Ranger with traited “guard”, SotW, and dual bears or drakes. Swap pet when it gets low, use hunter’s shot to drop aggro if the lord focuses you.

Pretty much any class can solo a keep. The time consuming part is getting in. Builds depend on the class used but generally you want either heavy AoE such as well Necro or other strong ranged single target like Ranger. Guards/lord arent really that hard, but even a single knockdown can ruin your day when there is 5 more on you in melee.

That said, you arent really meant to solo keeps. Just 2 players will turn “no success” into “no challenge”

Use poison to reduce the lord’s healing

Pretty easy on warri if i run condi..Bow/sw/sh no real danger in soloing these,you can kite forever in there,might get tricky on melee though.

Pro tip for soloing keeps/bay/hills/garri if youre a squishy.Get a golem and jump out of it making sure you put it close enough to lords for it to get all aggro so you can spamm away your skills without even being targeted by the npc’s,making you atleast able to kill of all npcs fast enough then start on the champ without he even noticing youre there.
Npc’s pick the guy with the highest armor,an empty golem will still have more armor than you do.

It’s easier solo WvW keep than cap EotM keep with 10 players. WvW is good training area and after that you can come EotM and do some real HC TRAINing.

You can’t “quickly” solo a keep without hacking. The hacking method involves clipping through either the keep or the ground and dps’ing the boss from underground. Supposedly anet is trying to fix this by killing players that go under the world.

Generally the fastest “legit” keep soloe’rs are condi perma-stealth thieves or mesmers. The idea is to stay inside inner walls when it flips so you dont need to break any doors, then load up the champ with condi’s and stealth to avoid damage. Search on Youtube, not the forum. But understand: there is nothing “fast” about this method. It is generally a ~10 minute fight, and thats not counting all the time spent hiding inside the keep.

Just as there is no class or spec that can quickly solo the keep from the inside, there is no class or spec that can do it quickly from the outside either.

Any class can do it slowly.

For me the best class that i can cap solo tower/keep is:

-mesmer (condi or power) great for atack, take, and run if some defenders come (in my opinion its now the strongest class in the game)
-condi thief- almost same easy as mesmer becose of great atack/defence mechanic,
- necromancer- i usualy play this class as my main and its good to atack, and take solo tower/keep, but it lack of good defence mechanic, so when come some defenders run from “bad fights” its weery limited,

This are my “top 3” classes for solo tower/keeps or sm (but do solo sm need more time and i do it only few time solo with necro when no defenders show up)

All what you need to know about solo keeps is to make good build of balanced dps that are be greater than lord heal regen, and sustain that allow you to not die when do dps (usualy do dps is muth harder when you dead :P)
Im my opinion best builds for this are condi.

All players/npc have 2 defend stats – its vitality and armor.
Condi dps ignore one of the defending stat- armor, and its weery easy to increase condi dps , like 40% condi duration food, some trains +20%, some utilitys (signets +20%) = +40%, +60%,80% more dps on npc lord
When you have dps next what you need is some abilitys to survive
There are 2 ways for do this:
- increase surviving ability by stats (like armor, vitality, healing power) or,
- increase surviving by class mechanic (like immunity, teleports block, invisibility etc.)

Just need to know how you like to play and adopt a build for this

Try to make some builds, or if whone pm me i can show you some builds and explain how they work- with traints, skills and gear- this usualy need 1 hour for each build to show, explain and test in fights- but first you need to know HOW you like to play and then fit some build for this
Its all for fun, and the most fun give they way of play that you like so the build must fit to player not player to build

The most important is to be nice and keep smiling

PU Condi. Takes five minutes. Just focus the lord and ignore the guards as they will die from the AoE. A couple of useful skills I slot in for this that I don’t otherwise run: Pain Inverter (since Asura) to help with the confusion bomb, and Mistfire Wolf. As long as you are careful about keeping clones up or aggro on you so your wolf isn’t instantly targeted, his damage is really helpful.

Garrison lord takes longer though and you have a much higher risk of getting intercepted.

Mesmers can solo keeps pretty easily thanks to stealth to drop aggro and clones to take aggro.

Use an Omega Golem if you have trouble.

Or use a class you’re best at, I can do it for mesmer and ele but no other class while a friend can do it on guard and war but no other class lol
