Funny story actually. And by "Funny", I mean annoying as all-hell. No matter what when we try to kill that NM (SCH/RDM, RDM/NIN, THF/NIN (for TH)), something will always come up. The RDM and THF are on the same internet and have a crappy ISP so that would generally end up to them disconnecting anywhere between 20% and 5% or so, on average. One day I just got fed up with it and decided to solo. I got it to 15% myself before running out of Shihei because I'm an idiot.

In the end, that was our 19th attempt, but only our second actual kill so we were really 1/2, not counting deaths, disconnects, and general misfortune.

I've duo'd salvage bosses... soloed sky gods... Killing an IT mob isn't exactly difficult assuming you know what you're doing.

Me and ls member duod Gration (lv 79 NM) 4 times in a row the other day. each kill took a little more than 1 hour lol. RDM/NIN x2 =P

Shouldn't take 1 hour with two people! If you play aggressively I reckon you can do it in 30 or so with 2 good RDM/NINs. Solo, my quickest time was about 40~ though this was "balls to the wall".

Blm/nin and Rdm/nin VS. Anyu-casyda (drops cinqueda)

-well over 70% triple attack rate.
-spams leaping cleave (1500+ Single target,through shadows)
-zone nuke/dot fight
-possibly a longer solo

Took 3 of us 1 blm/nin 2x rdm/nin about 15-20 minutes to dot/nuke this guy. He will litterly wipe your 3 shadows almost every time you hit the zone line. He has around 20,000 HP, is highly resistent to dark based spells/abilities, and is surrounded by sight and sound mobs. it's still surprisingly not to bad of a fight. I say we trio'd it, but I basically just stood there sneak and invis'd when the blm and the other rdm got into a rhythm.

Well I dont nessicarily qualify since we used items to get a spot of MP back... but my BF and I duo'd ZM16 against Eldnarche? :X Took us 4 tries and I was new to RDM/NIN... but we did it? :X

Used MP item on the second part of the battle. One each only. I has a lolvideo posted on youtube but I wont link unless anyone really wants to see that... hah.

Congrats to everyone!
And I think even just VT up to bigger solos of limbus and ENM's and other vicious NM's is still valid! Not everyone tries the harder stuff, and not everyone really wants to either. I like playing with my friends ;3

Meh most good blms can kill pets up until high 60s with just 1 flare. Well this was awhile there are new higher pet camps now so not sure really if they can go higher. I had to switch to Qiqirn after that /sigh

Naw, you and me on BLM.

I pull with Gravity, you cast Bliz IV right afterwards.

I follow up with Freeze II, and you cast Freeze II right after your Bliz IV hits, the Statue wouldn't hit either one of us.

We would be chain 5 300+ exp each.

Maybe get a dio or 2 out of it all.

He wants to know the quickest time it takes to kill an IT mob as a duo.

I gave an estimate.

I don't think you can kill any IT mob faster than a BLM/RDM duo. 10 seconds sounds about right if you have 2 very good BLM/RDMs.

I've never tried, but I'm guessing Genbu would be an easy solo. He's so slow anyways, just bio or nuke and kite. You might not even need gravity, that big hunking turtle is such a slowpoke! Just stun or trot out of range of his aga's and you'd be fine.

Literally any job could solo Genbu given enough time... ranged/magic users can pick at him from a distance, melee go /NIN and run out of range once you've lost shadows. THF or DNC would have a hell of a time of it though with such low base damage.

The lack of restrictions (namely 2 hours) make it kind of silly. Any number of jobs with strong 2hrs can literlly solo alot of different kinds of VT/ITs in seconds. Also specifics on when the clock starts were never given and can make a huge difference.

Farming pellets for Bloodlapper sucks, so I don't wanna repeat it, especially since I have Vicious Mufflers already.

As for Balor, see above, but replace 'pellets' with 'Codex' and 'Vicious Mufflers' with 'Swift Belt'.
