    Low-manning such a mob is risky, dangerous i'd say.

    Omega is weaksauce. SAM gets gunpods. PLD can be replaced by NIN/DRK, but i always felt more comfortable with PLD, not to mention Atonement helps kill time.

    Both Ultima and Omega are pretty easy to tank as RDM/NIN, not any more difficult than PLD/NIN or NIN/DRK for the most part, it's slightly more of a pain to get hate back after a hate reset than it is on the other options, but for the most part making/holding hate is easy, and the survaviability is nice. Ultima is pretty rough with no Slow/Elegy on, but that goes for all tanking jobs I would assume. With a proper magic reduction set CB is a joke, toss up a fresh stoneskin while he's counting down and toss on your reduction set, it barely makes a dent.

    RDM/NIN solo tank on ultima or omega is bad news, but with a PLD or NIN/DRK co-tank it's a breeze. It may just be me, but when I RDM/NIN tank, I have a tough time getting hate back after CB, Pile Pitch, or Colossal Blow, and they aren't all going to get stunned. Chainspell is a freebie once per fight, but beyond that you're pretty much boned unless convert is up, and even then it won't cut it late in the fight.

    Yeah, I got Dispel mixed up with Flash for VE/CE figures sorry.

    RDMs does get hate up at a slower rate (CE spikes are way lower than VE spikes) and after moves like CB, lots of CE will be removed, and getting them back fast is considerably harder than a NIN/DRK.
