    You do realize SE has never made anything "challenging". They've made things with horrible drop rates, or random "screw you" moves, otherwise nothing is "challenging". If they think this fight is "too easy" then the next version will spam -ja's with instant-cast speed, use 1000~2000 damage aoe's back to back, have a variety of instant death moves and a maybe a charmga just for good measure. Or they could just have to chainspell meteor.

    What that be "challenging" enough for you?

    Apoc with both Catastrophe and Entropy gives you crazy sustain of both HP and MP. With the Haste aftermath you can wear a ton of -PDT and solo almost any 75 content.
    Doing damage is for WAR's, DRK is about soloing 75 content yo.....

    The Stagger effects (ever notice how everything since Abyssea seems to be a copy of FFXIII btw?) were an attempt to re-impose "strategy" in events, but it's more of a hit-or-miss; they could always add complexity to how staggers work, but that'll just piss people off.

    Nothing in FFXI is going to be "challenging" as much as a zerg. Does no one remember SMN-burn, RNG-burn, BLM-burn CoP missions? Players will always take the path of least resistence, or the path of greatest gains-per-effort.
