Hardest PVE content you have soloed?

Yzalirk✭✭✭✭I know this will sound incredibly stupid but those turret things in the Clockwork City for the Morrowind storyline where you are going to fight Barbas killed me a few times.2 -

@Wrecking_Blow_Spam yeah I did. This thread was about the *hardest* I’ve soloed though and the Mantikora wasn’t too bad imo.
I wish I could add Zaan HM to this list but after three attempts of like 90min each I’ve failed, and not renewing my ESO+ tomorrow just for the DLC pack
Also in terms of normal trial bosses I beat, l’d say the list would go like: Zhaj’hassa > Ra Kotu = Mantikora > Lightning Storm AtronachEdited by Vaoh on April 6, 2018 4:23AM2 -

✭@Vaoh thanks for insight, I remember the post of mantikora I just assumed it would be more difficult than vet velidreth or Planar. You crazy for soloing them, makes me laugh all the posts saying of vma (which can be done naked
) compared to your crazy feats.
I can imagine vet velidreth being a massive pain solo, and zaahn HM? So that mean you can solo it on veteran non HM? I assumed that'd be very difficult especially the fire beam part.
If you did manage to solo on HM that's ridiculous.
You manage to solo the full thing or do you go in a team to test it? Wouldn't the ogres at start and gargoyle be very difficult on solo?

First thing I do is solo it on Normal. Its always really easy that way, so if I can't do it then I won't bother with Vet.
I soloed the full Vet Scalecaller dungeon pretty soon after launch. It was my 4th complete of the dungeon lol.
The ogre twins boss was easy
Gargoyle boss was not too tough but very boring as Magicka..... I had to kite the whole time. As Stamina I could just tank the boss upfront.
Matriarch boss pretty easy. I found out midway through fighting this boss that if I was far enough from the adds, hey wouldn't CC me.
4th boss super annoying since 10mil health... and when I beat it I didn't even know the full menchincs so was a 15min+ fight ._.
5th boss pretty difficult. Zaan's beam is breakable in a few different ways. I would've beaten HM by now but there is the rng of stacking mechanics, so the very few attempts I did everything perfect, I still got rekt. Best attempt was 38%
Overall it was an easier dungeon to solo (for both Normal and Vet) than vCoS, vWGT, or vICP.7 -

Wow thanks for insight, mind saying which class you solo on? It must be mag pet sorc right?
Reason I thought ogre boss be hard is the melee guy hits like a truck, I assumed to tank that even with hardened ward and harness it'd kill you. But I realised you probably got pet to tank?
You mention soloing as stamina the gargoyle boss, I don't intend to do this but I just assume soloing would be very difficult as stamina with all agro on you.
Anyway props on you man, that dungeon is hard enough with 4 people, soloing it is impressiveXbox one EU

I just walk in a big circle and dodge the ogre boss heavy attacks.

I gotta say, the whole "mag pet sorc is #1 solo class" and "stamina is terrible solo" vibe that has gone on for awhile is not really true. It was definitely the case at a time but it's totally not anymore.
Pets no longer tank bosses. That hasn't been the case for like a year or so. Idk exactly when but it was a ninja nerf unlisted on patch notes that happened a long time ago..... which is the sole reason I never got to solo The Warrior.
Mag/Stam Sorcerer, Mag/Stam NB, and Stamina Warden are the best solo specs imo.Stamina has increased survivability and can stack extra health to allow powerful HoTs to make them basically invincible - any hard-hitting attack is easily dodged. Stam is actually very strong solo (Rend is incredible). Magicka you shield through anything that might kill you, but you lose DPS when shield spamming. Their main benefit is ranged DPS.
I soloed bosses 1, 2, 3, and 5 on non-pet Mag Sorc, which has been my main since launch. For fourth boss I did use a pet, but it legit did nothing to help me vs non-pet and if anything hurt me in the long run - I only slotted it because I felt like using a pet at the time. The whole dungeon would’ve been *much* easier as a Mag NB or any Stam class
Anyway I recommend giving it a try yourself if bored. I find this stuff super fun at least lol Edited by Vaoh on April 6, 2018 9:55AM4 -

I don't think they was so hard, and i'm an scrub and was far worse back then, no chance on vMA.Moloch1514 wrote: »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).
Doshia was mostly mechanics, killing the balls. Was sorcerer with clanfear so easy mode.
Think I killed Mannimarco doing LA with resto staff
Got into the fight and got some problems with bar swap or something so I just self healed and poked him took forever.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

✭✭Do you mean now or back in the day, 3 or 4 years ago when it was actually hard to solo bosses. Both Doshia and Malog Bal were pretty damn tough when the game first started. Now, that gaur Bitterroot is the hardest thing I can think of that I soloed.Edited by starlizard70ub17_ESO on April 6, 2018 12:19PM"We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."0 -

Orticia✭✭✭✭A few of the easier worldbosses and a group delve in craglorn (excluding that skellly boss you can summon with an item at it's altar, gave up after he killed me 5 times over).
Ok probably easy stuff for most who posted in this tread but it is the best I done so far. But seeing my gear and skill level (slowly getting better) I am so far pretty pleased with it. Got a lot to learn still. Done with a 500 cp mag sorc with Julianos, willpower jewelry, and ilambris monster set and with a clannfear tanking.Edited by Orticia on April 6, 2018 12:40PM0 -
