Best "solo" class and setup?
Looking for the strongest and most versatile class/skills/weapon setup for clutching on auric damnation, something that "can" (As long as you play good enough) deal with pretty much everything the game throws at you when you are solo, including bosses. Someone have any good setups?

Also interested in good curio stats for this? like is +stamina worth it?

Solo as in; your entire team is dead and you have to clutch... happens constantly in auric maelstrom

ogryn has good sustainability

but build your character around not getting down in the first place

Look up True Solo guides on web. Psyker can see it done due to skill ceiling.
Ogryn maybe able to.
Zealot maybe able to.
I dont think Veteran can anymore after the update. Not enough bullets. ReconVID crit melting build is just not fast enough in TTK to handle a boss in quick time, def not two at once solo targeting. I dont think even plasma cannon can achieve mini boss + boss killing in short order.

Now if we had solo mod with smart bots that we built and geared? It wouldnt be True Solo but yes i believe Auric Maelstrom would be soloable and alot more fun.

But honestly, running solo just takes so much longer overall. Like what could be a 24minute mission with 2 competent people and 2 brain deds, turns into a 45minute slog with only 1 competent person and ded bots. Aside from the big ♥♥♥♥ energy of saying im da best heretic slayer, youre not getting much completing a true solo. Though that satisfaction is pretty pretty mint.

Tell that to the animals who loose 95% of their hp pool within the first 2 minutes of an Auric maelstrom.... Every single auric maelstrom there is at minimum 1, often 2+ of these specimens, from the look of it you are probably one of them.

Definitely the zealot. I live for these moments because it makes the game more exciting lol. You definitely need the talent that gives you invincibility, healing after invincibility is over, and knockback every 10 secs on being hit.

My build is based on the original Zealot talents since it was already good for clutching. So i'm still using the dash, stun grenades, and crit build. I use a knife because it's good single and aoe damage with the right talents. The speed is very useful too. Very hard to get caught in a corner. You can also rush head on to range enemies if you're out of ammo (with dodge sliding of course). You can solo the bosses too. Only one you might have trouble with is chaos spawn depending on the situation. I usually just let it bleed to death.

Here's the build, you can change some things to your liking but this is what worked for me.

Right now assail psyker, because it requires zero brainpower to basically play the game for you. Easiest class to literally solo the game rn. And yes, there are true solo damnation+ players.

There is no specific class that can really help you here, all classes are good at specific things some are good at a lot of things but none are good at solo survive-ability, that quite literally comes down to player skill.

This game is so co-op heavy focused that if your entire team is dead and you're the last one, either clock the ♥♥♥♥ in and pop off or you're done.

Zealot. Can go down once every 120 seconds, regain hp, almost instantly fill up toughness and can use invisibility to make a run for it if the situation requires it.

Thats just objectively wrong though. The zealot can easily survive solo

you didn't even read what I said

Yeah the Zealot can be good for surviving solo if you know what the ♥♥♥♥ you're doing and are actually good at the game

"There is no specific class that can really help you here"
I literally refute your first claim, so how am I not reading what you wrote?
"but none are good at solo survive-ability"
Which is, again, just false as zealot has stealth, 2 lives, regen and access to weapons that can handle all types of threats. Comparatively zealot is OBJECTIVELY better.
