Naked RDM/NIN Avatar Battles - Soloed with Only Swords

[Oliveman]

After refusing to believe that you needed good gear to solo, I took on some of the lower-end solo fights and amped up the difficulty by wearing no gear except for a Martial Anelace and a Joyeuse. After a long time, I finally was able to master the skills of naked soloing, and compile videos of each fight, and one of all fights at once.

My hope is that while these videos are meant to be funny, they can be helpful to other RDMs trying to learn the fundamentals of RDM/NIN soloing. Because the only difficult item to get here is the Joyeuse, it's not a stretch to say every RDM can do this.

To everyone who has overcome great challenges and been able to look back at them and laugh in celebration, here are the videos:

I can do it without the sword. Would you like a cookie?

[Raen Ryong]

Why are you not Composuring your important buffs

I hate being so critical as well, but the avatar fights aren't representative of the majority of decent RDM solos <_< good job naked though!

[Oliveman]

The Ifrit fight was done before the composure update, so it was excluded to provide continuity as well as an extra limitation.

As I said, this was to illustrate a bare-bones style of RDM/NIN soloing, specially melee soloing. I know experienced soloers have accomplished a lot more. This is something completely different, for everyone's enjoyment.

This sure is a cheerful crowd ^^

I love how people try to make themselves famous for doing something so easy

Yeah I'm sure that's exactly what he was trying to do.

You're all retarded. He pointed out that these were "low end" solo fights to help some people, probably those who think RDM solo is harder than it is, understand that they can do it too with some time and practice. And for some laughs too.

The problem is no one cares? soloing Avatar and beeing impressed is soo 2006-2007.

Show me a PLD naked that can solo avatar and people might care, but that would be so boring that no one would try it. (lol pld h2h skill)

For me this ring Attention whore or time wasted

No. He's done this before, and he does it because he thinks he's good, and what he's doing is hard.

In the end, he's a below-average player and pretty much anyone with half a brain can do the things he brag about. His own fault for bringing it to BG, should have kept it on QCDN.
Did the same thing on KI a long time ago, about some ZM fight, where he also got shot down.

I'm not going to waste my time watching the videos but I'm going to take a guess that there was a "LOL I SOLOD IT NAKED" in ls chat after each fight

[Ecki]

Wow, good job!

[Alyric]

I remember training myself for RDM soloing. It's pretty simple, you go to youtube, you type in "Avesta ffxi" and you're good to go.

Observation skills, you have them, put them to work.

[Cairthenn]

Fenrir is actually good initial practice, and it's the only one he didn't do (well, Diabolos..).
