    EDIT: The only people I see soloing Umbrils are NINs, hence my NIN remark. I just kinda raged.
    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.

    The skilling up is one thing I'd like to try RUN tanking for there, I want to skill Parrying. As for RDM, I loved playing it at 75 cap, but Abyssea came along and RDM was no longer in demand.
