Got my wings yesterday thanks to this guides! Soloed all of them except for Roland. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I couldn't kill everything within the time limit.
It was the last set dungeon I needed and after spending the whole day trying to drop/upgrade into a Golden Flense (oh, yes, I mastered all dungeons with fresh seasonal toons) I gave up after 20+ tries and asked a friend to help me kill the mobs after completing the main objectives.

Welcome to my Set Dungeons Build Guides and Videos!
This thread has some general tips and tricks to completing all the Set Dungeons, as well as individual builds and example videos of how to complete each Set Dungeon SOLO!. The videos and guides are based on the current live Patch 2.4, rather than the various PTR (Public Test Realm) versions where Blizzard were balancing the Set Dungeons. If you get assistance with the Set Dungeons, the majority of these are much easier to complete, but I can't really give you many tips there as I've done all of these solo.

Some general comments and tips:
Below is the overall difficulty of each Set Dungeon - Easiest to Hardest based on my own experiences roughly (your own attempts may vary!). I've started with Easiest so it's clear for anyone wanting to get the Conquest to Master 8 Set Dungeons. Note that the rankings below are just a general idea, it will greatly depend on how comfortable you are with the class and set, as well as supporting gear and RNG in the Set Dungeons.

Sorry I rarely check diablofans anymore, Season 6 kind of killed my enjoyment of the game with the Firebug issues and all.
Anyhow, I just checked all the links in Chrome and Firefox and they appear to work for me, could you post specifically what Guide you're trying to look at and what browser you are using? That way I can refer it to a mod if it's something I can't fix by editing, thanks!

Unfortunately the main problem with what you're trying to explain with the way you completed the Set Dungeons is that this thread is not designed for people who play this game extensively like you and me and who can figure out various ways of completing the Set Dungeons. If you are able to do so then you have no need for guides and assistance, which is basically how I've attempted every single dungeon myself, but your opinions on what you felt were difficult dungeons are duly noted. The simple fact is that the majority of the people who attempt Set Dungeons WILL have problems with a lot of these dungeons, because they simply don't know skills/items/mechanics exist no matter how many times they attempt the Set Dungeons, and this is who the target audience is.
My guides provide people an OPTION for clearing the Set Dungeons with items they should look for, and I update the guides to make the Set Dungeons EASIER to complete solo, not HARDER. If you want to make your own guides explaining how you've completed these Set Dungeons with the bare minimum gear required, feel free to do so and link them here!
I'll just reiterate once more that the rankings are purely MY opinion, which is based off a combination of how hard I found them to be and how I felt an average player with basic knowledge of the class would find them to be. You've attempted the Set Dungeons in your own particular way and that's cool, I did a bunch on both Seasonal Softcore and Hardcore so I know its definitely possible to do a lot of these with minimal paragons gear.
You also need to understand that the reason a lot of people are having issues with sets like Firebirds and Jade Harvester is simply that they are the Starter Set you get from Haedrig's Gifts. As a result, even casual players who know very little about the game will be attempting the starter Set Dungeon (there have been quite a few people who have asked me about Elective Mode). As long as you accept the fact that your rankings are not the be all and end all of rankings and that inevitably people will find things harder than others, lets leave it at that.

You can find general information and Set Dungeon guides for the other classes at my Set Dungeon Thread.
This thread lists the builds for each Wizard Set Dungeon and associated Mastery requirements, and each build has an attached Video of the Mastery clear. I found the Firebirds Set Dungeon to be quite interesting in terms of setting up your build and items to hit a sweet spot in terms of damage and toughness. The Delseres Set Dungeon was a little tedious due to having to hope for good monster spawns in order to clear certain objectives. Overall the Wizard has the highest difficulty dungeons.

This thread lists the builds for each Witch Doctor Set Dungeon and associated Mastery requirements, and each build has an attached Video of the Mastery clear. I found the Jade Harvester Set Dungeon to be very annoying due to the invisible monsters which spawn in the Set Dungeon.

This thread lists the builds for each Monk Set Dungeon and associated Mastery requirements, and each build has an attached Video of the Mastery clear. I found most of these Set Dungeons to be of easy to average difficulty, with the abundance of left over gear from last season/patch Monk meta helping out a great deal. I found I could recycle a lot of my monk build concepts between the Sets, mainly consisting of stacking as much Cooldown Reduction, Spirit Generation and Resource Cost Reduction as possible.

This thread lists the builds for each Demon Hunter Set Dungeon and associated Mastery requirements, and each build has an attached Video of the Mastery clear. I found most of these to be really simple, the most time consuming Set Dungeon for Demon Hunters being the Unhallowed Essence Set Dungeon, due to fact that you need to get monsters to cluster up so you can hit 20 of them with a single multishot, 6 times.

This thread lists the builds for each Crusader Set Dungeon and associated Mastery requirements, and each build has an attached Video of the Mastery clear. As I did the Mastery clears for these Set Dungeons in Seasons, I was missing a lot of gear and wasn't very optimised, so the videos attached may not necessarily reflect what I feel is the best build (especially in the case of the Akkhans Set Dungeon) and I'm happy to take advice on improving the builds.

As you'll see in my updated Firebirds Set Dungeon Mastery video, I actually did it without Talisman of Aranoch, but it requires very good positioning and dodging as well as the usual bit of luck with monster spawns.
In terms of difficulty of the Set Dungeons for the classes overall solo, I'd rank them (easiest to hardest):
Basically the Wizard Set Dungeons have a lot of middle to hard-ish difficulty dungeons, while Witch Doctor and Barbarian have one super difficult dungeon. The Monk has middle difficulty dungeons while the Demon Hunter and Crusader have mostly simple dungeons.
The primary stat on your supporting gear doesn't really matter at all, most of these Set Dungeons don't require high damage output, so items like Intelligence Leoric's Crowns, Illusory Boots, rings etc are all usable in the Dexterity Set Dungeons. It's more about the Legendary Power than the stats on the gear usually.
