Morbol Menace a bit unfair for Bards

[Alukah]

Do you honestly need a label on everything to say "Don't go alone!". Again, it's an MMO, expect to need someone there. You should have someone on hand anyway and expect the worst unless you know before hand what is coming along.

Did you do side quests and leves in a full party "just in case they were designed for 8 people"?

Clarifying a bit of misconceptions by a few here for alexandrite maps:

1. You can totally do the maps in any class you desire, including culinarian, in case you want to fry cook some tasty morbol.

2. Stemming from above, you do not need to have anything specific equipped.

3. Every class can fight any mob solo, but it requires BCoB T1 level of preparation for certain classes. In my opinion, unless you like the adrenaline, go in at least a group of 2.

Notable monsters are as follows listed here, classes with small room for error in brackets:
1. Morbol -> stun, paralyze, sleep, cleanse (all classes)
2. Triple cockatrice -> take out petrifying one first, waod back (all classes, except SCH and tanks)
3. Cyclops -> good, quick AoE rotation (SMN, MNK)
4. Golem -> awareness + good AoE or multi-target rotation (all classes, but especially MNK)

Have a mental picture and a little research on tackling these and you can start solo-ing maps.

Had one my FC members ask for a healer to lend a hand for this, so I came along. While they were a Paladin, I can see why this could be frustrating. Having to manually remove 7 debuffs is enough as it is...

If they were a PLD they should learn to shield swipe and stop bad breath from happening then you just dodge like normal

From what I understand you need to have your atma weapon equipped, and they are job only. Also the enemy is immune to stun, so it's not just bards that can't get out if they get stuck.

^ The above statement is untrue because I am soloing/companion all of my maps for my BLM on my WAR job and I only have my Bravura at Zenith level.

Yes and? What does it have to do with my statement?

Black Mage: physick spam to stay alive.

A silenced, paralyzed blm casting a spell that recovers under 400 HP every 2.4 seconds. That is why blm needs a nerf.

As a bard, this is the only alexandrite map enemy that gives me problems when soloing because we aren't designed to deal with it.

One of the map enemies gives you trouble? Every other job can list at least one map enemy that is rough (except smn)

I've had to complete every map but one so far (to my knowledge anyway) and none of them are rough for me as DRG. People just need to know how to handle what they're given. But difficulty is based on the player mostly so what might be easy for me might be rough for others. I will confess though that my first encounter with the Mythril Golem and his merry band of bombs didn't end well. Going in blind does have consequences occasionally.

After like 20 maps of not seeing it, I finally get it again. You can silence his bad breath with blunt arrow but not any other bad breath. He's even nice enough not to do it again till your blunt is back up.

Gotta have more faith in Yoshi.

It means you can do your map on any job/Class just be prepared for " Fun and Excitement" if you plan on soloing.

Pacification doesn't stop bad breath though. I used shield swipe and it still hit me. But the morbol can get stunned. So stun the bad breath cast and bam. You won! Or you can temper will your way out of it. PLD gets options.

I wanna bring this thread back from the dead.

Attempting this as a dragoon and never can beat it. Stuns do not work. When locked in place, Leg sweep and Ring of Thorns remain highlighted while all other attacks are blacked out, yet I can only use Ring of Thorns...

Anyone else experience this!?

Is this a bug?
