Availability of HMPs, Riftcinders, Riftdross

The Rhapsody in Mauve...

It allows for rapid use of /fume, but even that sucks, because if you aren't on a job that can pull hate, then the KI is useless.

None of the NMs that drop HMPs can be soloed at i119?

Depends, If you're at a spot like I am and can't purchase the Doom or Death Screens, then lots of the ones that do can out right kill you if you're alone, Pil comes to mind. Or if your ilvl job is SMN, then no... You're not going to 'solo' them and get anything worthwhile. My statement still stands correct, The KI is useless. BLMs can Manawall or Enmity Douse, and have the most procs for it, so they're free to pull hate after figuring out which procs they've already done and switch them, letting a trust take back over tanking. That's not the case for every job. I could most likely Clear the fight in a few minutes give or take. I'm not going to raise the lights unless I'm lucky enough to have the staff, or Avatar Procs show up. And if my pet has hate, I can't /fume. I could dismiss, /fume, and resummon, but with things that have have AoE Silence, Stun, Break, etc... It's not the best setup. But then that also going into things like BST, where 'leaving' a pet isn't cost effective and with the long timers for Call Beast and Bestial Loyalty, not a good call.
