Why do people think a zerg is needed?
You had a party.
I think the main complaint is that if you don’t, you’re toast.

It’s not necessary but it makes the job easier.
If one guy falls there are several people to get him up in a second.
People think a zerg is needed because they’re unfortunately not used to playing solo or in small groups. So much of the other living stories, as well as champ farms, have hurt the skill set of the player-base.
Just did it in an almost empty overflow, just my party and me most of the time. Not a single problem.
Actually, considering what I just experienced, an almost empty server would be a boon…
I was in an overflow with lotsa folks in it. Since noone was in front of me at the time, I tried to run through like a madman… died at the minefields, naturally. Having learned that lesson, I tried playing tactically – step/dodge outside the non-red AOE marks, control my attacks, etc.
And then some fool brings in the mob version of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to welcome me to the tower.
I’d rather there be noone else in the outer tower levels to try to play through it, but that ain’t gonna happen, so I’m prolly not gonna try it any more…
it’s fun when YOU screw YOURSELF up and learn from it, building a set of tactics and patterns as you go.
It’s not fun when no matter WHAT you do, it will all be for naught when consideration-challenged droolbot runs past you.
As been pointed out many times by others, the run itself is fine solo. Try soloing champs by yourself to open the passageways. yes that means no party. Also, the current meta is skewed towards zerkers, so i believe the zerkers with inherent low hp will be much more troubled and since theres a lot of them, theres a lot of complaints in this forum
