I often farm FATES to get company seals, and I usually end up soloing now that the Atma rush is fading a little.
There is plenty of stuff you can do solo, and that's usually what I do while I wait 45+ minutes in dungeon cues T_T

Of the classes I've leveled, BLM is the easiest to solo almost everything. Outside of dungeons, Sleep is one of the most broken skills in the game, and their damage is very high. That said, I use SCH for Alex maps, because of the chance of running into the Morbol. The combo of Vine Probe (bind) + Bad Breath caused me to waste 3 maps on BLM. The flipside is that playing on SCH makes a couple of the maps much trickier, though still doable (the puk adds to the cyclops make things very exciting, and the bomb adds to the golem have killed me more than once if I was slow in switching targets and burning them down).
You mention BLM's sleep, then talk about running into the Morbol's Bad Breath.... which is easily answered with sleep
Thank you all for the input.
I am going to give black mage and scholar a go and see which I like better.
Thanks again for the advice.
Are the DPS classes pretty balanced or are some shining more over others?
We had a Ninja with us last night that was doing really nice damage in stone vigil.
