Adjustment to enemy levels, plz

[ManaKing]

NIN isnt the only job capable of soloing things.

Jobs that can easy/maybe with a little trouble solo things:

NIN, DNC, BLU, PUP, BST, THF, PLD, DRG, BLM (by nukeing), SCH (by nukeing)
adjust your gear and SJ for soloing and you should be fine

Jobs that can solo but struggle a bit more:
RDM SMN SAM MNK DRK
here the same, adjust your gear and SJ

Jobs that definitly struggle without support:
The rest: RNG BRD WAR COR WHM

now there are 20 jobs (ignoreing the new ones since I assume you didnt lvl them yet fully or geared skilled them etc)
you said you lvld 10 jobs to 99

I gave you 10 option of jobs that can solo good - decent and 5 jobs that can solo semi decent. Multiple of your 10 Jobs should hit the above criteria of Jobs listed.

of course if your gear is ass (and by ass I dont mean you need a relic/empy and ofmg uber gear to be able to solo) and you suck at playing your jobs, none of the above options will help you.

RDM has no problems in the jungle if the RDM is well equipped and well prepared. You just won't find more than a handful of RDMs on each server that fit that category.

To the OP, PUP is also extremely proficient so long as you have a defensive undertone to your play style. It does better than SMN and BST currently if you have raised your PUP to lvl 99 and geared it as such.

There are some jobs that won't do well in the new content and a lot of jobs will struggle because it is a complete reversal from what they are used to, but I don't think there are almost any jobs that can't at least DUO and that's all abyssea boiled down to anyways. You and healer. Getting things done.

The only difference now is no buffs out the gate, though they are coming in the form of Ionus. Less prepared and/or returning players that aren't up to par will just have to wait around a month or so while the people that can get things done currently furnish them with advantages that weren't available on release. It's not like you can't gear your jobs in that time as well.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

[Shadax]

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.

[Brightshadow]

Why can't it be like TOAU when the cap was level 75, the monsters in the open field areas were DC to T and deeper in the zones up to IT, and in the dungeons they were VT-IT.

[JiltedValkyrie]

I definitely have issues soloing on bard, but I have lullaby so it's not that bad. Shouldn't really need to solo. There are a lot of people in the zone.

[Sephiran]

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).

Oddly, I got lost in Cirdas and decided to bloodwarp, I got a set of Triple-Bats to 49% as RUN/DNC, Not really going all out, if you CAN go all out on RUN atm, I bet I could beat the hell out of those on DNC... >.>
