But if you're only interested in doing solo content and not tanking heroic instances then everything else works out just fine. :) Depends, I don’t solo, I group with two other friends and we try to take down heroic content in a trio (plus boxed alts) rather then a full group – if that’s your thing, then yes it makes it really difficult.

I don't think Lyriana has ever had a Mastercrafted piece of gear in her life. She does get Adept III's of her damage spells (excess loams get turned into Ad III buffs, the rest stay at AP IV) - I spend a fair amount of her time crafting to make this possible. Can I solo even con heroics? No, not really. Can I solo even con solo content? Yes, though I will concede that it gets a bit dangerous if you're in an area where it's hard not to get attacked by additional foes as you fight, especially if you need to kite. Can I gain an adventuring level per evening session by taking on blue content that I can handle? Absolutely. And I don't have your exp bonus for existing level 80's or that shiny new RAF mount. Is there really some whole other side to the game that I'd get to see if only I dropped everything to run around harvesting until I had enough rares to have a full MC gearset made?
