So are the tier 1 dungeons solo? I tried to do a my first pledge and it went fine until I got the boss. I have 490 cp and epic gear sets and I couldn't even hurt the guy. Is there something I missed?

    Dungeons are for groups of four players, but some players can in fact solo all kinds of dungeons.

    I've found vet bosses to be real hp sponges. But normal dungeons are nice if you want to do the quest solo and take your time.

    With one or two exceptions that have mechanics that are impossible for one player.

    I've started doing some of the base game I dungeons on one of my characters who hasn't done the quests yet because I really want to experience the dungeon and story at my own pace. I'm by no means an elite player, but I do typically build my characters to be capable of soloing most world bosses and if you can do that you can do these dungeons solo. It has been a really great experience so far and it makes me wish more than ever that there was a solo dungeon mode.

    Most of dungeons can be done solo on normal, tier 1 and 2 (tier 2 and some normal DLC are not something I would call enjoyable). Others have mechanics that require more than 1 player, unfortunately :/

    Experience...
    This is good advice:

    Please, add ability to use all new idle animations on every mount!

    Please, fix the bugged lights! They ruin visuals of environment and mounts.

    IIRC only Direfrost Keep is truly nonsoloable now (out of the tier 1 basegame dungeons).
    It used to be soloable by using faulty room geometry to activate a lever from the wrong side of a door, but that was "fixed" a few months ago for no real reason.

    Blackheart Haven is special, it requires a specific gear setup and specific strat to survive the final boss fight - but yes, it is nonetheless soloable.

    Most of the tier 2 basegame dungeons are soloable too, only a few of those have mechanics which make soloing very difficult or impossible.

    Can you please elaborate? I found soloing vet dungeons to be really fun so I managed to close all tier 1 except direfrost keep and blackheart haven. I can survive boss attacks at latter one but as soon as I stop being skelly - he turns me back into one immediately.

    My original thread about soloing Blackheart Haven

    Some of the things in the abovementioned thread have since been changed/nerfed - in particular, the "RotH + potion of hindrance" trick no longer works at all, and potions of lingering health are equally useless for this purpose as well.
    But the overall premise remains unchanged, and the optimal set loadout is still the same.

    Due to those nerfs, soloing it on vet might be impossible now (only a guess - haven't actually tried it since), but normal should still be very much doable.
    EDIT: Oops, I forgot that the optimal strat was only slightly affected by the nerfs, so vet should still be doable now.
