Video | Soloing SSNM 1st and 2nd Bosses (Warrior)
It took me a good "few" tires~
1st Boss:
2nd Boss:
The 3rd boss is not soloable.
As for the 2nd boss, I spent at least 40 tries on him alone. Every time I got to the burn phase, I only got him to 12%, no matter how well I played. It may not be a complete clear, but I decided to call it good enough, as the tries are starting to get costly in the long run.
Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, I guess? :P
Thanks! Took a day's worth of effort but got it done!
U used Backstab>chargin slash>BD>combative strike>pounce>RoB and boss already had 10 edge on him. If you've scythed before doing that, chaining you'd have done nice dmg, and generated 6 edge, assuming u use backstab havin 10 edge to get closer, that's still 4 edge missed. I think this, along with other little things (like having 8 edge, and using combative>rob instead of just poison blade(using nocts)>scythe) is the little dmg you are needing to finish it!
Also, Traverse Cut's buff runs out when boss is at 13%, it's not much, but everything helps to burn!
I think that's the 2% you are missing and i think you can do it! I hope you see this as something good that makes u want to keep trying, cuz it's what i'm trying to do!
Also i personally do some stuff different, but what i like about this class is how players do thing different. Ofcourse, watching the video and analyzing it is much easier than actually being there trying to defeat the boss, like a mad man pressing buttons and watching what's on cd and what isn't.
Still, it's a great run, but don't limit yourself to 12% 2nd boss, you can go further
My RoB is on 2, and my Brooch is on Shift+2, so it's convenient for me to use the Brooch while doing RoB. I had to chain into RoB, or risk losing time due to me [filtered] up my buttons (which happens a lot unfortunately, if I try to use it while doing other skills).
Also, even if I had done a full 10 edge scythe for the last scythe, it still wouldn't have been enough, there was like a second left after the scythe before the wipe.
I may be able to do it with a Slaying crystal, but I'm not going to try it for a while.
Remember, "I only got him to 12%, no matter how well I played". I cherry picked the run I got him the lowest for the video. And oh boy how many tries I did...
Noticed you used pounce still though, any reason?
– You didn't bother enraging Dakuryon when it's a huge damage boost.
– You should be slaying this imo. (it's not necessary but if you're having difficulties at the burn phase it helps, and makes the whole run faster too)
– You wasted too many edges for no reason when the burn phase started. Just scythe right away.
– You're not taking advantage of blade draw resets. The one time it did reset you went and did combative -> RoB when you could've done PB -> traverse -> BD or even rising fury -> BD
– Your deadly gamble rotation is bad. Charging -> BD, CS -> RoB, Charging -> BD, CS -> RoB on repeat is not what you should be doing. On deadly gamble you have the occasion to get many more BDs in, for example, Charging -> BD, then if blade draw resets rising fury -> BD or CS -> traverse -> BD, or if blade draw didn't reset then you can poison blade (CS if somehow PB is on CD), then Charging, and considering your ping, even with a 9% aspd topline, BD should be off CD to chain after charging slash.
– Also pounce is garbage, there is no reason to use it? It's like I use literally use it once every two weeks in PvE.
Not to diss your play of course. Just pointing out where I think you could improve.
Read the comment above~
Also, I'll be trying this a few times more... we'll see if the things people have said helps
Ayyyy... just kidding. I'm not that skilled (and neither is my PC)
I bow to your superior soloness. One day I hope to be able to solo endgame group dungeons as well. You are an inspiration to us ones. Solidarity in anti-solidarity! I mean honestly. Groups are all well and good, but everybody knows that if you want something done right, you do it yourself. And you dun did it.
Get double enraged dmg increase rolls on weap(change 9% AS for enraged dmg), then ethier keep +3 or change it for 4.5% AS, and ofcourse enrage it asap going into d-stance 1st.
No, I like my 9% attack speed roll. I use my swords for PvP too and Enraged Damage would do nothing there.
I think what makes Warriors even able to solo dungeons is the insane amount of iframes they have, and most of them without a cooldown.
Also thanks! I appreciate that! Even tho I didn't fully clear it.
