I remember Square Enix talk about outside of abyssea VNM where going too be easy too solo but i don't see that @ all sometimes the VNM SPAMM 2hrs which makes it a harder fight sometimes some mobs can't be solo since some are in fact over power...
Also Wish the timer for VNM DEAD was reduce from 1hour too 30mins yes please.

Only issue with VNM I see is that they actually hit for 350+ a punch still. 15 more levels and it is worth zero for damage reduction.
Hmm, I am able to solo most VNM, as are alot of my friends. They all require a specific method usually though, so spawning them and just attacking like you would a T mob usually will not work. Which VNMs are you having trouble with? I might be able to give you a strategy for killing them.

Solo Shoggoth/Skuld please.
Other than that they are all rather simple for T1~2.

Shoggoth is an annoying mob to try to solo, I know some rdms have done it but it kept despawning on me when I tried. Fairly easy trio though, funny it takes as much manpower as the last few aby trials.

You're right, he is a pain. I personally can't solo him. I haven't tried, but I can just tell you that I can't just from what I have seen of him. I don't have a job like rdm to try it that way anyways.

Me and a couple friends couldn't figure out a good method to trio Lamprey Lord. Would love to hear how to pull that one off >_>

For one White Mage and two melee: Gird your loins and prepare for Lamprey Lord to have higher accuracy and whatnot than you expect. Use Esuna to deal with Acid Mist, because Acid Mist always sucks. Remove the Poison inflicted by en-poison right away, because this Poison sucks. Hit the vile thing with pointy things until it no longer clings to life.
There might be an easier way, but that's how my friends and I did most of them.

The VNM t2 leech ?
I dual box it with a lvl 90 MNK and a 75 WHM, counterstance style.

I know capricornus has been giving me a hard time, as much as I try to stun, evade, blink, and damage mitigate recoil drive spam, it gets me every time. However, it wasn't the VNM I was after since I was after yacumama for my dagger trial. I am now on Feuerunke, gonna do my best to solo that one as DNC90/NIN45, this should be fun......

Run away when it 2 hours, very easy one to solo/duo.

Isn't it only during 2 hour that it takes melee damage? Sounds like a very slow solo method to run during it. Though all methods are faster than dying methods.

Feuerunke takes melee dmg no matter what, but it loses resistance during hundred fists. Capricornus spams recoil drive during it's 2hr. I never really tried kiting capricornus during mighty strikes though. I'll have to try that if I accidentally spawn it again. Thanks for the info.

As said before, MNK tank works well. Duo is tough though, since Acid Spray has hate reset. I used DNC MNK WHM RNG(75) on it successfully, RNG didn't really do anything and subbed /SCH for extra Poisona. DNC is great if you want to attempt a duo because it can cure it's own poison and has fast attacks in the case of hate reset.
