I need some advice for soloing lvl 22 strikes

I'm getting a little annoyed and I'm not sure if I have a glitch or not. I'm trying to do the weekly strike now at lvl 22. Right now it's the nexus on venus. I have gotten all the way to the boss but I keep dying right after the boss spawns the mobs for the first time. I am using solar damage special weapons and heavy weapons. I do not have a solar damage primary weapon. I'm in all blue gear with a lvl of 22. I seem to do better with the machine gun instead of the rocket launcher. When the boss spawns the mobs he spawns them on both sides of the area I'm at and I am down after a couple of hits. The mob is highly spread out and I swear those solar damage hobgoblins kill me in one hit if the regular goblins do not get me first. I have tried to fly over the area right when I see that light and smoke appear but the boss usually kills me before I land for as soon as I land with his AOE lasers. As I hide between the walls and structures on the map I have tried to deal with the mob but it doesn't work out. I have tried to kite the mob and focus all fire on the boss but that doesn't work at all. What am I missing? I want my 3 strange coins. Now this next part is where I think I [b]may[/b] have a glitch. When I first select the weekly strike mission from the navigator screen and launch it does not search for guardians. I do not get the circle that states its searching for guardians like I used to. It just automatically loads the entrance area to the strike extremely quickly. Faster than the woman narrator can finish the last bit of what shes saying. When i try to connect to the crucible I get that circle but I'm there for 10-15 minutes per match. I haven't experienced a whole lot of lag and I haven't been having any internet trouble for a good long while which is rare for me. I used to get a team in 20-45 seconds or maybe a minute if I was online during odd hours. Is that normal now? Thank you for all helpful replies.

  • There is no matchmaking,that is why. I found it extremely helpfull having a solar damag machine gun with decent stability. That thing takes care of the trash mobs extremely fast. I also saved my super for minions incase I needed to make a quick getaway. Shoot at the boss when you have cleared the minions. When you see the dark clouds or notice movement on the radar, stop shooting at the boss and take care of the minions. Note. Remember to move while you shoot the boss because he tends to come closer to you. If you get cornered with mobs and boss shooting right next to you, you are -blam!-ed. I did it solo at level 26 and wasn`t that hard.
