It is soloable already! Yesterday I went all the way from Zodiac to the Beast on my own, not in a team and I did not even have my pets up! Everything around me just died as I approached. It was really amazing! 
OK, there were a lot of other people following me about and they seemed very busy, but I am sure they had nothing to do with it.
