So everyone is saying solo is harder.
I dont find that to be true but I could be wrong.
What I find insane is the scaling.
I did the hollow's mission with
2 blasters
1 tank
1 controller
1 defender.
All players were either 15th level or SK'd to 14th.
zone in and the 1st floor is relatively easy but we keep getting adds 'cause the Outkasts are wandering around. We trying pulling to a safer location and that seemed to help.
Take the elevators to the next level and fight in the elevator room. We have one puller dragging mobs back when suddenly we get this 16th level boss mob and his entourage of orange LT's who proceed to hand us our respective arses. We all die, run back from the hospital 'cause they are camping our corpses in the elevator room. The boss mob had summoned 5 little fire monkey pets that were also orange to us. So our inital pull was 3 mobs, add the boss and his 5 or 6 LT's and the monkies and we bit it hard and fast. We return and get the same scenario. When we pull the boss is no where near us and then suddenly he and all his friends are there pounding us into hero soup. I manage to esacpe this time only to return to the floor to see the outcasts camping the teams corpses. There is no way that mission was scaled to the levels we had or the # of players we had. We did use tactics too. The was hovering so that the "Bricks" earthquake stun could not stop her steamcloud. I stood as far outside of the range of the mobs as I could and healed the tank as often as my power recycled. The blasters I tried to keep healed with AoE heal but it was hardly enough. After the 4th wipe we caught a bit of luck in that the boss and his friends got stuck trying to run towards us to cream us and we managed to finish our pulls off before they made it. Just as we were using the elevators to escape and rest they showed up. When we went back up one of the LT's was just standing there alone so we took him quick. Once we had finally finished off all the mobs we left. Another of our group members had the same quest in the exact same building so we went back in ... same dang thing .. super broke. Tactics work if you are not stunned all the time. They work if you are fighting things close to your level that do not have the powers of things 17 levels higher than you. No matter how much you might think that is fun. It's like a High School football team playing against some team from the NFL.
