    Besides I've seen this soloed on WHM/SCH, it's not hard. It can also be meleed during it's 2hr phases.
    This. You MAY be able to solo hard (relatively speaking) stuff in the game. But, that didn't go into its design. So, if you can't solo it, it's because it wasn't designed for you to solo it. It is an MMO and if you aren't purposely trolling, you are trolling none the less. Because, most players know this is an MMO, will read your post, and say "WTF?"

    A mob needs to be fixed because you can't solo it? Could always use a brew and banish it to death if it bothers you that much.

    Only thing I'll agree with is yes, it is pretty damn hard to trigger red on this due to it's constant flight. Not even sure if you can actually, even during it's 2hr phase when it can be meleed.

    Yeah that was my point. I'm just allergic to zero IQ posts. PLD is an exceptional job inside Abyssea, which people fail to realize because they only look at its role as a tank, which they've undoubtedly lost in almost all cases. Especially if you want to solo and still cover red and blue procs, it's arguably the best, so very well suited for Atma/Abyssite farm for Abyssea completion. It also has a few other great niche uses, but it's pointless even trying to explain it to some people. All they want is an Almace PLD with GH/RR/Apoc Atma dealing damage.

    Do it as a party.

    This post is definitly one of the dumbest requests i've ever seen.

    it's like asking to kill AV solo at lvl 1 ... SE design mobs to be killed a certain way get over it.

    SE wants to support many styles of play and soloing is a viable playstyle and I don't want to have to get a bunch of people to do something I should be able to do solo. They have put in many more ways to solo in FFXI FoVs for example.

    Making it so all melee jobs are useless against a certain NM is poor game design.

    Its not too much to ask for them to have this NM have ground phases like the other wyrms in the game. Being in the air all the time is just stupid and practically makes it required to have a mage job or ranger to kill it.

    aggroing--> cyclone --> deaggro until you get stagger

    then once you get stagger brew it with Aeolian Edge

    if you can't do that get a party if ya too lazy to do that please be too lazy to make posts like this...

    You're partly correct. They are expanding the play styles that can get more out of the game. Although it isn't that hard, this is considered an NM which is designed to be fought by more than one person. S/E does this so that you are forced to team up with other players. It's a major premise of the game. I imagine that you will not find support from S/E or many in the community who want to make every mob in the game a solo mob. Otherwise, we could just be playing a single player RPG with periodic new content downloaded from S/E.

    p.s. - Most of the mobs that have both ground and air phases require you to damage it a certain percent to make it come to the ground.

    I agree with Rezeak and many other players. The fact that you are bitching that a monster in an MMORPG is not killable solo shows you do not understand the nature of MMORPGS.

    I hate to sound like a twat but seriously: The answer to your problems is "make some friends". Maybe if you stopped tryinto solo everything, this goal would be easier!

    Can't you melee Cuelebre while it's doing Mighty Strikes, or is that some other mob?

    And yeah, making everything soloable would be dull.

    Also, how on earth have you completed 85% of atmas and abyssites on solo PLD? I think you've miscounted.
