Does anyone have any opinion on which of the Praetorians are easiest to solo (as critters in the MA)?

Eco.


MArcs:

The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

I guess it depends on what AT/Powersets you going to solo with. I only have experience with ill/rad.

Here is my list from the easiest to the hardest:
Black Swan - 3.5 minutes,
Neuron,
Battle Maiden,
Infernal,
Marauder,
Chimera,
Tyrant,
Shadowhunter,
Bobcat,
Malaise,
Mother Mayhem,
Dominatrix,
Siege - 23 minutes,
Nightstar - 39 minutes,
Diabolique - 90 minutes

Im on a 50 en/en blaster. But its in one of my arcs, so Im wondering how other ATs will fare.

EDIT: I just tried some of them out, and I found the following to be fairly easy on my blaster with a full tray of inspirs:

Tyrant
Chimera
Neuron
Mother Mayhem

Not easy were:

Seige
Marauder
Dominatrix

and Diabolique was horrible. She was the only one who ran, btw.

My arcs meant for solo heroes to run at heroic. I'm wondering if it's going to be a wall-banger. I'll warn up fron in my descr, but, well, if sb doesnt read it and runs it at lvl 4...

Well, maybe you want provide some ally. If someone has problem soloing it, they can get ally's help then. Only one problem I can see is that ally will be autoexed to player's level, while EB on diff 4 will be 2 levels higher

I soloed Chimera AV recently with my fire/sd and he melted like butter (I did it in the hero's Hero's Orbous) No inspirations or temps

Byzantine Warrior-DB/ELA 50;Blade Tempo-50 DB/EA

Hi MrCaptainMan!

Your question really can't be answered for all AT, or even all powersets withing the same AT. It just depends on what the player brings to the fight I'm afraid.

I find most Praetorians pretty easy with the exception of Diabolique and Dominatrix. Neither of which are very dangerous, just hard to put down.

NordBlast and Hejtmane, you do realize that the OP is likely referring to the EB versions of the Praetorians right?

Yeah, I've done them all with blasters on diff 4, using lots of inspirations, but that's what inspirations are for. Dominatrix is bad for squishies, just because she takes so long to die that your breakfrees run out. Diabolique is annoying to anyone. Bobcat and Marauder can be problematic because of Unstoppable, Neuron for the end drain.

As far as AVs go though, most of the Praetorians are on the easy side. So if you add an AV warning to your description, I doubt that anyone who can take on AVs will be stalled by one of these guys.

QR - Cheers for the advice all. I've found a nice narrative workaround for most of them and settled on Tyrant, Mother Mayhem, Neuron and Chimera as the ones the Player will actually have to fight.
