Tuskertrap Advice?

[Kyrial]

So, this NM has one of the 2 abyssites I've not gotten yet, and I never see anyone fight him. Looking at the info on him at wiki, I guess I can see why. High-range AoE sleep that wipes shadows and damage often doesn't wake you from, and AoE paralyze+strong gravity? What a pain. Still, I'd like that abyssite. Anyone got any advice for taking him down that doesn't involve hitting red and beating him up before he un-freezes? XD

I've done this a few times on MNK solo but it highly depends on the job your using, if your MNK, THF, NIN, or DNC you can prolly solo it with a variable amount of difficulty with evasion/counter Atmas and main or sub DNC. It's acc isnt terribly great and it only has about 15-20k hp, but don't rely on evasion alone to solo it.

Sophorific won't wipe your shadows, but you won't be woken up when he hits you either. And thats why it's dangerous because it's endrain effect gets higher the lower it's health is and can totaly waste you in a matter of a few hits.

tank at bridge, melee down mage up, the height difference should be sufficient and sopo is 15 distance I believe.

THF NIN or DNC standing at maximum melee range and a WHM standing directly behind the tank at the absolute maximum distance that he can cast on the tank. This will put the WHM outside AEO range of the NM.

Like many encounters described on Wiki, it sounds worse than it really is. All you really need is for the whm to not be in range of sleep and it's a win.

fought this NM to get a friend BLU leg seals, duo'd as NIN/WAR and BRD/WHM got red proc np, never had an issue with its sleeps. always fought it at its spawn point, just have to have mages at max casting distance
