Returning player. I wanna learn how to solo.
Fortunately for you, ele is very good for soloing. Unfortunately for you, you will not be able to solo “every” explorable path because some paths are simply not doable due to mechanics, such as CoE lasers.
As for Spider Queen, for ele it really comes down to just bursting her as fast as possible. If you’re watching old videos, they are likely before when a bug came out that increased the area of all cone type attacks, such as her immobilizing web, so you can’t just stand to the side of that anymore.
Ele is good for soloing, warrior and guard are also very good for it (not tried soloing on any other classes so not sure about others, although I imagine thief is good as well.
As the other poster mentioned, not every path is soloable due to mechanical restrictions.
In terms of resources, the forums here are good ofc (especially the stuff by any of the guys/gals from the likes of DnT, SC, qT or rT) and you can always check the following:
