When do you think we'll be able to solo Shadowbringers Extreme Trials?

Like the title says; when do you guys think it will be possible to try and solo the Shadowbringers Extreme Trials, like Innocence, Hades, etc.? I was wanting to try and start grinding them to grab the unique mounts, but I both haven't been able to get a party together and don't have much time to play these days, so learning when it would be possible to solo them would be nice.

I know it's not likely to be for quite a while, even with optimized 6.2 gear, even some Stormblood trials are just a bit too difficult to do solo right now, so it's going to be quite a long time before Shadowbringers is doable. Question is; when?

not on lvl 90 for sure, you will lack the DPS and some mechanics are undoable when you are allone, you just die.
Right now you can't even solo lvl 70 extremes.

Some of the lvl 70 EXs are soloable now, more will be with another gear upgrade in 6.4, mechs will prevent some from being doable alone. Ive heard tell of some of the 70s savages being solod too. The easier shadowbringers fights might be in play by the end of this expack. Does Titania hit hard enough to kill me, or is my main concern the DPS check? Might be fun to test next time i get bored.

There might be a problem during the addphase and you will have to deal with a lot of adds because you cant soak all the puddles.

Happy guy solo'd all but a few of the savages. With WAR, of course.

Once you have the DPS to beat the enrage timer, the biggest issues are usually mechanics that inflict massive vulnerabilities and not being able to separate adds. Unlike most older fights, many fights now have some mechanic, such as a tank swap or only taking 1 hit from something, that would kill you otherwise.

I'm expecting maybe a couple fights would be doable sometime in the next expansion, where as others would require more health and damage you might not see for a couple expansions.

By 7.0 possible for a few cases, the rest I'd not bother with til 8.0, assuming progressions stays the same. Gerenally, you can handle things 20 levels lower solo farily easily, 10 levels lower in a party easily, but solo will be anywhere from rough to a nightmare.

I was thinking of the 3 big adds as part of the DPS check(along with the enrage of course), but you make a good point about the puddles. I wasnt sure if those would always spawn 8, or just spawn the number of people you brought like Suzie's DDR mech.

All 8 puddles do spawn. I was farming this fight with 6 people and we had to deal with 2 adds. These adds however do not have much health, so you might be able to just kill them before they explode and then pop and invulnerability to deal with the double fire stack (unless you only get targeted by one, in which case you should be fine).

The 3 big adds will be a problem however, since they'll tether together and get a massive defense buff since you won't be able to separate the two that need to be tanked.

My best guess is that by 7.0, SB extremes will be like HW extremes now as far as soloing is concerned.

And by 7.0, ShB extremes will be like SB extremes as far as duoing is concerned. I'm pretty sure all of SB extremes are duoable now with only a few mechanics to watch out for. Like others said, some are splitting enemies up so they dont' go invuln or a mechanic that kills you if you don't do it right.

ShB extremes probably won't be soloable for a while yet.
