Return to TopGeneral principlesOverview of soloing

Soloing easy dungeons or raids for profit is fun, extreme soloing is even more fun!

The soloing community is spread out, but you can still contribute.

When soloing, analyzing the mechanics is key. Timings, combos and trigger conditions are usually more complex then they seem at first glance.

Soloing is a mix of survival and damage.

Making use of every tool you have including talents, gear, consumables, azerite and more is the key to getting a kill.

BerserkWhat has changed in BFA

Pets have changed a lot mechanically, I believe for the better

Pets have better aggro and regen, at the tradeoff of health - their survival is up against low/moderate damage but they are far more fragile against high incoming damage

Azerite has replaced legendaries, but during solo the two systems have a lot in common

Pet and self healing are no longer only affected by your total health, but by your ilvl/attack power/damage too

Comparatively, Legion is harder to solo now than WoD was in Legion, and Mythic dungeons are way harder this expansion than in Legion

Other than that consumables, talents and other details have changed

Due to the way leech works, talents that increase pet damage or hunter damage can also affect their survival

The more you fill your action bar, the more you risk delaying casts if you need to weave in mend pet in the rotation

Comment

Usual powers

default powers for soloing

Impassive Visage

1,75

yes

BiS - heals the most and can crit. Nearly every high-damage fight has regular damage

Duck and Cover

1,68

Powerful shield but puts feign death on cooldown. The cooldown reduction has niche uses.

Resounding Protection

1,00

No weaknesses or conditions. Absorbs can have niche uses.

Self Reliance

0,93

yes

Forces positioning. Neutrals and critters deactivate the aura. Not recommended but decent if it works.

Niche powers

can be powerful but difficult to proc (/p = per proc per 30s)

Vampiric Speed

0,5/p

yes

can be worth it when there are many adds

Azerite Fortification

1,19/p

yes

heavy CC fights are rare out of pvp, but the heal is powerful

ENG powers

powerful but limited by the low ilvl of the goggles

Personal Absorb-o-Tron

1,50

powerful but proc timing can be wonky

Auto-Self-Cauterizer

0,93

yes

bleed removal may have niche use

Other powers

1,64

Hard to trigger

Shellshock

0,22

n/a

Don't. Even as burst healing it is bad.

Longstrider

n/a

No defensive value

Gemhide

n/a

Hard to calculate value, not worth it even in best conditions.

Filthy Transfusion

0,63

n/a

Ring 3 example of decent offensive power

Comment by iloverexxar

Hey thanks so much for this guide, I was wondering if you could update it? because the information about what has been soloed, the ilvl's and stuff all seem too out of date. Also I would very much appreciate an updated racials section for all the races + allied races. You should go into details and pros and cons of each one in a table or something, (doing the math etc). Thanks again.
