Hah. Many GMs get soloed all the time. I don't think every GM has been soloed, but that may be due to lack of opportunity or because the GM is an ******* (see: Caleb)|

I remember someone with the forum name Peace On Earth claiming that they soloed Hami with a fully IO'd Ill/Rad, took them a couple days, and considered that "beating the game" and quit afterwards. I never heard for sure if it was verified though.
I believe Peace on Earth was the one who soloed Lusca. I never heard of him soloing Hamidon. The only case of soloing Hamidon I've heard of was a Warshade on Test exposing a serious bug which allowed him to kill Hami in two or three shots. I think he got Bug Hunter for it

If the Devouring Earth monsters down on Monster Island count as giant monters, they are soloable. I slowly beat one down with my brute on Virtue one day. It takes a long, long time and is extremely boring to do. I haven't, however, tried to do the same with any of the giant monsters that have names.

Yeah, that was Peace on Earth who solo'd Hamidon, and I am pretty sure he did it with a Peacebringer, now a Warshade. Yes, he got Bug Hunter.|

Basically he was able to have a huge number of slots in a few powers and thus have a huge damage bonus.

The Weakened Hami (in the Lady Grey) has been soloed.
The full version, not so much. (outside of the above bug)

You did that when you solo'd the Lady Gray TF a couple months after it came out, didn't you, Cat?

I still want to solo the LRSF with my brute, but when I'll get around to getting his build up to snuff is a question only the elder gods know.
Be well, people of CoH.

And that was pre-ED, wasn't it? So his dozens of damage SOs actually mattered.|

Did he also use a geometry hole in the Hive which prevented Hami from shooting back?

Right. Old Hami, Old SO rules, and a map exploit. There's really no other way, and Modern Hami is much much tougher in any case.

Already mentioned but my immediate thought was that I doubt Reichsman is soloable, especially with his mini-legion of Doom. I'd think you'd run out of gun charges before you ground him down and then that'd be that. Maybe he wouldn't ever kill you but you'd both stare at one another for a long, long time.
If he can be soloed, I wouldn't want to watch it. Sounds pretty dull
Hydra Trial might be tough, you need to drop all four generators then hit the Hydra.
Dr. Quaterfield requires simulclicks.
Cavern of Transcendance trial would be amusing...

Once we get the 'clone yourself' power like what Dr. Aeon has, everything will be solo-able!

Arachnos flyer, Outside Spawn. The time limit is the key here.
Drop ship. Time limit merged with insane resists and HP along with deadly lasers. It takes too many slows to get a chance to deliver the damage.

I'm fairly certain nothing could solo Hamidon. (Exploits of bugs don't count) Everything else I can think of can be soloed. |

I dunno, I've duoed it before, and I was on a Mastermind at the time, so most of my damage was catching up to me during the time we had to attack.

I knew I wasn't imagining things:
Peace_On_Earth bio claims his Ill/Rad soloed new Hami (doesn't say new, but I remember it happening, and I wasn't around for old Hami)
Also Ultimus' TankMage Mastermind -- List of AV's Owned he posts in there somewhere, and some soloing achievements all around in that thread.

Ah good, someone's mentioned Ultimus, that's all need's be said imo! |

I have a very hard time believing that, unless it was like with the Touch of Lady Grey's proc when it dealt like Avogadro's number worth of damage. Anyone have details on how this was purportedly done?|

Well, on the Scrapper forums, there're some comparisons of sets and speeds. Just under four minutes is the record, I believe. How fast do the pylons respawn? 'Cause, while that did take some special circumstances to pull off, it seems certain builds might be able to beat that, perhaps without saturating Against All Odds. At which point the question becomes "What counts as soloing the Rikti Ship Raid?" Merely surviving until the shield comes up? Defeating U'Kon? Planting a bomb? Getting X number of merits?

I've never really understood the allure of soloing GM's and AV's, but I also hate fighting things that con red or purple. I'd rather take down a lot of weaker stuff really, really fast.
I do understand the allure of solo'ing a Task Force, though. That might be interesting.
Before the forum merge i read in the controller section about a guy who had soloed it but there was a huge debate over whether it was viable since there was a constant supply of inspirations being handed out after each tentacle was defeated.
Being able to stand toe to toe with a GM for some, is a way of showing just how powerfull your character is. A good target to reach imo
