Solo vs. Group Horrific Visions

Solo

Pros

Cons

Due to low scaling, your cooldowns are capable of killing troublesome enemies very quickly.
Full benefit from the Titanic Research upgrade, Expertise d’assainissement singulière.
Full benefit from Extermination d’élite, as only the player who lands a killing blow gains Sanity.
Full benefit from Vials hidden throughout the city, as only one person can benefit from a vial.
Able to earn the feat of strength achievement, L’antre de la folie, awarding the title "<name> the Faceless One"

If you die or hit 0 Sanity, your run is over as there is nobody that can revive you. Défibrillation crânienne d’urgence can save you once.
Nobody to cover for you if you get disconnected from the game for whatever reason.
Only some classes and roles may have high efficiency at clearing Horrific Visions solo.
If you are a healer queueing solo, you'll need to play a DPS spec, Tank spec, or do high damage as your healer spec to be efficient.

Group

Pros

Cons

Able to divide and conquer objectives that require both killing enemies and interacting with objects. This makes completing some objectives faster.
Able to use Stabilisateur spirituel synchronisé, which is very useful overall to keeping Sanity levels high across the group.
More benefit from Pensée expansive as the effect stacks for each player that has it talented.
Players can revive each other by donating half of their remaining Sanity to their ally that has died or hit 0 Sanity.
More utility available to interrupt deadly casts.
Classes and roles that may underperform or players with low cloak levels in this kind of content can be helped along by their friends.
Healers and Tanks are pretty useful.
Tradeable loot at the end of the vision.

Enemy health scales significantly per player. In most cases, this will result in enemies taking longer to kill in a group.
Some Madness and Faceless Masks effects affect other players as well. Folie : Ombres terrifiantes, the fire pools spawned from Folie : Pieds brûlés, Masque sans-visage de sombre imagination, and the void zones spawned by Masque sans-visage du pont brûlé are visible to all players and are affected by them even if they aren't the source of them. This can lead to hectic gameplay.
Some enemies cast their abilities on all players, potentially causing more void zones to spawn.
Diminished effects on Expertise d’assainissement singulière.
Diminished effect on Extermination d’élite, as only 1 member of your group will benefit from killing elites due to the killing blow requirement.
