Yo can we get a look at old raids from BFA and Legion?

Some bosses are still unreasonably difficult or outright impossible to solo for most of your playerbase at the moment. C’mon Blizz. I can’t ALWAYS have friends available at any given time to gimme a hand with some of this garbage. I can even give examples of this BS.

Mythrax, the Unraveler – Impossible to solo. The first 3 seconds into the fight he will immediately mind control you, despawning him and forcing the room to become one gigantic kill-zone.

G’huun – Impossible to solo. Healing 0.5% of his max HP every half second when the thing has millions of HP means literally nobody can output enough DPS to force him to phase 2. And nobody can solo the basketball mechanic either.

N’zoth the Corrupter – Impossible to solo. Killing him requires disabling his psychic barrier, which means someone has to go “downstairs” to slay the mini-boss add. If alone, he despawns and resets because he has no target when trying to solve this problem.

Lady Ashvane – Impossible to solo at higher difficulties because of her coral barrier. Possible at lower difficulties with classes that have vastly stronger burst damage, but tedious.

Orgozoa – Impossible to solo on all difficulties. 10 auto attacks and you die. Period.

Queen Azhara – Impossible to solo. See above. – Even if you could get to her, you will wipe when she enrages. Which will happen very quickly without multiple bodies.

Eonar, the Life-Binder – Very possible to solo. Mythic difficulty is the issue. Way too difficult to bother with the Paraxis by yourself, even on extremely fast moving classes. If you do not have the skip, you can not progress further into the raid without beating her.

The Coven of Shivarra – Very possible. Very tedious in Mythic difficulty, as they have a 99% reduced damage received buff. Pet-less classes will have issues here unless they’re willing to wait for 20 minutes to actually kill the boss.

Kil’jaeden – Pretty easy now, even on Mythic. But you have to be able to kill him before he can enter his Intermission phase or it gets bad quick.

Desolate Host – Is bugged. The Soul Queen Dejahna can remain alive if you kill the Engine of Souls too quickly. If you kill the Desolate Host before she dies, you will be permanently locked into combat and have to log out of your character to leave the raid. Even after leaving the raid this encounter won’t end, locking you out for the remainder of the week until the server forces it to reset entirely.

Okay, I know I said a few examples, but… Seriously… Can we just have all of these looked at…? I wanna be able to farm old content when I know I should be able to.

Coven hasn’t had a damage reduction on it any of the times I’ve run the instance since late Shadowlands except for the one time I ran it in a duo. It should be disabled if you’re truly solo, I just don’t know if it counts having a pet as “not solo.”

I did the LFR version just to see what it was like, and the boss didn’t despawn while I was downstairs.

Is that new? I did it a couple weeks ago on mythic with no issues.

There are fair few fights in BfA that could use mechanic adjustments to make them more solo-friendly, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it. You can always just list a group in the legacy LFG section.

Possibly new. Ran in there with my warrior just a couple weeks ago and blew up Desolate Host ridiculously fast. Jumped off the ledge to “shortcut” back to Aegwynn and the encounter was apparently still active, as Soul Queen hadn’t died or despawned for some reason…

Queen should have despawned at the very least from me killing myself.

/shrug All I know is that it can bug out if you jump off too quickly after clicking the tears. So the stairs won’t open to Maiden.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about Jaina freezing you and just making you sit there forever.

Rastakhan phasing so Bwonsomdi slurps us up into the shadow realm despawns Rastakhan because he has no target.

This should be a no issue for most fights if they just put back legacy dmg. Having to solo fights designed for 25 ppl is just bad if you dont have the means to skip the mechanics. Was trying KJ now, bursted him to half HP, then he got invulnerable and started 2nd phase, dropping balls until i got expelled from the platform…
This asinine policy of us “experiencing” old raid must stop, ppl just want their collectibles and nothing else.

Legacy damage isn’t gone. It’s just they messed up the game when they reduced the level cap.

You can still one-tap every pre-Legion raid boss.

This has been the bane of several of my toons the past few weeks.

Anyone who can move quicker than Ret pal (anyone, basically) is absolutely capable of doing eonar solo first try.

And rest of the Legion bosses are no even a challenge. Worst thing - you’d get kicked from platform on KJ

I have the skip for this raid and that fight was the worst. I kept wishing for it’s deletion.

Nobody does mythic Antorus without a skip, or without friends, because of how tedious Eonar is. It’s not impossible. It’s annoying. I can solo it on my warrior, my druid, hell even my DK which is even slower than Paladin…

It doesn’t mean I want to. It sucks too, because Eonar has helmets and some off-tier items.

All of the Legion examples are very soloable and not hard at all. I do see the Soul Harvester bug happen sometimes which is annoying.

If you’re having trouble with Eonar, I’d say it’s something you aren’t doing quite right. For example, I started running it in Shadowlands on this character, and if I’m able to do it on what was, at the time, slowest class in WoW, any class can do it.

You can move whole clicking the Final Doom crystals, and that’s what people mess up most often. You don’t have to stop moving at all.

It’s either that or you have poor placement on the Fel Reavers that spawn and perhaps don’t use the wings to get around

Yeah, contrarian paladins aren’t difficult to deal with either.
