When soloing anything on MNK that can cast Tier 3 -gas, I just save my TP so I can interrupt them with Asuran Fists.

Also, if you're gonna gear swap while boosting to hide the animation change, why not just not bother with the animation change to begin with? Does blinking every 15 seconds screw you up that much?

Due to lag at bad times the gearswap might not kill the animation. This could mean death.

I do change the animation the gear swap is just to cover this up. less likely to get GM'd (Got gm'd once for sliding choco jig at argus camp)

Unless your computer runs EXTREMELY slowly, this shouldn't happen if you do the gearswaps right. The key is to make sure that Chi Blast is the only animation that needs processing. Usually, if multiple animations need processing, the Chi Blast animation will go through after you gearswap, which can be troublesome. But, then again, as a job that has a JA that allows you to recover HP (Chakra for MNK and DNC roll for COR), this really isn't a problem at all, unless you get extremely unlucky and he decides to Vorpal. I have gearswaps in all of my JA macros for Fort, and it's to the point where I question the necessity of /NIN. Considering going COR/RDM or COR/BLM next time I do it.

I actually catch lag about 20-30% of the time and my pc doesn't run all that slowly. Its not the best but its not windows 98 either. It'll do a boost a second or so late then the next few boosts on the same macro line try to go at their regular time and get the x seconds left can't use JA message.

Well, the other day I did this as NIN/RDM, kiting him in circles in a square room 'other' than the one near where he is popped. Spamming Elemental Ni spells for 100-150 each at about 3-5 casts per minute took a little over two hours.

In term of getting rid of the adds, it's partially a luck thing, but basically you have to get the JoF so far from his pets than when Fortitude loses aggro and the pets stop moving as well, the you can regrab him without the pets linking. At that time, the pets will return to whichever area they were popped from and just sit there until JoF dies.

Edit: I also see that you already did this, well grats on the kill and good luck on any subsequent runs.

Chakra is sirius buisness!

How does Ninja solo this? Just using poison and elemental wheel ninjutsu? What sub is recommended?

Again, I personally don't think it's actually possible to die on this (aside from Vorpal) once you get rid of the adds, as long as you're experienced with the fight and know how to handle it if you DO happen to get hit. Hell, at one point I had accidentally switched to a different window for about 10-15 seconds and was running into a wall and Fort landed about 4 hits on me, and I wasn't all too worried. So, as long as you know how to deal with it, even if the JA animation does happen to process for some reason, Fort should get at MOST two swings on you before you get back out of melee range. Then proceed to get about 20'-25' on him and recast Ni, and you're fine.
