Title. Just curious your guys opinions as we discussed this last night in guild… can be Normal, Heroic or Mythic, all 3.
No spec can solo all BFA raids (on Normal or above); they all have mechanics that make it impossible.
You can solo SOME bosses…but definitely not all bosses. It’s probably the same for SLs too, but I haven’t really looked into it.

Most of it isn’t about what you can or can’t dps down, it boils down to mechanics you couldn’t solo even if you had a 600 ilvl.

My Fury Warrior is 466 and can solo BFA raids expect for mechanics that prevent it. I can solo a good portion of SL raids on LFR and normal mode. I have done a few on heroic, but that’s a bit more hit and miss for me atm.
Pretty easily 2 manned normal seplucher from shadowlands with a boomy and unholy dk, do able with just 1 but a little slow. Problem is gear isnt set to legacy so we only got 1/no drops from the bosses making it really slow to farm, better off witha full raid so there’s more gear dropping in SL.
BFA uldir is soloable by anything til ghuun cause you need multiple to run orbs. BDA will get you stuck at jadefire cause you need to run orbs, similarly in nyalotha with the gauntlet boss before nzoth.

How did you get past Mythrax’s mind control? That’s always been my stopping point because the boss kept resetting.

I’ve solod all of eternal palace on heroic and mythic
So that one’s doable for some classes
Certain specs can solo G’huun as well. I watched a friend do it as a windwalker monk. This isn’t viable for mythic as the orbs need to be deposited simultaneously, but should work for all other difficulties.
Barring that, you can actually kill G’huun while he’s still in the wall as well, provided you can outdamage his 10%/sec healing. Which should be doable if you’re able to even solo Mythrax to get to him.
Never tried to solo it higher then normal past zul but yah ghuun make sense if you can pull some insane burst.
It think for mythrax he just got bursted so fast and maybe it was the passive pet summons for boomy that kept him aggroed to finish him off. Fae dragons do weird things to bosses.
As for OP i think all of them would be doable witha group of 3 through heroic, shadowlands gear is still set to scale personal loot style so you need atleast 5 players to garuntee any gear drops to begin with so youre better off grabbing some friends or putting up a group posting if youre trying to farm mog.
Depends on the raid.
In Uldir, G’huun is completely impossible for all classes as far as I know and I think it was Zul(?) Has a mind control mechanic that makes you jump off the cliff
For Battle of Dazar’alor Terrace of the Chosen is impossible unless you can block Chosen of Akunda’s Mind Wipe mechanic. a Mage (ice block) Paladin (bubble) or Warlock (imp dispell) can all get around the debuff and kill the boss (I recommend warlock so your imp can keep the bosses separate) but Rastakhan will 1 shot you on his transition to phase 3 since no one is in the dead realm
But I think the rest of BFA raids are Soloable.
Castle Nathria is impossible for all but warriors (Ignore pain) thanks to Hungering Destroyer’s heal block mechanic, but warriors can’t heal Kael’thas (you could however get a healing class alt to join your Warr’s party via group finder, and do Kael’thas on the 2nd character)
I have not tried to solo Sanctum of Domination, but I suspect Fatescribe would be an issue unless maybe if you’re a very mobile class.
Sepulcher of the First ones would be impossible thanks to Mal’ganis’ self healing from Leeching claws, and the enrage timer. The Jailer also has the Zul mechanic that makes you jump off the edge, and Martyrdom could be an issue for a more squishy class like Mage or Hunter
Zul, Rastakhan, and Mal’ganis might be possible with high enough dps, but I don’t know how much damage the average ilvl 470 does, or exactly how much damage you’d need.
As far as bosses without insta-wipe mechanics, I recall handling them on normal and heroic at 425 ilvl. Haven’t tried mythic too much so I can’t comment on that. Zul’s mind control can be avoided with enough DPS - the key was to save cooldowns until, if I recall, about 40%.
Shadowlands… basically the same. But I’m a fury warrior so the self-sustain from Bloodthirst is likely a large part of it.
while we are here, are there any BFA dungeons that cannot be soloed at 70 at this point?
do BFA dungeons have Legacy Loot Mechanics added yet?
BfA instances have legacy loot, yes. I can’t remember when it was implemented though!
As others have said, Mythrax on any difficulty, but I’ve also not seen anyone mention Jaina on mythic. You need like 6 people for that with her mechanics. We tried with 4 and couldn’t do it.
There are some from Legion that really need some attention outside of LFR, too. Aeonar on mythic is impossible for some classes, and if you can’t do the mechanics on Kil’Jaeden or cheese them, you’ll get stuck there, too.
I’ve done some BFA on my paladin, but I didn’t really have any interest in doing much just yet. Until SL raids are on legacy loot, there’s no point doing those unless you just want the achievements before then.
I don’t really consider a boss soloable until every class is able to do it on at least one spec without having to cheese the mechanics, because not everyone will have the skill or patience to do that. It’s cool if you can do it, though.

How are people getting passed mythrax MC orbs? The old rock exploit doesn’t work.
Mythic SL raids aren’t really soloable yet by any class
As a ret pally i solo’d all of Castle Nathria on Mythic over 2 months ago, after i got the lego i had enough dmg.
The toughest fights were: Hungering Destroyer and Kael’thas.
Hungering is going to get much easier next season, this one was pretty close, had about 2k health left. :))

Damn, that’s impressive.
but you only got like 1 or 0 items for loot per boss?
You get the 4 items as if a raid defeats them on mythic, always.
Good to know, wasn’t sure if pali would be able to get past destroyer with out being able to heal themselves
