    Sounds like soloing would become to easy when you think of having potions that give you back like 2k HP, take 1 second to use, and have no downfalls at all.

    Eh that's true but what are you going to solo of value at the moment?

    I guess it helps explaining where I'm coming from, when I see that argument I look at my PUP and I sit here and think "I can already do that and get pro/shell/haste/na/erase".

    Volatile Matamata? XD

    I dunno, just seems like a reason SE wouldn't do it to me.

    The amount of gear required to be able to solo that is rather high. Someone who's gotten to that point more than likely already has a WHM mule so they're effectively soloing it. Also keep in mind if you have to pop a potion while Hundred Fists Formless Strikes you're effectively losing around 200-400k damage roughly from activation and item delay.

    I don't disagree the fear of soloing is something SE would see as a reason to stop it but at this point I think finding a way to solve the lack of players willing to fill the healer role a higher priority (don't get me wrong I love being able to join almost any event because I have a decent WHM and am willing to play it).
