Shiro solo still possible ?

I was wondering if it's still possible to solo shiro. I tried 2 builds and I mainly got owned, rarely dropping shiro's hp to the moment he started using impossible odds.

1 - Jagged Strike, Wild Strike, Moebius Strike, Death Blossom, Critical Defense, Critical Agility, Critical Eye, Way of Perfection.

2 - Golden Phoenix Strike, Critical Strike, Moebius Strike, Death Blossom, Critical Defense, Critical Agility, Mystic Regeneration, Way of Perfection

I don't know if I'm just poor at using these builds or they don't work anymore.

I use build #2 to solo him many times on HM, although you very rarely get masters. Although the build does fail about 2/5 times. But you shouldn't really be having any problems.

I use build #3 to solo shiro. That with a SS and SV necro, get masters all the time.

Here is build #3:

[Shiro Solo;OwBj0tf44SlZ+PHMDQ1gEQxZuMA]

Build 1 sucks because of Jagged, he sends it back to you too easily. Build 2 sucks because no Wild Strike to remove Battle Scars, which later on with Impossible Odds is annoying as heck.

this is pretty slow but only relies on mhenlos healing,no other party members

^close but not quite

[golden phoenix strike] [death blossom] [moebius strike] [critical strike] [critical defenses] [critical agility] [wild blow] [way of perfection]

Think it took me roughly 3-5 minutes to kill him by my lonesome. However its easier that way then with pugs =.=. Dont expect masters

You can use heroes as they don't get banished. Also use Ravagers build simply because well it is the best of the 3 posted.

essentially the same build,i have to use 1234 for this build for reasons i wont mention and didnt like [critical strike] throwing the combo off (sounds weird i know, makes sense to me). found too that with 550 ish HP that i normally run on my sin had no need for [way of perfection]. [dash] to take the bore out of running to the cutscene

each to his own, but both definately work

[shadow refuge] over [way of perfection] imho
[wild blow] over [wild strike] in this instance

And I notice how no one even looks at my build... but whatever, I use that build for every place and have no trouble. My build can solo him in about 5 minutes or with 2 heroes in about 2.5 in Hard Mode. Reduce it by about 30 seconds to a minute in Normal Mode for each.

Your build lacks Moebius therefore no body cares

Its Ravager's 3rd Law

All PvE sin dagger builds that do not contain Moebius can and shall be ignored.

Nothing personal just the way the world works

Hm I'm gonna try my second build a few times more if it's supposed to be working sometimes.
I'll post my results when I have some time to try some of these builds you posted.
