Was Ambuscade too popular?

yeah this is disappointing - gear with a pet job on it and ZERO pet stats for one thing - and replacing the only soloable event in the game with one designed to thwart soloers. Way to kill my desire to play SE.

Does it really? You keep saying things like this, but if I recall correctly, you were struggling with even the NORMAL dragon last month. Eventually, you're just going to have to admit your gear simply isn't good enough for current content- solo or not. Maybe Ambuscade just isn't what you should be doing right now.

EDIT: I just soloed the Demon duo on Very Easy playing an undergeared RNG. No bells and whistles like REM weapons. I literally just stood there, used ranged attacks, and used weaponskills at 1000 TP. Trusts were August, Gessho, Apururu, King of Hearts, and Cherukiki. To be fair, I would not have used Cherukiki if I had remembered she doesn't give a rat's hindquarters about status removal, there are others that do. Between three healing trusts, surely ONE of them will remove Doom.

So there, the very easiest mode is soloable by what has traditionally been considered one of those worst soloing jobs in the game. So the fight, is in fact, very soloable. Just maybe not on the difficulty you want to do it on.
