mine--------
Ovni, berstuk and other seal nm's, khalamari back in the day lmao (with only one atma)

outside abyssea
skuld,urd, (had a hard time with those two but if you kite during trance it makes the fight 100x easier)

post a youtube link if you have it!

Solos... so many solos lol

Abyssea - pop NMs, random seal NMs, you name it and ive soloed it (within reason of course lol)

Outside of Abyssea - Cerberus (PITA, idk how i managed to do it but i did) Capracious Cassie, Atkorkamuy, Serket, Greater Amphiptere, Bune, Behemoth, and my favorite Fenrir Prime, and many, many more.

As for videos i wish i had some to post, but if you want my strats. i will be more then happy to share :)
Btw - for all my fights i havent used 2hr except for Cerberus (tbh i forget i have a 2hr in the heat of the moment lmao)

Xmar - Gilgamesh/Carbuncle - 90 DNC BST BLM BRD BLU

"heat of the moment"

i see what u did there...

Kalamari, the big turtle NM for creed collar, bertsuk, the bluffalo NM for dnc hand seals, the drg/pld NM for ToAU missions, gessho (to 50% before his clones ate me), yovra in sea.

It's easier to ask what I haven't solod lol

what haven't you solod? ;P i can think of many things that cant be XD

I've solo'd Hill Lizards, Sand Hares, Clippers, Land Worms... Oh, sorry.. you mean NMs... v.v I'm only lv42 on DNC. I ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY LOVE THIS JOB THOUGH.

Athamas, Funeral Apakullu, That bird NM in Abyssea Mis, the Lizzard NM in Abyssea Mis, Flame Skimmer, Khalamari, Those Grater Ampiteres when I get aggroed. =\ Heqet, Aquarius, Tegmine (for revenge from when I solo'd in Cape terrigan back in the day) Zaraal Ja Puuchka or whatever its name was and many more that i cannot seem to put my finger on.

My latest...

Strictly for revenge. :p

How come you didn't Violent Flourish before casting Ichi? wouldn't have taken 4 tries to get them up if you had.

We'll start with the fact that stun doesn't always last long enough to "guarantee" that ichi will cast. As I'm sure you can tell, that's the end of the fight. After using VF with varied success up to that point, I stopped using it. And exactly what difference did it make that I didn't use it?

Only once hasn't it done so for me.

Well, Stutter step has been proven to help with landing Violent Flourish, I also didn't see any gear swaps, so swapping in Etoile Casaque would have helped too. But that's besides the point, because trying with a chance of succeeding and failing is always better then not trying at all. To each his own I suppose.

I've soloed just about every pop NM in abyssea. I've soloed adze, usurper, ovni, cirein croin(can't believe that's a zone boss), the big worm NM in tahrongi that starts with a M but isn't glavoid, Long-Barreled Chariot, Ouzelum just to name a few.

I've almost mastered the art of soloing yaanei. I only mess up when I use the wrong tier of waltz(like he uses Hellish crescendo then I accident do a III instead of V and casts a -ga IV) but a -mdt set goes a long way on caturae NMs.

inside: sippoy, iratham, kutharei, yaanei (hard to easy), all 3 timed-pop ironclads (mis/att/vunk), hedjedjet, all 6 tier 2 vnms in visions/scars, briareus and his KIs. had other stuff but got an error replying, oh well.

outside: doomed toad, kraken and pugil vnm t2s, zirnitra, dont remember others

duoed smok with a mnk/nin friend. not solo but still fun

oupire right now. not the easiest due to spikes

hydra in wajaom woodlands. took 1 hr 29 min. got that super awesome axe. oddly it was the first time ive defeated it. my old LS years ago failed (75 cap stuff).

Stupid Tier 1 gob in Grauberg. I used Future Fabulous Atma, book shell, and an MDT set. 0/3 on his rare item for the next tier now... pretty standard/easy fight, but he makes me play a little defensively. First fight I used Fool's/Stalwart's and zerged through about 60% of his HP before it wore, lol.

Jailer of Temperance isn't that hard to solo, but you have to be willing to turn during Blunt mode. I use Vampiric Claws for slashing damage. Lex Talonis is just a little more dedication to soloing Temperance than I have right now.

My DNC can solo a few Visions zone NMs, but I haven't gone for anything further yet because I am still working on getting a Ni scroll for quick shadows... then I can also get my NIN to solo other NMs when I get the proper gear!

I would like to know what gears you guys are wearing. I havent macroed anything in yet and I am uncertan about what gear I should get. WHat do you wear when you;
WS
Gain TP
Other

I try to keep my sets fairly up-to-date on FFXIAH:
http://www.ffxiah.com/player/Lakshmi/Byrth#item-sets

If I am out soloing, I like Dark Depths as my third Atma. With that and Gnarled Horn, I pretty much never have to sacrifice any gear slots for Evasion.

Scylla so far was my toughest solo, big NMs are a lot scarier with only 1K HP instead of 2.5K :x

I have attempted to solo just about anything I've come across. I..usually succeed. The times I dont I tend to die within seconds lol. Hm I've soloed plenty of nms inside aby which I dont think are all that notable. Soloed many things outside aby as well including vnms such as yacumama, (okay I had a rng in pt with me but he was really just there for the kill for his gun). I did solo amarok once but his spikes/regen were a pain so after that had either a brd or a blm there purely for procs and dispel and aside from that told them not to do anything else (cause I wasnt bothered using finishing moves to get hate back if I lost it. Im so lazy sometimes).

I soloed the amphipteres in xarc_s/bcd_s plenty of times. Today I soloed dynamis xarc..thats not exactly the same thing I suppose but it was fun.

Usually I end up going RR/GH/SS for most things because I'm too cheap to spend brew on getting AoA, but for harder solos I'm becoming more fond of GH/SS/Future Fabulous for a nice mix of offense, evasion, HP, Haste (so I can wear stuff like Slither Gloves without really sacrificing haste), and magic defense (which is the only real concern; harder solos mean a greater chance bookshell's going to run out).

Probably my most difficult successful solo to date was Fuath; high defense + stun resistance (had to eat/heal a lot of agas) meant I couldn't do enough damage to kill her before bookshell wore off.
