Which level to stay?

[Zylx]

Really?
I only played lvl 13 and being in a party extremely helped alot in there.

I'm dead serious. Before doing any runs on a given day, i'd debate whether or not to go in a PuG or just go solo, just in case i run into helena. Often times when i go into a PuG, everyone's poorly geared or inexperienced, or just plain gives up and so when we reach helena, she's set at that level for the remainder of the match. It took me 30mins+ with a PuG and only ~8mins solo.

I guess it's different if you run with a pre-organized party of same-level players who are well-prepared for the battle. PuGs were dreadful. I had no friends at my level, so i was stuck with them or solo.

Soloing was easy.
