I work full time and go to school full time, plus have other friends and other games so yeah, I haven’t had a chance to yet.
The buffs are added when there are stat squishes.
They were already soloable, but Blizzard determined that the scaling buff (that was already there btw) wasn’t enough and increased it. They didn’t apply a new buff, just increased the one that was already there to offset the stat squish from going into BFA.
Make nerfing BFA content high priority. It should be, a lot of players want to solo the rest of bfa.
I feel like they should just line it up with BFA timewalking. That should get implemented at some point this xpac, unless they aren’t doing that anymore and I missed it?
They’ll already be messing around with the BFA dungeon tuning - may as well just adjust the raids too real quick!
In other words you don’t really care and a legacy buff to BFA raids would only benefit you. Why are you against it?
Wrong.
There was no stat squish when this legacy buff happened. There was a stat squish in WoD then at the very end of BFA.
You’re objectively wrong.
Because there’s a feeling of progress when you can solo something now that you couldn’t before. Making old content arbitrarily soloable with some massive buff kills all feelings of player power progress between expansions.
Show me when they added a new buff besides after stat squishes and not just changed an existing one.
You didn’t even read your own link. That stat squish happened at the beginning of BFA, not the end.
I don’t know, but I’ve resigned to the fact that soloing raids now seem to be a three expansions ago thing.
Legion was doable but a pain SL, but faceroll now, though Kiljaeden and Eonar are still a pain the tail.
Tail?..…sobs
I’ve already solo’d normal Castle Nathria, so you definitely don’t have to wait 3 expansions lol.
Nobody’s talking about soloing normal.
If you don’t say a specific difficulty then I assume you mean any difficulty. You can solo the raids on normal and probably heroic.
PS. I saw your post before you deleted it, thanks for the laugh 
You know most people mean mythic. Not sure why you’d think otherwise.
Ah, yes, I’m sure you’ve never made a mistake in your life huh?
Fair enough, but have you done Mythic?
I have more things to farm on Legion and below that I can just wait for BFA and SL. Doable is a bit subjective too, e.g. Fallen Avatar was ‘doable’ solo during SL but a horrendous pain and you had to be well geared. I can wait until they’re killable in a couple seconds rather than a couple minutes.
Because different things drop on different difficulties, and saying a said isn’t soloable at all vs isn’t soloable on mythic is two different claims.
So far I’ve only tried mythic Wrathion because people were saying it was impossible and I wanted to see if they were right (they weren’t). It took almost 10 minutes though so I’ll hold off doing more until next tier
You need to be about 20-30x as strong as a character of that time was to be able to solo (and not necessarily comfortably) mythic raids of that expansion, and we are just barely 20x as strong as a BFA toon, if not quite that much. Another tier of gear should push us into the soloable range of power needed though.
Saying it isn’t soloable means the complete range of raid difficulties isn’t fully soloable. Soloing a few bosses on normal is irrelevant to most people.
That’s your own interpretation. Soloable just means “can I do this raid solo?”, with the answer being yes on normal and heroic. We haven’t scaled high enough to comfortably solo mythic BFA yet but I think we will have by the end of this expansion.
And soon blizzard will remove legancy buff on all old content saying people should run them when they are current content or get a group to farm them since blizzard don’t want people to have fun and throw resource to tune old content.
We should be pushing blizzard to keep up so everything form 2 expansion ago or longer can be solo even for mythic. Why should we let them slide it and cheap out on hiring more devs to make it happen?
That’s most people’s interpretation.
But you can’t solo all BFA raids on normal. Even by your own definition, BFA raids are not soloable.
Gear shouldn’t matter when soloing raids 2 or more expansions ago. A fresh 70 should be able to solo mythic BFA raids.
This, unfortunately. Maybe they could make SL “two expansions ago” instead? Then there’s at least some new content to farm solo …
Says who? I don’t see a poll anywhere saying that.
You can solo most of the bosses (all of normal nyalotha is soloable :D), with only a couple (eg mythraxx and Ghuun in uldir, council in BoD) being because of mechanics and not damage. Having a buff wouldn’t change if those bosses were soloable, Blizzard has to modify the raids directly, which I would be fine with.
Gear has always mattered. You beat old content by out-scaling it. The legacy buffs just imitate scaling that used to be in the game, but was removed when they do squishes.
Should probably loosen that tinfoil hat, it’s cutting off circulation.
You’re literally in a topic called “Bfa raids soloable when?”
Gear matters when soloing BC raids? Wrath? Cata? MoP?
The legacy buff just multiplies your damage and reduces your damage taken, with older content having a larger buff to replicate the scaling between expansions that was removed. So if you go to Legion raid content, which has the buff, you’ll notice your damage output is noticeably lower if you take off your gear. So your gear does affect it.
