    Default Solo Elite Shroud - Tobril

    Yes, everyone else did this like 4 years ago.

    It's also easy at level 27 and destinies.


    That's fine.


    It's been on my bucket list for a long while though,
    and tonight I finally found time to do it.



    Apologies for the terrible video quality...FRAPS+VirtualDubMod is less than useful.

    I have switched to Bandicam and Handbrake for future videos.


    This is what happens when the Shavarath becomes coterminus with the prime material plane:

    Here is what a good part 2 pull looks like:

    Here is me solving puzzles...note I am pretty bad at it, even using the "solve down"
    algorithm on a 3x3 that could have been solved in a single step:

    Full run, again sorry about being split into multiple videos:

    Hi,

    Well done.

    I like trying to solo raids and am glad most of them don't have mechanisms specifically designed to prevent it.

    Shroud is a fun one, because having a strong character isn't enough by itself to get you through.

    Thanks.

    I'm curious as to what your pull was for part 2... I seem to get Fire and Cat all too often.

    Does that really say 81 minutes? If so, guess I can rule out a solo Elite Shroud on my lunch breaks

    I had a good pull on earlier attempts...and then
    messed up part 3 because I suck at puzzles and
    didn't realize more than one rainbow wall appears.

    :/


    This attempt was fire and cat, I did have to whack
    the crystal more than once due to only having a
    random thrower from the AH for lever shooting duty
    and spacing out on the order that the PDK speed boost
    and other boosts need to be activated.


    The time was 61 minutes, some of which were
    bio breaks between phases.

    You didn't just break the crystals and run water o0, that's pretty cool.

    Nice work. Theres no better way to get to know a raid than to solo it IMO. You never feel the same running it again in a group either once you have run it on your own. Like before your solo you always thought you needed the group to complete it.

    There are many challanges in soloing elite Shroud, they differ vastly depending on the class/build you take in there. Raids have also been rescaled multiple times over the past years, comparing what was done years ago to what is done today is like comparing night with day. Nice completion, I'd watch your video if you ever uploaded it.
