Guild Wars 2

I’ve been wondering this for a while, I tried to solo a tower twice today, using a cata for the walls and a ballista for the champ, but I got ganked the first time and zerged the second time. I know lot’s of people have soloed supply camps, but has anyone done it to a tower?

As stated before…Yep, it has been done in the brotherhood.
For keeps we cap them with three guys, but we think that can be done just with two (even one?)….

Best,

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

Yes solo took back my home Cliffside, was a pain started ram then run to supply camp get 10 more supply and wait when guard/ranger spawn kill them run camp and so on.

I’ve solod towers with warri, necro, guard, thief and 2-manned keeps. The record in soloing a keep so far is getting the keep lord down to 50% hp with thief until the cavalry came.

Forget towers, I’ve seen players solo keeps. Thiefs can down a keep lord with the right build.

Here’s a video of Koroshi soloing a tower on his engineer. Sometimes he just hides inside a tower that’s being taken by an enemy zerg and then solo captures it back after Righteous Indignation ends.

Condition Thieves are arguably better for soloing towers/keeps because they can spam evades/stealth while maintaining a large stack of bleeds with the right build.

If you’ve got all night and an empty server – probably.

Go in through a wall in preference to a door. The stupid guards respawn really fast but they stand out front and ignore you pounding on the wall.
I’ve tried it a couple of times but others always showed up to help or chase me off.

Jackie form VoTF has soloed an keep, looks exhausting though

^ a condi thief soloing keeps. She just hid in the keep and waited for the buff timer before retaking it. The same thief has soloed towers as well (one using a condi build and another with a backstab build).

It’s fairly easy if you just have enough time to do it. Some hidden patch made the lord immune to caltrops bleed, considerabely slowing the process, though.

Build yourself an Omega Golum, sneak around the outside of the map, jump out at the gate, kill the guards, the beat on the wall. When guards respawn, jump out and kill real quick. Once inside, rinse and repeat. Focus fire on the Keep lord, when at 5k health left in the golum, jump out and finish him off solo. Works every time. Just make sure that you do this ONLY when there is a huge force fighting on the other side of the map.

yes its do-able only a bit of time consuming

I’ve done it before, numerous time mind I tell ya. It was back in the day when I was in CD and PvDoor all night long for 3 months. Had enough of it and went to TC instead.

I’ve gotten garrison wall down by myself, solo running supply x 4 from north supply camp to a cata while there were two 70 man enemy zergs on the map

Have also soloed a tower by trotting a golem up to lake tower.

It’s doable

I was soloing a tower, a thief came to stop me and the thief died, I got the lord down to 50%, then the theif brought a zerg of 20 to stop me.

I saw an engineer solo a tower once.

I’ve both solo’d and duo’d a few towers during my time as a WvW addict, and got a keep lord to 30% before a horde of angry Germans stormed in… yeah that didn’t end well for me…

Hackgate used to solo towers all the time! :P

The PvE aspect of soloing WvW content is relatively mild at best. You can find videos of players soloing towers all over the place with a bunch of different classes. You just need a build with high survivability and sustained damage. Time and stealth is the main problem; soloing a Tower is not a fast trick and you can easily get caught with all of the bells and whistles on the WvW map.

I almost, almost managed to solo take SM. But someone spotted me and I got owned when I got the inner gate down to 10%. It’s doable. You just need a huge distraction somewhere else on the map and hope there are very few people on to notice you. I doubt I would have been able to kill the SM lord solo on my guardian anyway if I had gotten all the way in, not on the spec I was running at the time anyway.

I solo towers all the time. It’s all about luck though, enemy forces have to be completely distracted by something else on the opposite side of the map. Even just one scout can kitten everything,

I play ranger, and have to say: It’s very possible..
Capping camps you can do with your eyes closed. takes about 1 minute..
Capping a tower you’ll have to use some tactical luring to get the NPC’s down one by one.. Can take from 10 minutes to half an hour..
Capping a keep also works, but takes very very long of course.. So the odds that you’ll get zerged are very likely.. (only capped a keep once during one of my insomniac nights – took me 35 minutes)

I have done many towers solo and even bay on my warrior. Also a 3 man sneak cap of garrison worked out aswel (5s later and we would have failed).

I know a thief that did SM solo aswel.

I need to see video proof of that.

Pics or it didnt happen.

I’m inclined to believe him on that. If I can almost do it on my guardian, a thief should have no problem whatsoever since they can hide themselves. Thieves are VERY good at solo capping. The lord might be a challenge though. he’s a lot tougher than regular tower or keep lords. The thief would have to be very talented and not miss a single dodge or mess up once. A couple hits from that lord and he’s toast.

I have done Towers, maybe to inner wall on Keeps, and nope vs SM — i have seen SM capped by 3ppl though.
