I was wondering if anyone happens to know what jobs can solo WotG Mission 7: Purple, The New Black? I currently have SMN, COR, PUP @ 75 and RDM at 72, but did not know if any of those jobs would be able to do it.

I have seen some testimonials from BLM, BST, BLU, and RDM stating they could solo it. I don't know that a RDM 72 could though. Any suggestions you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. (I have checked with LS mates and friends, but no one either cares to do the missions or don't have time to help)

I soloed it on BST. Basically just use a jug pet, let the Call Beast timer wear down, then engage and keep the pet tanking as much as you can. Most likely will need a second pet, otherwise it's not too hard.

I'm not sure if that strategy is something that could extend to PUP or SMN.

Well...I don't think any of those jobs aside from SMN can, and even then it's a matter of your MP being able to BP everytime up and still have enough to summon so you don't time out. But I've never seen a great PUP.

RDM at 74 can I'd imagine due to Ni. Only jobs I know of that can solo easily is PLD and NIN/DNC. DNC/NIN I'd assume can as well. Just need to turn anytime he preps something...stone glare is pretty quick.

I imagine Sam/Dnc can solo if they dont get hit with petrify

-edit-
Smn could possibly do it.... Im not to positive though.
