If you have 75bst pretty much anything /bst lol. Jobs that get lots of chr gear and a way to heal themselves are even better.

Just about any job with "almost" any sub can be good at solo but it depends on what you kill.

Most likely for Ice spikes.
Still, compared to /BLU and its Cocoon...

yea i can see that, plus maybe rdm for stoneskin would be better.... iirc, that you simply need a mage sub for the wyv to cure you too, so blu and rdm etc.. would work out.

DRG -
Easy solo like Colibri outside WG - drg/blu and just spam foot kick when you need it

For challenging yourself as DRG at least both /rdm and /blu were fun and useful

THF -
Easy solos just sub NIN or RNG (useful for finding fun solos like Bloodtear) and use the occasional bloody bolt

For challenging yourself sub NIN and a healthy supply of blind and bloody bolts were useful along with a few acid bolts here and there

Phalanx is drg/rdm's strongest point, not Stoneskin <_< you'll never get it off midfight.

Many jobs are great at solo'ing

But jobs that do a very good job at straight soloing VT+ mobs are likely

Rdm
Drg
Blu
Nin
Thf
Dnc

Drg straight blood tanks and healing breath for 500+ with proper build.
Blu zergs it down.
Nin, Dnc Thf Evade the crap outa them.
And rdm i think it depends on the mob.

I only have 3 jobs leveled high, rdm, pup, and nin; all 3 of them can solo quite well, but in different ways. Everyone knows about rdm solo, so that's fine. As for the other two, I can take down the same types of mobs on both jobs, but I can do it faster as pup. Plus the whm frame can Cure V me for 700+ every 20 seconds if need be.
