I want make all Domain of Anguish quests by myself, the max team is 4, myself + 3 heroes, no? I know DoA is hard enough for 8 people team, but I still think is possible.

I read here in this forum about people soloing (farming) some "parts" of DoA, not doing all quests.

So, any idea? At the moment, the only profession I have access to DoA is a Elementalist.

The idea of this post if for people post a 4 people team capable of make all DoA quests, also doable with 1 person + 3 heroes.

If it wasn't for the AoE nerf people would be running 2-3 man teams with a 600hp SoA monk like it wasn't funny... right now the only thing seeing the light of day there is the 105-135hp famine builds.

You mean is IMPOSSIBLE make it with 1 man + 3 heroes?

Currently: Yes, You'd be lucky to make it with 5 people and 3 heroes.
Though this could change when A-net looks the other way for about.... 3 seconds.

I don't think "luck" is involved here, but skill of players. DoA is just full of .... high level monsters, as far as I know.

have you actually been in there even if the rest is possible the more balanced groups in foundry and city would cause problems for a solo build also mallyx would be impossible to solo

Before i say any thing, a question...
What is the point of soloing DoA?
Your drop rate is not increasing,
your time spending is going to hit the roof.

It is just not worth the time and effort, that is all.
And no, DoA is not possible with You and 3 heros. Heros can't use candies, unless your willing to sacrifice rainbow candies.

Soloing whole DoA is impossible because: you encounter a lot of different monsters, all with different strengths and weaknesses.
Soloing some parts is just possible due to exploits of certain bugs or just a good build vs certain enemies.

For example, if you want to solo Torment creatures, you will need to do something about Call of Torment. Any AoE that is not as strong as 'Base Defend' will be useless and in fact only make your situation FAR WORSE. So you will need a skillset that can whack a Torment creature and not his surrounding friends and kill it fast enough before it finishes CoT. Good luck doing that solo.

But I guess its not impossible, will only took a long time for ppl to find some nice build. Look at the Tombs solo assasins for instance. (no im not gonna tell you where to find the build, if you are stupid enough not to be able to find stuff on the forums, you are not worth using other people's builds)

And above poster is making a very good point; green drops and gemstone drops from chests will not increase, since they are tied to the player that opens it. Though this does not include the rarely dropping gemstones from monsters. But killing them with a team would be far faster anyway, and that increases your accumulated chance of gemstone drops again.

Soloing Tombs takes 6 hrs apposed to a good team doing it within 1 hr. Now, if a good team takes 5 hrs to complete whole DoA, it would take doing it solo (if it was possible) probably 30+ hrs...

Have fun!
