When is blizzard going to fix this boss so it can be done solo?
2 years or more?
Blizzard is to offer a fair game. So where is the delivery?
I’m expecting a boss that can be played and not spend 20 minutes to slowly kill.
Oppose me and be extinguished.

You are nothing.
Imagine hearing that for twenty minutes or longer.
Seen the post in technical support, and bug report. Still waiting on a resolution.
Great. Posting here won’t expedite anything either. This is a player help player forum. There are no GM’s or developers here.
Not sure a post in the bug report forum would help either, as technically it’s not a bug.
Same with a post in tech support.
It can be considered a bug since it was designed for 5 players but as old content becomes obsolete it does not adapt to individual activity.
Every raid/dungeon boss is designed to have group activity, but the developers always fail to prepare for the change. Noticed how it took so long for Eonar to have a backup plan for when she became an outdated boss.
It should be strategic and sound to prepare/plan/react for a backup when the next addon is release and old mobs become old relics.
It’s not a bug though. It’s functioning as intended. It’s annoying when bosses become either un-soloable or a slog like this one, but it’s not a bug.
You would be better off posting in the Dungeons and Raids or General sub forums to get feedback heard. I can safely say that the devs know of the demand from users to make old content farmable, but for one reason or another have always been slow to adapt old mechanics.
Since the boss drops a mount you can likely do a group finder and find another person or two to join you.
You might want to read the TOS - I don’t believe it says that anywhere.
I share your frustration with old bosses that can’t be easily soloed, but I can also understand why Blizzard might think that’s lower priority than making and maintaining current content.
ETA: To the extent Blizzard has said they want to support people doing old content, I believe they’ve said 2 xpacs ago should be soloable, so I wouldn’t expect them to adjust SL content any time soon. They haven’t even done it for BfA yet.
It’s extremely frustrating to be sure.
However, going by Blizz usual modus operandi to legacy content, I wouldn’t expect them to do anything about it until SL raids get a mechanics nerf for soloability. Now considering the fact that we’re still waiting on bfa’s mechanics to get nerfed, I wouldn’t expect them to touch SL content until the end of the next expac.
No what it says in the legalese under article 5 is:
THE GAME(S) ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,”
So it does not say the gameplay has to be fair to you, otherwise everyone would be a mythic full clear max decked out gemmed/enchanted raider by now.
Mythic So’Leah has 1.7 mill health and it takes a minute to beat the arrow to stop its immunity, if that.
It’s been soloable since season 1
They will fix it in the same timeframes they fix all bosses that cannot be done solo, when they add that expansions TW. So yeh, sometime towards the end of TWW.
‘Solo’ possible, but not really. It’s a ‘Go make a coffee’ boss and Blizzard need to get to tuning old content faster, because it’s really sad that I can go back two entire expansions and still be doing the same DPS as I am now and having the same issues as I was back then.
Wait, can we solo Eonar now? I thought you still had to have a good speedset for her.
It would depend on what the goal is. If it’s just a go at the mount from a daily heroic kill, any Brewmaster (440+) will instakill transformed So’Leah by ToD’ing through the immunity.
But yep for everyone else’s sanity I’d be cool if they just changed the reduc buff to like 80 or 70 pct.
It can be a bit tight without a speedset, but its certainly doable.
Those people are going to go “not my job” and do nothing about it since it isn’t a technical problem or a bug. Now you may be asking, “how can I contact someone whose job it actually is?” and the answer is you can’t! That’s the Blizzard way.
it takes 10 mins to do. i just did it myself. in the time it took you to log in and type this, you could have been halfway done.
Complaining about bosses not becoming cakewalk pushovers the second the expansion is no longer current is such a weird thing to me. Like, yeah, it’d be nice if they were a little more consistent with the legacy buff thing, but at the end of the day we’re talking about soloing stuff designed to be done by 5 to 30 people (depending on dungeon vs raid).
I feel like the solution here isn’t to cry and moan on the forums, it’s to bring a singular other player with you in this MMORPG to do content that wasn’t designed to be done solo. Literally a single person so that this mechanic doesn’t become the mess it is as a solo player who’s not getting killed by the mechanic like you would have when it was current.
Same thing as Eonar for people who don’t have a speed set / don’t want to put up with the stress of trying to do 3 groups jobs in separate areas alone. Bring a singular friend. Or random from Trade Chat. Suddenly it’s cake.
I hate people sometimes.
Except it is. The boss is meant to fire a bolt from her to you and have the relics in between. However if you are by yourself, she does the mechanic but no bolt is fired.
Like where do you think the bolt comes from when she fires it to the first person in the “chain”?
Hard mode though is impossible as you need to hit all 5 relics with the bolt without fail within the same cast. Meaning you need 5 people. But regular mode should be done solo as that is not required.
I actually did the fight back in season 1. The arrow mechanic would not work correctly for phase 2. I had to kill her where she had a 99% DR buff on. I would position myself behind a relic such that the relic was between myself and So’leah, she finishes the cast and… nothing. The relic I was behind did not register that it was hit by the arrow / bolt that she shoots. This wasn’t hard mode either, it was just good old regular mythic 0. Where you can do the mechanic over multiple casts.
Sure it is soloable… but it shouldn’t take an eternity because the core mechanic of the fight did not want to work.
No. The arrows and projectiles are supposed to go between players. It does not come from the boss.
It comes from the boss and then goes between players in an order.
No, it goes around the players in a cycle. 1->2->3->4->5->1
