For Ifrit - it's worth noting that each nail applies a 3 second long stacking vulnerability up debuff, so if you're only 70 and die to nails, stop DPS every 3-4 nails to let the debuff wear off, and then resume.
Thanks. I'm new to the game and I was thinking I needed to put these off until level 80 based on having to take a few tries to beat Shiva solo at level 70. It doesn't seem like the first few have an equivalent to her defense debuff & ice boulder mechanics (since the latter is an instant loss solo). I may take a break from MSQ to pick a few of these up today.
I tried to do Shiva solo at 70 on MCH in level-boost and wasn't able to, solely due to her tankbuster - the one where she yeets ice blades at you; I forget the name. I could reliably get her to about 5-10% between 4800 HP potion, well timed DCD, and heal, but it was always just -barely- not enough. I went with someone else on 70 PLD and we cleaned her up easily. I anticipate that something like MNK with a bit more survivability might have been able to do it, but my MNK is only 55. I also anticipate that any tank job or anything with heals should be able to solo at 70.
@@ChickinSammich I actually tried it first on PLD at ~65 with gear more like 60, but found that my Clemency/MP couldn't keep up with the damage in the late phases either. My RDM was like 74, and I was eventually able to make that work with some dual-cast heals and moving out of melee range as much as possible after dual-cast GCDs
I was able to successfully solo all of these at 70 on rdm with only Ramuh really giving me some issues. All my jobs are lvl 80 but I could possibly use an alt to make lvl 70 walkthroughs of them as well. I wanna do some synced runs as well and see what, if anything, has changed and possibly do a guide on those too. At level 80 you can steamroll them all tho, I tried it on dnc, mcn, rdm, whm and nin and had no issues on any of them.
@@duncanmacleod6274 I successfully solo-ed with pld at lvl 70, so you're not far off! Just need better gear. Divine Veil directly before Clemency is a nice combo to do, since you can proc the shield.

Amazing, thanks for the guides!
Does this video only apply to unsynced?
Yeah, if you do it synced, you still have to do actual mechanics.
@@ChickinSammich Thought so. Thanks.
yeah 80 unsynced is where you can steamroll these. If you ever want to put a synced party together and are on aether, I am always up for it though.
@@MicaDoesStuff I'm on Primal, but thanks.
