There are some AV's I've never been able to solo, Lord Recluse for instance. The hardest AV I was able to defeat was Nightstar, she was a PITA. Easiest AV for me, probably Requiem and if you want to head into AE to fight Heroes Manticore is a pushover. 
Good luck!

Serafina is very hard.
Inferno is a bear I got him but it took a lot of tries he just hits so freaking hard and I am using a fire/sd and he has 50% fire resistance
Marauder is one of my favorite to fight but he is more of an endurance challenge because he pops unstoppable and your damage output goes to suck
Nightstar I have beaten at lvl 50 and 51 not to bad for fire can be a bear for lethal (50% resistance to lethal)
Chimera melted like butter he was easy Blackswan once I survived the first wave she went down pretty easy
The stupid Carnival of Shadows AV never been able to solo her she just bypass my defense and my heals can not keep up and can be interrupted she is just Kryptonite to my fire/sd
Shadow Hunter was just long and drawn out with his earth embrace heals it was just a matter of slogging threw the heals another endurance test not hard just long and drawn out.
That is of my head I done more but those are some more recent ones
Nice thing about Marauder is you can get him as a single mission flashback and can get a reward merit same with Nightstar

The ones I've found easier that I'm thinking of at the moment would be Manticore, Chimera, Bobcat and Marauder. Both Chimera and Marauder were good practice AVs since you could get to them through Ouroboros. Hardly matters now with AE. Anyway, they should all be pretty easy on a properly-spec'd DM/SR.
Ones I've found hardest but beatable are Infernal, Malaise, Scirocco and worst of the bunch, Silver Mantis. Don't even try Malaise with a Super Reflexes, though, unless you want to taste floor. He has a ton of non-positional psionic attacks that he spams. I got through him on Katana/Regen and Katana/Dark with massive healing.

Most Praetorian AVs tend to be weak and wimpy.
Silver Mantis, Scirocco, Mako, Kalinda, Viridian, Baphomet, Foreshadow, Mynx, Ms Liberty, Lord Recluse, Statesman, Citadel, Synapse, Positron are some of the real difficult AVs IMO.
There are a few inbetweens:
Ghost Widow is tricky because of her mag 100 hold; if she hits you with that you're pretty much dead. Aside from that, she isn't too hard to kill
Diabolique is mostly harmless, but can be a pain to finish off because of her PFF
Malaise, Numina and Sister Psyche will eat you alive if you don't have psionic defense/resistance, but aren't exactly deadly or too hard to kill otherwise.
The robotic types (Luminary, Nightstar, Siege, Vandal, Dreadnaught Titan, etc) are hard to take down because of their high resistance to S/L/N damage, but aren't otherwise too dangerous or too hard to kill (except Citadel, who hits hard and has a godmode on top of it)
Silver Mantis. She has made me her ***** more times than I care to count.
I started with Tyrant, fought him on the throne with my DM/SR, was a good first fight cause he's not the easiest I've fought and not the hardest either. I think if I'd started easy it would have been a shock later

For Scrappers I'd say Scirocco can really hurt as well as any Psi-based AV.
Positron could be a challenge if your pure defense based. 1 Hit from him and your suffering from cascading failure.

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

For difficulty it'd be hard to beat Nosferatu, his regen is pumped up to 11. I doubt you'd have a lot of trouble surviving, but killing him is another thing altogether. Madam of Mystery is another with the regen turned to "stupid", and she's psi.
Easy ones would be ones like Battle Maiden, Bobcat (but if she connects it tends to smart) and other fairly vanilla AV's.

And it's not just the nearly doubled regeneration. He also has FOUR heals! Of which one is Dull Pain which doesn't just stop you with the ~10k heal, but also boosts his Regen for two minutes after. :S

Lord Recluse is by far the hardest to solo. Easiest is Chimerora

Dark/Shield Build Thread
Hey folks, I am starting to look into building a scrapper to take on some AVs solo, and was wondering if anyone had advice on which ones I should start with in my attempts. So, which AV did you find to be the easiest to solo, and which ones were the hardest? Thanks!
-If it matters I am using a DM/SR scrapper to try to take on my first AV, and the build is ready for it.
