Is it true with the right skills you don't need backup?

You mean solo stuff? As in, all alone with no heroes and stuff?

Then, yes.

Technically yes, with the right build you could solo everything, but it would only work for that specific case. In some cases builds work in a variety of places also.

You cannot do the whole game solo without henchmen, heroes or other people.

You can farm certain areas with a solo build.

There are plenty of solo builds for different areas. Check PvXWiki and The Campfire for some of them.

Its also true that playing the game in this way would be very boring and at times frustrating.

Playing with friends in the best way to enjoy the game, with heroes and henchmen next and solo farming builds a poor third.

The solo builds are just really to maximise the chances of getting the treasures dropped all to yourself.

cant wait till GW2 comes out (crosses fingers) where supposedly there is no advantage to solo farming

you can solo, but no one can solo every area and do every thing like farming and running and all things, besides its much more fun to play with your friends. even the perma sins can be ruined by a few things.
