Decided to try to mount farm in this LFR and so far it is beyond toxic.
Mechatorque fight will kill you if you get caught by more than a few bots.
The next fight if you miss the siren your dead and then it often bugs with the boss failing to move to the docks and insta killing you.
Then there’s Lady Proudmoore. Only had it transition out of the storm once. 90% of the time you will get iceblocked and killed especially on melee character because it is impossible to not get hit yet still be in range.
Searching the forums, wowhead, and google there is literally no information on soloing. Are people just not trying this disgusting mess or am I missing something?

people are definitely trying
but blizz hasnt done anything to allow for real soloing on any difficulty
its a mess right now, and apparently the raids scale to 60
you have to wait 10 years for them to do anything now. SL raids will all be soloable in 15 years at this rate

BoD LFR has been soloable since SL…

Specifically I am trying to figure out how to get Lady Proudmore to transition out of the storm. I finally killed it on my enhancement shaman (took forever and multiple deaths), but could never get in melee range and she didn’t transition out until killed.
I miss when blizz actually cared (even just a little) about mount and transmog farmers going back and fixing anti solo mechanics. Ion blew that up and actually made things worse in the squish going back on his 1 content rule.

My best suggestion is to get to 70 and buy the cheap crafted gear from the AH, you’ll be more than strong enough to solo BoD LFR without an issue.
They still might do that, currently there’s a couple anti-solo mechanics they need to fix but most BFA bosses are soloable at this point.
Don’t change my profile often so just noticed this is one of my alts I’m still leveling. I’ve been trying to farm on level 70’s (386-395 ilevel). Hunter had the most success, pally sometimes, shaman was rough (enhance), evoker was horrible and gave up.
First fight required so much mobility it took forever on evoke, then the second fight continually bugged. From that jaina would not have gone well anyway given the movement required in the storm phase.
Second fight solo you have to take the right teleporter, interrupt and kill her and any sirens that spawn, then head to the other ship, interrupt and kill him, then interrupt and kill boss. The third boss I usually just stand in everything and dps her, you’ll resist most of her attempts to freeze you.
Mythrax in Uldir still one-shots.

I’ve done a few runs of BoD since DF and I find it best to have 1 person in charge of CCing and slowing the bots so they don’t get to the main damage dealers near Mekkatorque. Once you get some strategies, it’s quite fun.
I suspect that this whole thing will get leagues easier once it becomes official legacy content.
The one shot from ice block likely wont though.
Concievably you will be able to do so much damage to jaina in phase one that the fight just ends.
Like right now I can phase skip Argus by just doing so much damage that golganeth barely has time to drop his orb before the zombie titan is taking a dirt nap.
I can’t quite kill Jaina in p1 but she dies during p2, doesn’t even get a chance to build her ice wall.
Then I’m doing something wrong. I’ve gone in with 4 difference classes around 395 ilevel and it takes about a min to push to end phase 1 (ice orb at around 55%) then to the intermission with howling winds. She will not leave the howling wind phase and I have to constantly move to not get iceblocked. Pretty makes it impossible with melee. Even popping all cooldowns it would take another 40 seconds to kill her and this is only LFR.
