Hey folks. One thing that some people, myself included, enjoy is soloing tough pve content. So, here's a question for all you likeminded chums!

What is the most difficult pve content you have single-handedly overcome?
What class / build did you use?

    Veteran Maelstrom Arena, but soloing Shada's Tear (Craglorn) as CP < 300 has been very hard for me as well.

    I've solo'd almost every non-DLC vet dungeon but not on hard mode. I've done a few of the hard modes and for the most part they aren't much harder, just not as forgiving of mistakes.

    I run a magsorc though so it's probably one of the better classes for soloing.

    VMA was hard at first, but the hardest part is getting flawless your first time. Once you do, you begin to notice it's not as tough as you once thought, just needed to learn more about the way each arena works.

    Same can be said of vet dungeons really. There are still some fights such as vCoA II that I wont even attempt the final boss. It's too much of a headache.

    Aside from vMA (did on Pet Sorc so most would say I cheated ;) ).......beating Doshia and Mannimarco the first time (when game released and was actually tough).

    Yes, these were definitely tough fights back when I didn't know the game nearly as well haha....

    I think if you put me in my shoes back then, with the knowledge I have now, I probably wouldn't have had nearly as much trouble.

    Great responses! Keep them coming!

    @DeadlyPhoenix What gear / skills do you use to solo tough content with your magsorc? I've been using my magsorc to do something similar. Any tips to make it even stronger can always be useful!

    Questing just felt better when you had a challenge! I can't stay awake doing DLC zones now it is all so easy. Game has improved but overland PvE is a joke now.

    Really soloing them is mostly about patience and paying attention. Some of the builds I use dont give the best damage or even best defense, but a decent mix of the two.

    Ultimately it comes down to learning the mechanics of any given fight. Knowing when to block, dodge, purge, etc.

    As to a build, one of my current ones I like that make things super simple, I've posted here on the forums.
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/400833/one-bar-easy-vma-magsorc-build-for-dragon-bones-no-trial-monster-set-or-maelstrom-weapon-needed#latest

    This is a simple one bar build that is very effective. If you're good at bar swapping you can get great numbers while maintaining high sustain, damage and defenses.

    It's not the best build by any means, but I don't chase meta, I build things the way I like them :smile:

    Vet tempest island was probably the hardest vet dungeon i've solo'd. That last fight is brutal.

    vMA on my stamblade bow/bow build was probably the hardest challenge I've done however.

    Vma is not that difficult, I think soloing some vet dungeons would be more difficult.

    But I assume most people like me don't have the urge or need to solo vet dungeons as you get nothing from it, would rather save time and group.

    Some normal dungeon I did when farming some item set I need/want.

    Unlike the rest of y'all, I can't do vMA and won't solo vet dungeons because that sounds awful.

    It all depends on what you’re looking to get out of this game. A lot of ppl love challenging content like vMA so I wouldn’t call it aweful.

    If you just find it too difficult atm I’m sure it’ll become more appealing to you overtime. Also the first vMA complete feels waaaaay tougher.
