Can I solo normal dragonstar arena? (CP810 magblade)

I wanted to get the master's staff, but don't have time to find a group of players that I can do it with consistently. So I was hoping I could solo it on normal mode on my magblade. I'd call myself a relatively good player.
Is it doable? or am I crazy?

✭✭✭✭✭I’ve done it as a duo a few times, and think it would be doable solo. It’s going to be tough in some rounds. I’m thinking where you have to go into the hole and kill the Jonnicent and the one where you have to kill the sacrifices. And the round with the stranglers will be really annoying solo.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche1 -

Yes, but the sacrifices are not that scary in normal, and don't think you have to go downstairs in normal either.I’ve done it as a duo a few times, and think it would be doable solo.

I say its an normal dlc. However its not so hard getting people for an nDSA run in primetime and you get 4x the drops.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.5 -

✭✭I soloed to stage 7 boss fight where I died couple times and felt exhausted (it was late evening) so I invited some guild people to finish this. I plan to try again with companion after next chapter release

✭✭I’ve done it solo on a Stamblade so I’d say it would be very doable on a Magblade if you’re experienced enough.2 -
erio✭✭✭✭✭I soloed it before pale order at like 600 cp on a stamblade in trash gear. You can do itEdited by erio on February 26, 2021 10:35PM2

✭✭Even i did it on my Stam.DK.
The hardest part for me was burning the end boss quickly enough so the adds don't get involved.
Had a go at normal Black Rose Prison but that is well beyond my skill.Edited by goldenarcher1 on February 27, 2021 12:01AM0 -
Indigogo✭✭✭✭✭My pvp stam DK bud had been soloing this lately. Very doable, but also tedious af.Edited by Indigogo on February 27, 2021 10:06PM1 -

✭✭Easily soloable. I've done it with many times with magden and stamdk. On normal it's just burn everything, no mechanics to worry at all. Last boss may give some trouble but if you got the dps and survivability it's not bad. I've done it before the ring of pale order and now its even easier.1 -

Blackrose Prison is notably tougher on normal than DSA?
(Genuine question; I've never done either.)1 -

nBRP is easy with a group but way tougher to solo than DSA. I tried to solo when it came out and I couldn't. Haven't tried now with the ring.2 -

✭Most of it is doable. The sacrifices stage is tricky as well as the last boss.
I tried this on my magsorc and couldn't get past the sacrifices stage, too much incoming damage in the boss round.x-TallyCat-x // PC EU DC - For the Covenant! // ESO Platinum trophy - 16th May 2017.

Got one shotted a few times off the first BRP boss in arena 1 even with chudan equipped which tells me its a no go for me.

Back in old days, you had to do it on vet to get weapon...
As for normal, it can be done alone, but make sure to farm it before the 8th of March. Last boss is very annoying even now when we still have CP power, cause every health percentage two more bosses spawn. Near the execute you have main boss + 4 bosses all hard hitting you.Blackrose Prison is notably tougher on normal than DSA?

I personally would never go there alone, even with CP power
When my friend still played ESO, we went there as two dds... First round, few wipes. So my friend had to spec as tank and taunt some of adds and all bosses - only like that we could finish the whole arena.

WaywardArgonian✭✭✭✭✭Doable, but I'd still advice trying to find people to run it with. Not only will each run take considerably less time, but you'd also have 4 shots at getting the item you want instead of 1.PC/EU altaholic | #1 PVP support player (contested) | @ degonyte in-game | Nibani Ilath-Pal (AD Nightblade) - AvA rank 50 | Jehanne Teymour (AD Sorcerer) - AvA rank 50 | Niria Ilath-Pal (AD Templar) - AvA rank 501 -

You can fairly easily.. But just go to crag and zone message for people or ask in guilds.... It's super easy anyone can do it and bringing four gives more chances at weapons and trades for what you want... Any random four people can do it as fast as the trial allows(which unfortunately is painfully slow)0 -

✭✭✭I have done it on stamcro and stamsorc PvP builds... Definitely doable. Pale order ring should.make it even easier 👍0 -
Vanya✭✭✭✭✭Nobody regardless of class build,buffs,Champion points etc should be able to solo a group based dungeon or Arena in particular. I was shocked I personally soloed on my newbie Sorcerer 7 Vanilla dungeons from level 28-40 ,Maelstorm arena as level 38 and almost Hollows but one boss gives me trouble for now. I have 226 Champion Points.
There should be certain mechanics preventing players,also rewards obtainable to get 4 pieces of excellent set in one clear.
There is no logic when a solo player beats group based dungeon in primarily Multiplayer game,but of course times have changed.
That is what happens when you nerf MMO over years. I would say yes you can for sure to Original Poster.
While I do enjoy carving though endless foes and feeling satisfaction of completing some dungeon tis ultimately very tedious and draining. Not that I enjoy so much anymore.
ESO difficulty should have been as it was pre Tamriel unlimited with Craglorn style zones one you are at level maximum.Craglorn was the only true end game region ,everything post was scaled and you had players soloing anything almost except certain world bosses.
There is no meaning of group or solo no more with exception of Trial.Edited by Vanya on February 27, 2021 5:02PM0 -

I don't think you can beat round 8 as if you do the mechanic alone the boss/round resets. Round difficulty wise you could easily beat it, the question is if you can do this mechanic solo.Legions of Mordor Core

Which mechanic? I have solo'd on normal twice and can't remember thinking about any of it... I could be wrong though, it was a while a go...0 -

No, just no. This is so horribly wrong and goes against player's freedom.Nobody regardless of class build,buffs,Champion points etc should be able to solo a group based dungeon or Arena in particular.
I vote for making "you shouldn't be able to" a bannable phrase.
Duo-ed it on normal more than I'd like to and didn't notice any mechanics that would prevent me from soloing. I can imagine round 9 skeleton holes be a problem, but 8th?SgtNuttzmeg wrote: »MrDenimChicken wrote: »I wanted to get the master's staff, but don't have time to find a group of players that I can do it with consistently.

✭✭✭✭✭General rule about normal content is that if there is no mechanic there that is catching 1 player and requires for other player to save 1st one then You can solo it. And even that general rule can be bypassed by things like Precognition ability or proper positioning when it's possible.Edited by Juhasow on February 27, 2021 6:10PM1 -

There is massive incredible amount of freedom without even including any group based content. Group based content should remain group based. Period. Mayhaps let us then make every Trial solo-able? Hm You are taking it too far. I have a right to say my opinion, yes we should not be able to solo group-based dungeons It defies all logic,sorry. Ironically you speak about freedom ,yet you state "you shouldn't be able to" a bannable phrase" Basically stripping off my freedom to voice an opinion. You should know that not every player will agree on something does not mean it has to be " a bannable phrase"

✭If the mechanics allow you to not have to go down for the next to last stage then yeah, it should be solable in Normal mode. I'm all for soloing group content! Lot's of fun and challenging.Edited by JanTanhide on February 27, 2021 6:11PM1 -

✭✭✭Yes, you can absolutely solo it! The final boss can get a little hairy. Focus him down, don't waste resources fighting the additional bosses. Tab targeting helps. (On PS4, it's holding down R3 over the boss, idk about other platforms.)Nobody regardless of class build,buffs,Champion points etc should be able to solo a group based dungeon or Arena in particular.

I do what I want.
Also, it's this kind of thinking that leads to the overall dumbening of encounters. If they can't prevent me from soloing something without a gimmicky gotcha insta-gib mechanic I'm...unimpressed. Creative encounters or bust.
