Vedrfolnir / Darkscale fate

I was wondering, isn't it time to nerf it a bit or at least make Vedrfolnir invincible?
The problem with this fate is that it requiers lots of people to do it, like any big fate made for many players. Usually, you can deal with just 4 - 5 players if you have 20min+ ahead of you. But this one, you need to heal the goddamn Vedrfolnir, and one heal isn't enough. By the time we go get people he already ran away and the fate fail. That concerns the prerequisite fate as much as the Darkscale fate.
So maybe it was doable when Heavensward came out and the zone was full, but now there's like 5 - 6 players in the zone and they're mainly doing MSQ. So, any way to make it doable as of now, like, what I said, making Vedrfolnir invincible and just actually leave the fate timer do its job, or any other solution?

Lol. Do those seriously work as their mechanics say? Like.. % health protection and full health heal? I've never done this FATE outside of FATE swarm time so it wouldn't have mattered what was going on, the screen was a massive spam fest but.. Lol.

That'd be massively convenient (IF you have WHM).

These things do work, but they're highly contingent upon having someone nearby who is a WHM. Since the purpose of the FATE is leveling, it's unreasonable to expect that to always be the case.

That said, the large-scale FATEs are, and always have been, dumpstered content that you have to complete during their brief period of relevance, or else you'll always miss out on the rewards. If your concern is leveling, there are a lot more effective ways to do it than FATEs, so there is that, at least.

I wanted the achievement and also the Vedrfolnir fate for the chocobo barding which requier to do Darkscale fate

Wait, what chocobo barding?

If they were to get a nerf it still wouldn't be a soloble fate like the Cancer crab battle and the eyes have it fate it was designed to be a large scale fate that sadly people have no need to do :(

Basically what i'm asking is not making it soloable, but just Vedrfolnir tough enough for us to get search for people without the fate to fail within 1min.
