Most of the its content that required a group to complete just one year ago can now be completed solo.\u00a0 However, raids are the exception to this rule: they can still be a bit difficult to complete on your own, even if your Dragonflight character is fully optimized.\u00a0 While Shadowlands raids can technically be completed solo, there are still far too many parameters to have a smooth run. Even trying to attempt Shadowlands bosses on Normal difficulty by yourself can be a challenging task, as they all have challenging mechanics to deal with. If you go into a raid solo, you\u2019ll be absorbing all that separate roles\u2014Tanks, Healers, and DPS\u2014usually deal with. To survive everything, you\u2019ll likely have to play a tank or a Melee DPS with enough cooldowns to mitigate damage effectively, and even then, the experience can be difficult.\u00a0 Related: Alliance and Horde extend peace talks: Cross-faction guilds are coming to WoW soon We recommend getting a group together if you want to run Shadowlands raids for mounts and transmog.

Getting a small group together will make the experience far less painful and will allow you to complete the entirety of each Shadowlands raid smoothly, even on Mythic difficulty. For reference, currently soloing a Shadowlands raid on Normal difficulty is about as hard as running a Mythic-level Battle for Azeroth raid on your own.\u00a0 Soloing Shadowlands raids is borderline impossible in the current state of Dragonflight, although the experience will likely get easier as the expansion goes on and our characters get more powerful gear. By the time the last raid of Dragonflight launches, soloing Shadowlands raids, at least on Normal difficulty, should be a breeze.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/05082736\/17640-shadowlands-leveling-changes-spotlight.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819098"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819098"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":819112,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819098\/revisions\/819112"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819098"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=819098"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=819098"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=819098"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=819098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
