Howdy everybody! Little heads up I'm a p99 refugee, so lots of this stuff is brand new to me.
With the help of the (insanely strong) summoned pet weapons I can give my skeleton, I've soloed fairly easily to about 70. I've been slowly but surely following the nooby guide on my imperium trinket upgrading (ugh that earring of solstice), and working my way through the plane flag unlocks.
Starting with the plane of air butterfly lady it was tough but doable with the things she spawns/summons since my pet is pre occupied. The plane of water fight seems virtually impossible though. You kill a little guardian in front of the actual boss, and then a TON of monsters spawn and one shot me.
They've seen through my feign death, they've seen through my circlet of shadow invis, and completely ignore my pet and just wallop me. After seven deaths and all of the funky mechanics I could try to get around it, I've got to ask for help. Am I doing something wrong, or not high enough level, or not geared enough or anything else?
Fwiw: The things that spawn are all low blue, and I have nearly 14k health due to some kind strangers and nice drops. I've felt very strong with my 4000 dot ticks and pet tanking until now, where I feel like I've definitely run into a wall.

It maybe you are not geared enough, I know some classes are a harder route than others so require a little more finesse some fights.
Are you a duo? solo? play with bots?

I've tried my best to solo everything up to this point, and I have a shaman bot I pull out for tougher situations. I got to 74 last night and someone gave my pet a backpack that made them basically unkillable, and I died and lost the pet lol
Thinking I may need to roll up a shadow knight for some survivability, or get to 75 today and try some of the tougher daily quests and try my luck at some gear drops

I believe you must be GoD flagged for the 75+ dailies.
I assume you are a Necro, and you are using the custom virus dot lines. Casters are one of the squishy classes so require a great deal of finesse in fights. The virus line if you are not using it will likely give you a huge boost, something to note is the spells are stackable so you can use them all on one mob.

Spot on, Nickro the necro! Gotten to 21k health, averaging about 5-6k per dot, but if something looks at me instead of my pet I fall over. Can't make it through the planes flag, no way I could do the GoD flag after it. Looks like the necro is going to the bench for a bit
Would shadow knight or maybe beastlord be more suitable for soloing?

I main a beastlord so I can confirm they are an excellent solo class, the pet is durable. SK is another excellent choice they do very well and in some cases are better than the beast, though at end game we suggest playing what you like many will help you on the journey to get there.

You can try to buy damascus cloth gears in bazaar (cloth damascus crate), with this your dots & lifetaps will be stronger, your AC will be better too
