Just wondering if vsf heroway or any method of solo VSF is still possible. Also, are there still pug VSFs? I don't see any at all. Any insights would be delightful ty in advance.

fyi, hope i posted in the right section XD

Solo?

Well if you are a top-flight perma, and can micro well, yes it is possible.

Much easier to team up with a buddy however if possible along with your heroes.

As to you question, yes there are pugs, but most of the 1st rate permas run invite only teams these days, since even though VSF is simple, there is always some nub who slows things up.

Incidentally given pugs can be a pain it is hard to get nice sub 4 min runs, with heroes you can clear far quicker, however you want to take mesmers in preference to ROJ. The permas I run with no longer bother with ROJ at all, mesmers are much faster.

Oh on a side note, I have seen 4 VS drop (all q11 or higher) in the last 900 runs, so if you do the math on that it isn't much of a money spinner: fun of course.

Ah I see thank you. I had seen online heroway videos and thought VSF might sound interesting but was looking for a solo build instead of duoing like most videos i saw. I had thought that VSF would be a good money spinner but apparently I was wrong XD. I had hoped there would be better alternatives to plains farming and all the speed clears that can generate a constant flow of money at a fast pace :P. Guess i'll just do feather and the stuff, thank you for the replies.

I used to do it solo about once a day for awhile. It takes a lot of practice unless you are already good at microing your heroes. I never got anything good and for me the pain to micro just wasn't worth the trouble anymore. If you really want to do it I say just join some groups but you can do it solo if you want. It was fun to try.

Back before the perma nerf I did some solo runs (me as perma) with heroes. It didn't really require much micro-managing - I just flagged the heroes back by the wall while I ran around, and then unflagged them when I got there. Targeting helped, of course, especially when it came to taking out the Warders. I don't recall exactly what heroes I used though, or what specific builds I used. I do recall though that, with a hero BiP it did take longer.
I also did many runs with 1 or 2 guildies plus heroes.
