I want to do the Glory achievements in the BFA dungeons. In previous expansions I’d have done most of them by now (with tricky or unsoloable ones needing more time).
I haven’t tried for a while but when I dinged 60 I went to Freehold as it was a dungeon I hadn’t seen and want to try it. The trash just inside the door destroyed me. I hadn’t seen such pwning since my small friends & family guild in TBC heard about Heroic dungeons and with no dedicated tank (just someone in plate with a shield) we left a pile of bones just inside the instance.
I don’t need / want ways to sneak past trash with invisibility potions or secret routes hopping on railings or any other fineky tricks. I simply want to go and kill the trash, smash the bosses and do whatever they want for the achieves like how we used to be able to.

As far as I know, we haven’t seen any updates regarding BFA content. They just mentioned the Legion soloing and some bosses.
I haven’t seen any reports from PTR / youtubers / streamers yet aswell, so I’m guessing they haven’t touched it so far.
I could solo Nighthold during BfA without problems on both, normal and heroic. Dungeons anyway, even on mythic. Oldschool level cap yes, but please synchronise it with pre expansion dungeon and raid difficulty.
Thanks.
Was hoping a legacy buff or something would have been added.
There are a couple of dungeons in Legion that require full party for the glory achievement. Poor unfortunate souls for example.

I was not referring to the achievement in particular but the fact that you can’t even solo plain BfA dungeons on a certain difficulty at the moment. Not to speak of BfA raids.

I’m fine with Raid from the previous expac still needing a small group to do. But dungeons from the previous expac should be roflstomped by quest greens on a fresh dinged max level.
Legion Raids should be very soloable for 60s now but I read that they aren’t that easy. Not tried myself yet.

What ilvl are you on the characters? It is pretty easy on a DH at 220 (I do Freehold for the mount) on 4 of them a week (my BM Hunter 217 joins in too). It is harder on some classes I would admit.
Mythic Nighthold is now completely doable as a DH at that level (was before bar Gul’dan but even on my weakest DH 221 ilvl I can down Illidan with over 50% HP left).
I still cannot solo Antorus though (Aggramar is too much for me)
I’m afraid I’m nae terribly well geared. This is my only max level and I’m only 211 (mostly Korthian gear).
Nighthold is fine except maybe Gul’Dan / Illidan in mythic I think. Tomb of Sargeras of course gives you the meh at Fallen Avatar but otherwise can be soloed. What’s really annoying solo are Eonar and the Coven of Shivarra in Antorus.
I’ve no idea what you goals are are how you want to play but you could push your ilvl up a bit really easily (with a little gold).
- Buy a 230 item (they are a few k now).
- Up the ilvl of the legendary (again 235 pieces are not that expensive).
- Farm Korthia to upgrade gear.
- Last two LFR bosses give 220
I’m sure you know this though and it depends on what you want to do with your time
I don’t know about Ele buy my Enhancement Shammy can solo the final Freehold boss now at 213 (I need to use an invis pot to get there however).
ilvl makes a massive difference and just going from 210 to 220 is a huge increase. The domination shards really help too (I’ve not bothered with them on alts though)
Mostly it’s Glory achievements. Just for the fun of soloing them really. I have the Legion raid ones though, thanks to the community for organising Achievement nights. Community is quieter now though, haven’t seen any BFA achievement nights mentioned.
I was collecting transmogs and did up to MOP before we got scaled down and I lost enthusiasm for that. I’ll start again at some stage and do WOD onwards.
I reckon you are talking about scared of dungeons? Its mostly due to elwing and fangbang stopped playing wow, and extraderpy who hosted alot of the raid achievment runs with fang has enough to do with her own guild raids and keygroup i think.
Maybe you can ask in the community if anyone would be interested in doing some glory runs for dungeons and raids? I myself dont really have any spare time to organize stuff in SoD atm.

I might arrange something like this at some point. I’ll need to do some reading before I do so I know what’s going on.

Could be somone else would be interested in organizing aswell if they know ppl wants to get it done 
Yeah, well the scaling is really bad at the moment, can’t argue with that. They messed up big time.
On the other hand though, what are you interested in? If it’s achievments, you will have easier time doing it with 4 other people, since the reward is ‘shared’ anyways. It’s still very much doable with 5 dps for example, it’s not needed to bring 1 1 3 comp. 3 manning could also work for majority of them.
If you’re after the mounts, keep in mind that all of these are personal loot and not legacy loot yet. This means that when you loot the boss, you have a 0.8 % to loot the mount, as well as other 4 players in your group. In theory, all 5 could receive the mount if you hit that sweet 0.8% spot (highly unlikely in practice though), so you basically have no competition and noone to roll against (Shackled Urzul for example, Nighthold mounts).
I like soloing the dungeons and trying to figure out how to do the achievements. Some need pets, some need tanks, some need simple burst. I enjoy reading wowhead and attempting them with various alts. Some were trickier than other and some I needed to recruit some help.
It’s just an activity I enjoyed in previous expansions that has been denied me in this expansion. A bit like how I used to enjoy professions but don’t really any more (and I’m not entirely sure why the shine is gone from professions, too many mats or skill ranks or recipes being locked in dungeons, not sure).

They are yet to fix even Legion raids properly. I mean, they blabbered something about doing that but nearly nothing is fixed so far.
And for BFA content they have nothing even in the plans as far as we can see. It’s not just instances / raids either, it’s also various Mechagon rares, etc.
Great dev team. Have 100 problems, fix 10, stall the fixes for months until 9.1 timegates expire.
I kinda don’t care about bfa atm but the thing is my dh could solo m0s during 8.3 and now he can’t

It makes no sense whatsoever if the mobs in a dungeon / raid are grey and you still can’t solo it.
