    /WHM leaves you vulnerable to physical attacks and you won't be curing after Astral Flow is activated. If your strategy involves planning to be hit by magic damage, you aren't properly kiting. Melee damage is much more likely.

    Mmm, They do have En-Spells on their normal hits don't they? The Enspells if i remember back when i did the fights were almost as much damage as the hits themselves in some cases more-so. Bar-spells would reduce the impact of Enspells far more than 10 DEF and a few VIT could ever reduce the Avatars Physical Hits.

    Thats why i suggested it

    I wish they'd make a tiny adjustment though. Lower perpetuation inside and let you use all avatars. It would make more sense to show your skill in elemental relationships than just have you spam carbies.

    Would be too easy if you could use the avatar's weakness in the BC, the challenge is fine, the rewards aren't imo.

    Any job level 90 with /DNC can solo the level 65 quested ones. A skilled RDM/NIN could solo melee them at 75.

    Just ask for help and you can get them without doing the mini-trials.

    I don't think they do at L20. Long time ago, but after living a few months with enspells in Abyssea, there's no way Carby could survive any en-spell @20.

    I'm almost positive they do, But they hit carbuncle for lower damage than they hit players.

    I could be wrong As with you its been nearly 5 years since i done the fights... and wiki is no help on the subject.

    They have enspell damage but it's fairly low, friend on taru smn/rdm with no food managed to melee Titan to death after carbuncle died... Shining Strike'd him for win.

    I'll concede on the issue of enspells, as I'm clearly not the expert. All I know is that I stacked +HP gear, Protect, and /PLD def bonus before I was able to win with ease. If I were to ever try again, I'd probably also go find that L8 shield.
