this was at 92 if that counts <.<
BRD Ovni solo:



Atmas were RR/Deep Devourer/Mounted Champion. Moved out of the corner in the middle cuz i was lagging alot in that spot for some reason (as you could see).
THF didn't touch it, not even to tag TH. Was just there to grab +2s and was farming KIs in the back. Fight took about 52~ min altogether. :3

[Darkmagi]

Not gonna lie, that's just plain awful. Was soloable at 80 by mage jobs, and melee jobs at 85/90 with ease. Taking 52mins to solo a time spawn NM is pretty pathetic.

Umm, the latter two might be true.. but I remember needing a decent group (like of 6 or so) at level 80 >.> Abyssea wasn't broken yet, with only one atma...

While it's not impressive on any other jobs, BRD doesn't really qualify as strictly a mage or a DD >.> I found it moderately impressive, though it was a little lengthy, IMO

[Darkmagi]

Wasn't easy at 80, but extremely doable on rdm. BRD can easily be qualified as a DD in abyssea, and should be able to solo that in far less time.

[dasva]

If brd is a DD then every job except maybe sch is

[Darkmagi]

As far as damage capabilities to easily kill Ovni goes, brd is a DD.

[BruHaus]

BRD can easily parse well in competition with other DDs in Abyssea...with DD Atmas. Yeah, it can be done in far less time by a job such as NIN or DNC, they were probably using DD Atmas though (RR/GH/Apoc imma guess.) I was using RR/Mounted Champion/Deep Devourer;

Mounted Champion helps a ton because BRD has D Ranked Evasion, so I'll be getting hit frequently.

Deep Devourer because songs will go up a lot quicker.

RR is pretty obvious.

I could have done it with RR/GH/MC, but I was just playing it extra safe. I've actually done Ovni with RR/GH/SS in a group before, and my damage output was more than doubled.

You're also forgetting, like I just said, BRDs won't be evading as much as other jobs, making for frequent casting of Utsusemi, ontop of casting songs. It probably doesn't sound like much, but that will add up to a huge downtime on your DPS. Most parts of the fight I was also turned with double Paeons to heal to full in fear of a Vitrolic Barrage(Taru HP ~_~), while other jobs like THF/NIN/DNC have faster ways of recovery, like Waltz/Bloody Bolts. And with Ovni's Damage Taken- trait, the longer you take, the longer you're going to take.

[Darkmagi]

You should have been using better evasion gear, you would have probably been able to kill it with just RR/GH/dark depths(eva/crit if you won't be capped evasion before atma)+temps. Shouldn't have been getting hit nearly as much as you were from a visions NM. I don't believe you were using the en-haste knife either, should have used that and swapped off after procing haste.

[Nightfyre]

Deep Devourer because songs will go up a lot quicker.

Yeah, that's totally worth dropping GH or DD. Like Darkmagi said, should have gone with the eva/DPS setup and killed it much, much faster and more safely as well. Random Fail is that way

EDIT: Nice party macros.

[cdgreg]

Sucks for the other folks level 90+ waiting to kill ovni...

[shen]

I don't know if I'm being trolled.. but I don't think it's possible to Finale his Boost before it drops the following WS without some sort of song casting reduction gear, is it? If it can be done without devourer then that's a different story, but it's def not a waste of an Atma slot if that can't be done >.> I do agree with MC, even with capped evasion you'll still take damage from barrage.

[Darkmagi]

Yes it can, and you can also cast ni or ichi while it's mid animation and have no risk of dying too. Temps more than cover your damage taken by TP moves, you can paeon eva tank if you really need to get some hp up at a bad time.

[Prothescar]

emanuelle is that you?

[shen]

Well in any case I'll admit I didn't think BRD could solo Ovni. I feel trolled 'cuz you guys are making it seem like it's a commonplace solo >.> if it really is, maybe go with this version of the solo next time:

I could have done it with RR/GH/MC, but I was just playing it extra safe. I've actually done Ovni with RR/GH/SS in a group before, and my damage output was more than doubled.

Would look better than 52 min.

Yup, I do. I've done this multiple times. As I mentioned earlier this was KI farming and we happened to come across him, I wasn't geared for tanking. It didn't change too much, but it gets the job done.

Spoiler: show

Kila +2 / Twilight Knife / Hellish Bugle +1 / - /
Optical Hat / Evasion Torque / Elusive Earring / Elusive Earring
Scorpion Harness +1 / Seiryu's Kote / Heed Ring / Rajas Ring
Boxer's Mantle / Sveltesse Gouriz / Raven Hose / Choral Slippers

And this was literally the day the level 95 update came out (hence lvl 92 lol), Oynos Knives hadn't had a chance to be AH'd yet. Obv I own one now (it rawks).

I have a bad Fraps I was only able to record this one. This particular kill took 52 minutes. With RR/GH/MC, appropriate food and use of Evasion gear, it can, and has been, cut down to 35 min. Yes, this solo I was basically just doing what you had mentioned earlier, Deep Devourer for quick Finales(which was what "songs will go up a lot quicker." was directed at specifically.) I am aware that most WSs can be absorbed by shadows, but on numerous occasions I've been Ion Showered after Fluorescence, followed up by a 1k+ melee hit while I'm stunned and unable to act. Like I said, I was just playing it safe this time :D

emanuelle is that you?

no <.<

[Darkmagi]

I didn't realize this was an old video, sorry for being so harsh. This thread was just for fairly notable solos so it was rather silly to see a 52min solo of an easy NM lol.

[Robertfb]

sorry for the necrobump, but i felt this should go in this thread, after wondering if it was possible at 95, i finally got around to trying MG although at 99 and won easily. CA + efflux WoR one shotted her adds and took off 22%, kept her stunned with sudden lunge and delta thrusted her adds when they popped. delta thrust and heavy strike were doing 15% per round and easily finished her off.

[Atoreis]

Oh man I hope you trolling or else you will feel very bad when you read few incoming posts lol.

[Draylo]

That was done at lv80 I believe.
