SE really?! really 99 cap boss this hard?!?!

[Dragoy]

I like a challenge, sure, but I do feel this battle is a bit off with the party requirement... I mean if it was a battle for something else, it would be different, but for a level-limit quest? Hmmm, it should be doable by any job I think, though excluding the Maat-fight, none of the other ones are/were neither... except the ones requiring sneaking around. They also said it wasn't going to be as tough as the Maat-fight... :S

Oh and the item to make the battle "not require a full party"? I haven't yet tried it myself (since the items are rare'ish at least from the high-level Puks though my luck is like that) but from what I've read, it just makes the Tarooo run away? How is that helpful exactly lol. Just makes it harder to melee him haha...
Sure, you can still hit him but sounds weird. Gotta try myself to see really, if only I would get the last item I need for it (Fossilized Bone)!

I wonder how soon they will alter either the difficulty in general, or the special item at least.

Only tried it once with 2 other (a couple of tries before on test-server only) and even though we didn't stand a chance, it was rather hilarious how the Tarooo got a couple of hits on me, then friend (MNK) used some job abilities without even engaging, and got hit with Dragon Kick for over 1700 points of damage, obviously knocking her out.

After that, I was hit with Asuran Fists two times one after another (some sort of passive Sekkanoki effect? lol). My Ninja sucks, badly, lol.

One more lol for added effect.
