Hi all,
In Shadowlands, the second phase of the last boss in Tazavesh involved her going 99% immune to damage (“Power Overwhelming”), summing a rough circle of 5 stars around her, and casting a spell called Hyperlight buff. The idea was that players would stand behind a star and the hyperlight jolt buff would bounce between them, destroying the stars and removing the power overwhelming buff.
This… doesn’t work when you’re the only player in the instance, perhaps trying to kill her for the mount she drops. She spams hyperlight jolt but because I’m alone it doesn’t ricochet anywhere or disable any stars, meaning she keeps the 99% damage reduction buff.
I seriously dps’d her for about seven minutes, before I got bored. I’ve been autoattacking her for 15 minutes. She’s at 74% health. Reset is in 51 minutes; I’m not sure I’ll make it in time.
Please tweak?

Thanks for the bump! Friend of mine tested it with two people. It cut the kill time down from 50 minutes to 27 minutes, and the shield stayed up the whole time. I have not been successful in convincing any of my friends to run it with three after they heard about my 45 min solo attempt, but it sounds like you need the full five to break her shield?

This isn’t a bug though. This is working as intended.
What you are asking is for a tweak to a non bug, which this is the incorrecft forum to do so.
Old content should be soloable. It shouldn’t take a “suggestion” to have them fix a mechanic that is preventing dungeon bosses from being soloed.

I too would love to see this tweaked for soloing, as someone who never saw this instance at the time, it’s fun to go back and do collections solo!

Well I can do hard mode next week, still debating if it is worth trying to kill So on Mythic this week because of just how tedious it is. Finding a random group to help seems to be a no go either.

Cleared all the way to So’leah today in hopes of farming the mount, so was very disappointed to find that this cannot be soloed unless you want to waste an hour of your time whittling away at her 99% damage reduction buff that cannot be removed. It’s even more disappointing that this was submitted as a bug report over three months ago and is still an issue. Even if it’s not technically a bug, could this problem be passed along to the right people so that it’s not an ongoing frustration?

The Developers, who are the only ones that can implement this suggestion, do not come to this forum. QA, who monitors this forum, does not forward suggestions to the Developers.
Suggestions do not belong in the Bug Report Forum. If you want to see a change in the game, the best place to put them is somewhere else than here. You can also use the in-game tool to send a suggestion.

Or someone from QA could let a dev know something in their game is broken. Suggestions are all this forum is: suggestions to fix things. So fix this.

That’s the thing, this isn’t broken, hence it is not a bug and QA will not do anything about it. They are also not allowed to forward suggestions to the Devs. You do whatever you want, I’m just informing you of the proper way to get feedback to the Devs.

The thing is though… you’re not a developer. You don’t know it’s not broken. Was the encounter desgined to always behave as if five people were alive/present, or is this an unintended oversight or bug (i.e. broken). There are dozens of dungeon bosses that dynamically vary their mechanics based on party size, but this one does not.

I’ll point out they haven’t made the Heimdall and Hyrja phase of the Odyn encounter in Trial of Valor solo-friendly yet, and that fight is 6 1/2 years old.
This is still an issue… 5 months later…
It’s very clear that they don’t care about making any old content soloable anymore
