Are captains capable of soloing difficult content?

[MandoMigz]

For example, 3 man fellowship quests? Certain instances? I have heard some classes are able to, I was wondering if captains are one of them?

Short answer: Yes.

School and Library, both 3-mans, can be solo'd safely. Your mileage may vary with more challenging content based on your skill, the line you run, and your gear, but it's not impossible for a captain to handle group content solo.

varobun1 did one of the T1 skraids a few months ago : Assault on the Ringwraiths' Lair skraid solo Captain

T1 skraids are faceroll, but the last fight of this one is not easy, even for Guardians.

I think that was when bleeds procced Noble Mark heals. If so, I doubt it would still be possible.

I'd think blue line is more than capable of soloing the easy t1 skraids, aside from some nasty LE combos.

I find that Captain's can do some of the small stuff on level (3-man's) especially when traited with some combo of yellow and blue. Slow going though, which is to be expected. Anything more than that on level would be difficult for most any Captain, though there may be some rare exceptions.

Yes, captains are quite good at soloing instances in any line. For example, unless you get a particularly brutal bunch of LTs in a skraid, most are soloable.

Some think a captain can only solo stuff on yellow which is completely wrong,

You can solo library/school on red if you play your skills right, captain is all about manipulating the percentages.
The most popular trick on red line for a big group is

1- Agroing
2- Withdrawl (You WILL survive for a considrable long time if you are on level)
3- Standard of war
4- AoE bleed (Grave wound on a mob with cutting attack effect active on it)
5- Spam smaller AoE attacks like Pressing attack and Routing cry and heal if you must
6- You can add to arms and Time of need in the previous steps and other skills if your choosing.

They will drop like flies before you know it. it's much faster then yellow line even though yellow line is much safer.
Ofcourse it's not recommanded for skraids, that would be completely idiotic.
