Best Powerset for Soloing Doors in BAF
The best I've seen is from a /Fire Brute. Burn damage kills most of minions before they even appear and you can knock out blow a Lieut.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
I've solo'ed doors the following combinations.
Plant/Storm/Ice controller +3 with Elementals
Earth/Fire/Ice Dom +3 with Warwarks
Human Warshade +3 with Elementals (and 3 pets perma)
Ice/Fire/Ice Blaster +3 with Lights
My Fire/SS tank comes close if I bring Reds (to avoid the rage crash) and some break frees to avoid confusion. So I imagine SS/Fire brute would be even better.
I'd imagine there a lot of other toons who could do it with the right pet selection (especially tier 4's with the bonus damage). This is just from personal experience.
Rad/Fire Blaster. The sauce was awesome. I don't solo doors if the leader specifically states "chokepoints only", I always ask first since there are some people who will try to 'help' (and I end up killing whilst confused) and.... damn, I haven't played the toon for about a month. Time to dust them off and kick some more butt.
