Soloing is about adapting. Go into any dungeon that can be solo’d (doesnt have player number requirements like cof p1) and just try things. A true soloer shouldnt be asking how to do it. You should be testing and discovering what works on your own. The fun and accomplishment of soloing is all about working these things out for yourself and achieving them without help. Theres no pressure when you are soloing a dungeon for the first time. Spend hours learning and then tackle it again once you know what to do.

The general starting point for a soloer is a high damage build of some sort. So thats either condi or power for necro. And for many fights you will have to tweak at the very least your utilities but often also traits and weapons. But it really depends if you want to go fast or not. I mean you could probably go full nomads and faceroll solo most content if you wanted. x)

Oh I’m a “soloer” per se, just have an absolute lack of experience on dungeons.

Heh ok, I’ll try out a few things.. just wanted to avoid banging myself against the wall for hours on end when someone has already found an unlocked door I haven’t noticed

If you have specific things you find you need help with try asking on the dungeon sub forum. Its where most dungeon solo’ers hang out. Some advice that may be useful can be completely unrelated to the class you are playing. And obviously thats the place to ask for specifics about dungeons.

http://dulfy.net/2014/06/30/gw2-necromancer-pve-guide-by-spoj/ – spoj’s guide to power necro
this one – lifeleech sustain option for harder battles

this one – lifeleech with minions ultimate sustain option for very hard battles

this one – it’s only for soloing crystaline entities in arah p1 – since they are immune to conditions, you don’t need to take Target The Weak. if you have lifeleech food you can solo them without leaving the light even once. the rotation is something like that: locust swarm > spam auto until you’re like with 10 light stacks, use heal and go into plague form. when it ends, immediately locust swarm, both wells, heal, after wells disappear go into death shroud and cast 5 and 4. now leave death shroud and finish them if they’re still alive. if all went well you should be at around 25 light stacks
i just made a video on that (with an unfortunate lvl up but it doesn’t matter)

condition build – quick guide yet it has most important things like rotations and traits
