Missed out on the second half of SL, only came back 5 months ago after a 2 year long hiatus… decided to give the dungeon a try…
And, yeah… good job having a boss that requires 5 people to remove its 99% damage buff! Was enjoying the dungeon till I came to this nonsense of a final boss to ruin the experience…
Wish Blizzard had the damn decency of removing such mechanics to make old content solo friendly…
I didn’t do that dungeon in SL either and decided to go and and see it and get the mount and achievements. Took me 40 minutes to kill that boss with that darn 99%.
I liked the dungeon until that point… but I’ll never go back, still having nightmares!
Two people probably, not five. But you still can solo kill Soleah even with 99% damage reduction. It will take you twenty or so minutes. Just set up a nice soundtrack in the background or turn on some movie on your second display, and get it on.
Doesn’t mean I disagree with the overall statement and that Blizzard shouldn’t make this boss more solo friendly, of course.
tried once. after 10 mins i gave up. i prefer to fish in dalaran fountain. I hope they’ll change requirement cuz isnt bad as instance
Which one? 
the last one: so’leah
I did it at the beginning of Dragonflight and it took me more than 40 minutes. Now I do it weekly and it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes, so it gets better.
But I do agree, they should change it.
But I remember soloing it the shield with my prot paladin… going behind the beams and heal myself… we timed a +21 because I saved the key… maybe a non heal char might struggle though, I don’t know what’s difficult now…
Issue isn’t difficulty, it’s the fact it takes freakin’ forever due to the 99% damage reduction that’s permanently up…
If only there were some way to do this! Oh wait, you could kill it with other ppl.
NEVAH! in a MMORPG?
Ah yes, let me just do random old content at 4am where other people are readily available to do them with when literally every other dungeon boss can be done solo without issue …
We are the ones who farmed an ugly worm mount in Plaguelands Mythic solo both third and last boss when it was current content and we survived. A simple shield on a leisure boss is not a big deal.
Ask Eonar what a truly hellish solo fight can be.
it’s a great dungeon . SL is still not legacy content , you can’t even solo some bfa raids atm so that’s the problem here.
Solo took me about 15 minutes to kill with that 99% damage reduction.
Sethraliss still isn’t really soloable by classes that can’t heal.
But you can solo it in 10 minutes by spamming Crucible of Flame on cooldown
Not exactly a riveting experience.
Point is group content isn’t optimized around soloing it. Sure they might adjust it eventually but not even a full expansion has passed since it was current.
As well as the forum topic it might be worth doing a suggestion in game.
It would be nice if they revisited old content sooner to think of the solo-ing aspect.
But you can still remove the debuff if you have dead team mates (from what I recall). It just takes longer because you have to position yourself relative to their corpses. (I might have even been in a key that you finished solo.)
15? wow after 10 i was at 90%
