*If I can solo all the content at +4/x8 and still get that AV at the end without IOs then something might be overpowered. However, soloing that kind of content with enough IO investment just sounds like things are working as intended.
Though, I think "ALL" content at +4/x8 is a bit hyperbole. I've yet to see someone do all content equally with ease.
You caught me Rylas...It was hyperbole (that's why I added the "I'm not quite there though")...
But IMHO, it should be impossible to solo regardless of build/level/IO sets anything at +4/x8. Even Superman has his limits...and sometimes even he needs his friends to help him out. And this is more a philosophical question that we'd all have to get on the same page before we look at solutions to how that would work. If the overwhelming consensus is "no...no...no, I need to be UBER and be able to defeat anything" then it's pointless to debate, because we aren't even in the same mindset to have the discussion. I'm not saying wanting to be UBER is bad or wrong, just for me, it's not fun. I want the challenge. I want to know that even with the best build, there is only like a 5% chance I could solo an AV at +3, and there is no chance, w/o help, that I could do it at +4. That's my mindset...And if we go with my mindset, then we have to include IO's in the discussion. But like I said, if you disagree, you disagree, and that's OK. I think I'm sadly in the minority here, and like 0th power said, I'll still probably play...just won't have quite as much fun...
