 2 in their names on normal, what chance do i have? might try again because its just repair bills. if I fail and keep failing, ah well.

I wish this option was a bit more split out. I can solo some vet dlc dungeons but I have yet to solo vhof or anything

The swarming trash is brutal. And gives no XP to top it off. Probably why I've only attempted FG1 once before calling dungeoneering quits. Trash in public dungeons feels like that too.

What are your limits on Solo play? What is the hardest content you have the ability to complete when playing Solo? As a comment you can add what you personally thought was the hardest content you've completed solo as it pertains to ESO. The poll is laid out from my perspective of easiest to hardest. It is probably not the same for everyone. I'm going to group the last few things together as I don't know where to put their difficulty.

Guaranteed Insightful click at a minimum from me for sharing your opinion, provided it's not rude to other players, for your participation.

it depends if your a outstanding DPS player you can solo most of the group dungeons . If your an oustanding healer or tank player but not very good with DPS you cant solo *** lol. game design is pretty flawed in all honesty.

Harder Group Dungeons (Think Selene's Web)

Harder Group Dungeons on normal, lower level group dungeons on vet is about where I sit.

IMO both are more difficult then normal Maelstrom Arena. I have not completed vet Maelstrom, but I'm relatively certain I could do it if I was willing to put in the time. I haven't spent more then a couple hours in the final phase of round nine (a dozen or so times coming back down from the crystals up top), and haven't been in there at all, on vet, for a couple of years now.

Switching support skills for DPS skills on my healer I can solo just fine so long as there isn't a DPS check as a mechanic. My healer has thumped several world bosses and finished most public dungeons. She has also soloed bosses in the Imperial City Sewers. The fight lasts a lot longer than it does when I go using a pure DPS character but in the end the monster dies.

Vet Maelstrom Arena

Vma, is obviously an outlier as it is designed for and can only be completed solo.

I would say the limits of solo play are problem the original dungeons, the ones with the 1 infront of them and like vaults of madness

Trials, arenas and vet dlc dungeons are all a no
Normal dlcs dungeons and the "2" vet dungeons if your really good but generally I would say no
Vet "1" dungeons and normal "2" dungeons are pretty likely

He wasn't really that tough for me, I got him down to half health solo but then ran out of resources.
I had a MUCH harder time with the golden saint in stonefalls and the gargoyle in rivenspire though.

Harder Group Dungeons (Think Selene's Web)

I've completed normal Maelstrom arena and some of the harder group dungeons but I haven't made much progress on veteran Maelstrom (vMA) yet. I can already tell that I'm going to need a LOT of soul gems to get through vMA.
