Hi everyone.
Just what title says. What build and gear are you using for soloing dungeons?

Learning English, any correction is very welcome.

oh didn’t see I was in the engi subforum

so, 6/6/0/2/0 or 6/6/0/0/2 with full assassin is your best bet,

If you’re on EU and need help to get into dungeons, pm me.

The meta build then. I was wondering if rabid or celestial were good alternatives.

Rabid with aristocrat runes and a sigil of strength and bursting isn’t a bad choice really, might not be quite as fast as using sin and zerk but it does at least provide a bit of a cushion when dealing with trash mobs. Obviously still have to avoid taking big shots from bosses though.

6/6/0/0/2 for general full dps open world.
6/6/0/2/0 for content you need to dodge more (no rifle mod).

Zerker or kitten doesn’t matter actually. I’d say solo Zerker is better and in parties kitten. Depends on your might stacks.

I wonder if condi engi is faster than power, since nades are an hybrid weapon, my guess would be that berserker/sin is still superior but I didn’t test condi extensively.

I’ve never done an official test, at least not one that could recreate exact scenarios between the two different armor sets. But I have run solo both ways and the difference in time to clear is not huge. On lupi, it might be a bit faster even since he has such high armor, but I am not so pro or consistent that I could ever rule out player error for time differences.

On lupi, you’ll get *cked by the condicap. No – Zerker or kitten >>> Condi in every aspect of TEAMplay.

For solo, condi is viable. Either hybdrid (precision, power, condidmg) or full condi (condidmg, precision, toughness) is good for solo, when there is no condi cap. Full condi even makes you tank against bosses.

That’s what we are talking about, the op asked specifically about for dungeon solos

Ohhhhhhh my bad I’m terribly sorry >.<

Against Lupi, focusing on precision may be better, since you can throw elixier R for reflection. But in that case maybe ferocity would be good too, wich leads us again to zerker. Hm – … or does a precision, ferocity, condition damage stat set exist? I doubt it but … hm ö.ö

Well as for me I only solo CM p3 where the meta build is the best imo. I might try using turrets with reflection, now that I think about it ö.ö

Btw, wich dungeon runs are really soloable WITHOUT exploits. Greez

As far as I know, not many but I guess it depends on what you consider an exploit heh.
