What in your opinion is the easiest world boss to solo from a newbie perspective?

boombazookajd✭✭✭✭✭Asard the Putrid at North Shore Point in Glenumbra was the very first I ever solo'd, somewhere around CP250 though I think.
Probably this guy. This boss is stupid easy. He's slow and his one big attack is a slow conal attack.Drathus Delenu- Dunmer magDk: Shehai Shatterer, Mageslayer, Stormproof, Peak Scaler, Clockwork Confounder, Orderly, Master Wizard, Cloudrest Hero, Undaunted, Dragonstar Arena Champion
Thoronir Rolston- Breton petsorc: Stormproof
Zaakazha-Redguard stamblade: Boethia's Scythe, Clockwork Confounder, Maelstrom Arena Champion, Dragonstar Arena Champion
Scrubs:
Justinius Maximus Decimus- Altmer magblade
Agronak gro'Mashul- Orc DK Tank
Valerya Hawkcroft- Breton healer
Zaaka- Imperial stamDK/crafter

✭✭Agree with Asard the Putrid, he was my first successful solo. There's also a boss at River Edge in Malabal Tor that I think was easy, as well as the boss at Poacher Camp in Grahtwood.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The Dreugh Queen in Stormhaven is usually the first one I try on new characters. Kill the fodder around her first then just dance around and kill her. With good shields or heals you really don't even have to move much.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Short-Tusk in Deshaan.
That is always the first world boss I solo on alts as I am leveling them. Pretty easy boss with telegraphed mechanics that go in a rotation.1 -

I really was surprised at how easy it was when you've got a decent tank setup, but I think I was doing 5-6K DPS so it took soooo freaking long lol
I soloed this one on a tank build just a couple of days ago. It started out as me just using this boss to "kill" me so I could test whether the Eternal Yokeda set would actually help me both stay alive & recover even with no support from a healer. It did. Then after my initial taunting and waiting to let Bittergreen kill me (which I survived thanks to the set) my pride wouldn't let me just sit there while he finished me off, so I just kept fighting him. It turns out that as long as you're tanky enough Bittergreen is surprisingly easy to solo - it just takes a long time with tank levels of DPS.Bittergreen the Wild at Caravan Crest in eastern Deshaan is a good one to check out too, if you're looking to solo world bosses.
I believe it! Bittergreen is a hard solo for most dps specs, but is totally doable. Not exactly noob friendly, though :P
He dishes out some serious damage. I like using him for tank testing on occasion as well. Props for having to patience to wear him down as a tank!

✭✭Don't know if he's the easiest, but one of the most noob-friendly ones that comes to mind is The Abomination in Deshaan.
He has two attacks that might mess you up; One is easy to see coming (and is the standard heavy attack mechanic everyone should familiarize themselves with), which can just be blocked. The other is even easier to see coming and if you step 3 feet left/right/backward it misses you entirely.
His telegraph times are generous. His basic attacks are easily out-healed. And, if I'm remembering correctly, he can even be CC'd. I've sent new players to him in the past when they asked for a good primer to soloing stuff, and they seemed to like it as an introduction.
EDIT, to add :: Furthermore, there are no adds to complicate things. Just you and the dude.
Is that the troll? I never know, but the troll boss is a great challenge for those on the verge of soloing WB. Good starting point. Good to test a bit of your rotation and build last long enough.
Nope, that Dire Bramblepatch you're thinking of. Bittergreen is the badass guar boss.0 -
aaisoaho✭✭✭✭✭Nomeg Hyril, Nilata Falls, Bangkorai. Ice atronach with maybe 2-3 different attacks, frontal cone that hurts somewhat, ice spikes that only slows you down a notch and basic light attack. You can run around him and spam light attack to kill him, because the frontal cone is only thing you should try to avoid.0 -

This one, and probably some of the others, aren't World Bosses, just quest bosses, at a lower level of difficulty. Still, you need to work through these guys to be able to handle a WB.
My latest tank tried to solo Druitularg when he was just collecting set pieces, and didn't have either the skills or equipment for the job. Came close, still, so he should be easy if you're properly prepared.0 -

Incorrect. Grove of the Abomination (and The Abomination himself) are on the map with the skull and crossed swords, and have an achievement to match. I can see why you'd think so, though; he really is that easy. He's a bona fide world boss.

No, the real confusion is that there are two bosses called The Abomination. The other one I was thinking of isn't in Deshaan, and is a flesh atronach.0 -

✭Slaver Camp in Shadowfen pretty simple. You need to avoid her aoes but you can see them in time, a ranged character would be easier I guess.
Plus you get to free slaves

✭✭✭✭✭I was wondering how long it would take till someone posted a troll posting of a hard world boss... seems it didn't take that long >_> I almost thought some of it might find it more challenging to find the easiest of the easiest world bosses. lol to the peps that said the hunger and bittergreen. Although I must admit bittergreen is my favorite world boss.
lol, sorry 0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Netch in stonefalls, can be killed by lvl10 without CP and without much effort. Though he is so weak and slow so netch is useless as training dummy... my favorite is Abomination at Deshaan.. it's easy to kill, but if you are not tank, you need to be concentrated and rotate your heals, resources and blocks properly.0
