Thinking of Soloing vet Dungeons again...

Waffennacht

Which DLC dungeons do you guys think are soloable?

Vet or hard mode (noticed this lingo a lot, is there a difference now?)

Its been a while and would love some thoughts

Edit: soloing makes getting armor easier when you cant get pugs

The short answer is any without pin mechanics that require interrupts from someone else....though pet buiulds may be able to solo those as well.

I know, for example, WW transformation use to prevent the skele transformation in that one dungeon (drawing blank on name)

So essentially im looking for non pin dlcs.

I know i ran into that mechanic in Fanglair - which may be bypassable via high dps?

Frostvault on Vet, I dunno if you can pass the Ogre jump and pound mechanic on the first boss

The newer dungeons after those I have not done, i just yesterday got the newest chapter, what about those?

I’ve been about to hack my way through all of the base game 1 numbered dungeons but can’t beat the final bosses without at least a competent tank. I am running my DPS toons through without any extra mitigation outside of slotting extra shields/heals. One shots are what kills me on the final bosses. A tanker build would probably preform better on the final bosses.

Some of the normal DLC are soloable too and in a few cases harder than Vet from the base game.

Waffennacht

@Everest_Lionheart any particular dlc dungeons that come to mind?

abzdeman

Maybe Cradle of shadows? But you have to be OP asf

for Spindlclutch 1, you can cheese the last boss by climbing up on the rock near the entrance and ranging her down.

you can solo vCoS....even with Dranos pin mechanic...but you have to either have a pet, or a strong ground based DOT that kills the ads before he one-shots you. Alternatively, with heavy armor, high health and a large shield you can survive his one shot....but you may have trouble putting out enough DPS then....you can always carry a tank set just for him though.

Normal, Veteran, Hard Mode. You can choose normal or vet before you go into the dungeon and, of course, vet is harder than normal throughout the dungeon. IF you chose vet, then when you approach the final boss, you can activate the 'scroll of glorious battle' lying around nearby. If you do so, the final boss is much harder than they would be on vet without activating that scroll.

I have no advice on the solo potential of DLC dungeons. I happily solo about 8 or so non-DLC dungeons on normal and that's about all the challenge I'm interested in.

Why waste your time on soloing dungeons? It isn't rewarding. No achievement either. Better read a book or go for a walk 🙄

Yesterday you were elitist tough guy in another thread telling me that if I can't solo vet dungeons it's ME problem. Now you asking about dungeon mechanics lmao. Seems like you haven't even done them with a group. Nice attitude, you must be wow refugee.

Waffennacht

@Kurat Lmfao, im trying to skip the whole process of beating 90% of a vet dungeon to run into a pin mechanic on the newer dlc dungeons. Ive been a way for a bit and havent playing the game recently

The whole intent is because Ive already soloed the non dlc vet dungeons and Mazzatun + im sure more that ive forgotten about.

Ive been soloing vet city of ash 2 back when that actually meant something.

Edit: and I have not done anything that came after Fanglair Frost vault those; but I seriously doubt you've soloed ANY dlc dungeons on any difficulty...

Closing on 5 years ago. Been soloing this game because I dont really have patience for trials and most group 4 mans are too easy

How can you say that most 4 mans are too easy if you've never done them lmao. Because if you had done them you would know their mechs and wouldn't ask here. And you say "most". Do you know that theres more dlc dungeons than base game ones. You brag here about soloing base game ones lmao, some achievement, so can half the playerbase. I've also soloed nFV, so what. You seem to be in this forum to only brag and put others down.

Waffennacht

@Kurat ill spell it out so you can no longer use hyberbole when describing what I have said

Dungeons I am Not Familiar with and would love to hear opinions or any other information about:
Castle Thorn
Depths of Malatar
Icereach
Lair of Maarselok
Moongrave Fane
Stone Garden
Unhollowed Grave

I have completed and/or soloed on vet:
White-Gold Tower
Scalecaller Peak
Ruins of Mazzatun
Moonhunter Keep
March of Sacrifices
Imperial City Prison
Frost vault
Fang Lair
Falkreath Hold
Cradle of Shadow
Bloodroot Forge
Vaults of Madness
Selenes Web
Blessed Crucible
Blackheart Haven
Volenfell
Tempest Island
Direfrost Keep
Crypt of Hearts 1 and 2
City of Ash 1 and 2

Wayrest Sewers 1 and 2
Elden Hollow 1 and 2
Darkshade Caverns 1 and 2
The Banished Cells 1 and 2
Spindleclutch 1 and 2
Fungal Grotto 1 and 2

Painfully clear that you're constant exaggeration of what you think I have or have not done. Im completely open about what I have or have not done.

You on the other hand apparently are

and could not finish the new arena on vet without the Ring. I would love to see any proof of you completing any dlc dungeon solo

Kurat

@Waffennacht, sorry I didn't think to record my nFV solo run. Had I known it's such a great accomplishment to brag about I would have.
From the list you provided, Depths of Malatar is the only one with pin mechanics (1st boss). The rest are theoretically possible to solo but extremely difficult. Solo any of them on vet and you'll have my full respect.
Also the completed list you provided doesn't say exactly which dlc vets have you soloed. You accuse me for guessing but dont provide straight answers. So far you only mentioned vRoM somewhere. That dungeon is one of the easiest dlc and been nerfed several times.

Waffennacht

@kurat thats the kind of info I made the thread about. Exactly what im looking for.

I have completed vet: RoM as you said, WGT, Prison (these were all back in the day, when it was harder imo) Scalecaller. I do not have any evidence of this. Thats another reason im looking to get back into soloing, I figure more people would wanna see that over PvP.

Your post was actually helpful and I appreciate that.

Mind you I'm talking about normal DLC difficulty. On vet it may be different due to the amount of damage from some bosses.

Castle Thorn - I did solo it when the dungeons went live, but servers were quite laggy and lot's of mechanics (like the pin on the first boss) didn't work. If you can skip the pin, then the dungeon is soloable.
Depths of Malatar - nope, there is a pin without adds on the first boss
Icereach - soloable
Lair of Maarselok - soloable
Moongrave Fane - I haven't tried to solo it, but afaik there there no mechanics that wouldn't allow it. It should be possible.
Stone Garden - soloable
Unhallowed Grave - I haven't tried to solo it, but afaik there there no mechanics that wouldn't allow it. It should be possible.

DoM normal is soloable. The pin wont actually 1-shot you unless you're very squish. You may be able to precog out of it on vet, haven't tested it though.

You can solo any dungeon if you go tanky enough as long as theres no pin 1 shot mechanics. You can swap gear in dungeon depending on boss fight. It's no challenge or rocket science.
In OP nFV video he is tanky af and therefore his dps is trash but as long as he keeps few dots on boss then crit surge keeps him healed. It's just takes forever to finish the dungeon. If you got the patience each to their own. He must have been there for 2 hours lol.
As long as you got self sustainable tank you can kill anything with 5k dps. Some bosses dont hit hard or has abit of a dps check then just swap gear/skills for less tanky and more dps. Most fights the mechanics just keeps repeating until boss dead. It's just cheese, there's not much skill required, especially with sorcs. Sorc is the solo king + ez mode. I would like to see his vSCP run with some other class tho.
