Witch elf Solobitz1

Thx again for providing content for this game, but from your experience, could you give us some insight into, what does the solo/small scale looks like now on rvr? Did the recent tank/heal changes rocked the meta envoierment?

Heya, this is kinda hard question, but i do my best and hopefully hit some of the things you want to hear. Please so comment/ask more if you need specific details..


Healer changes made zealot near impossible to fight against with most of my toons. The dmg outout combined with sustain of double detaunt just means that you would need to have 20kish burst to get it down before you die. Ofc this is in perspective of dps specs. RP seems to be more manageable, ofc i fight them with BiS magus which is far stronger than most other solo characters i have.

Pet classes are now nastier than ever, as you cannot avoid the pets really. You either detaunt or try to kill them fast.

Against WL you can spec in high parry and riposte kills the lion for you. Against SH you just try to catch the gobbo and maybe kill the spiked squig to remove the AA.

Snb tank cancer seems to be fading. Still some around but not that many.

There also is a huge difference on which side you play. Order mostly soloes with am/wh/wl with occasional wp and then there are the wh groups, and am/sw kitegroups chasing destro soloers around.

If you play order you have tons of shaman/squig groups, and WE parties ganking you, but you get to fight against more different classes.

All in all if you like to solo i highly recommend having lots of toons on both sides and just play whatever fits in the lakes at that moment.

What about WP/Doks Did they disappered? especialy WP i think had big solo population for order. Also in terms ofregen tanks i think only Chosen remains, dont see much og BGs or BO anymore, and IB is dead since removal of Grumble & Mutter.

There are very few soloroaming wp/DoK player. Most are running with groups now. I think range meta and amount of rdps gank groups/soloers at lakes is super rough for them,and we/wh can just leave the combat if they fail opener. But dont play one myself so not 100%sure.

WE/WH are the only classes having all in one: offensive and defensive capability to fight any classe, viable escape mechanism, and what's most important - a couple of viable builds. IMHO all other classes lack at least one of the first two, and are gutted when it comes to choice of builds. I run mostly solo on order, and while I use variety of classes, on order I see solo basically only WHs, WLs (althought not that many) and occasionally some slayers. On the destro side usually I face WEs and SHs. Which means I die a lot because there's no order class able to comfortably fight those, unless you jump on them by surprise (and WEs anyway can easly run away). So comparing to the state we had even only 1 year ago, I'd say the solo scene is almost dead.

its never been good, but it is in tough spot now.
Sometimes i just come and check the zones, and if its full primetime zerg i either log to play something else, or do guild shenanigans. I just try no to get too tired to the game and play whatever suits me at the time. Now i think Engineer in AA spec is my all time favourite, even tho it is very easily countered by many classes. Magus is safe class to fight almost everything other than AM and current state of WL. Choppa and Slayer are fun when you feel like playing HC mode, but you will need unlimited patience as you will be in warcamp about every 3 mins. This WE i like too, but only as this full on assault ganker using all the utility to score the kill rather than playing it safe. I dont have patience for stalking and looking for safe kills.
