    I see plenty kill Umbrils and I do it solo on my RDM. It's good times.

    I can go up to VTs mobs without too much effort and ITs if I really want to get crazy.

    I'm not the only one and RDM isn't the only job I see doing it, it just happens to be that the difference between a RDM in aby and a RDM in adoulin isn't much of a difficulty difference because we don't go full tilt on offensive buffs in aby. People are just used to overly easy and now they have to worry about how to not fall when they take the training wheels off.

    I don't even think the new content is hard, I just have to take it somewhat seriously.

    At 99, nearly the entire game is too weak or "easy prey" that should be too weak. I'm happy that they waste no time getting serious, and it's what I expected them to do.

    While I don't think they need to drastically lower the mobs down to 75 cap levels, I do wish they'd be tweaked slightly in the Ceizak/Yahtzee areas so that it's not such a chore to farm or take care of aggro while moving between reives. Adjusting the mobs to be an even split of EM and T to level 99's would be good.

    While the mobs may check as tough and upwards, it's important to note that level correction is completely disabled in Adoulin. So the mobs really aren't as bad as their levels imply (hence the reason why Chant du Cygne and Victory Smite are doing closer damage than usual).

    RDM/BLU with capped skills have no problems whatsoever soloing the T mobs out there. Bring echo drops and remedy in case things get dire. And probably may wanna buy defense food. Also a good time to make a -PDT sword. They also have new -PDT shields. RDM can easily get 25% PDT gears, on the cheap.

    No, around Adoulin. My main gripe was, to be honest, Umbrils, I can solo Twythrym on DNC and BST, Chapuli on BST, but so far have found no way to solo Umbrils myself, but I've gotten advice on doing so, I'll have to keep trying and dying till I figure it out.

    Try solo Umbril in the first two zones, which is T only, with RDM/BLU or RDM/DNC or RDM/NIN, whichever you prefer. Cocoon is great with phalanx + stoneskin + aquaveil (bring echo drops). You can also come as BLU or PLD.

    Although this cannot be stressed enough, if you abyssea burn any of the jobs with under lvld skills, you will have somewhat of a challenge in SoA areas since the mobs will be very evasive and you will deal very little damage. Try to skill it up at least around 360s.

    Sadly, I haven't really touched RDM since 75 cap, it really isn't geared. And no, I don't leech, but after 70, I do go to Abyssea.

    Perhaps it's time to dust the old red coats and play again. Seriously - SoA is not for freshly minted Abyssea graduate. This need to be stressed over and over. Fresh off the Geomagnetron Abby babies with minimum skills will not enjoy the fact that there is no cruor buffs and atma (or temp items). In the plus side, tons of quests just focusing on exploring, and gathering materials (or just buy from AH if you have gills to burn). You don't really need to do reive at all if you don't want to, with the recent adjustment, it is really not worth your time. I think they just want you to explore and do all those coalitions quests which are repeatable to rank up your status on each one of the six. This area is also great for skilling ups.
