PotD floor 200 solo clears

[Tint]

Can anyone explain why it can only be done on RDM?

It's the combination of damage and healing a RDM is offering. No other job can clear the dps checks while also providing a strong, (nearly) unlimited heal.

Dualcast Vercure.

Vercure
good damage at 60

and the 180 boss is a behemoth that spams meteors near death and RDM can sustain itself enough to survive

Part of me now wants to unlock RDM and give it a go >.<

I never touched Blue Mage, but when they increase his level cap to 60 he should be able to enter PotD(?)

How good is BLU compared to RDM when it comes to soloing things?

RDM has damage and healing output that is necessary to get to 200. Other jobs can make it very far without the healing with sustain pots. The only floor the other jobs have serious issue with is floor 180. At around 10-15% he starts to spam meteor. The cast is much faster than the level 80 version. It drops you down to 20% of your health. He then casts it again a few secs later so the pots can't get you back up to safe levels in time.

i don't think Blue will be allowed in deep dungeons

it would depend if blues good spells work on floor bosses if so
blue could probably easily do it if its % based spells effect bosses
if not probably not very well

Currently BLUs strongest spells would instantly fail them on solo runs, their rotation would put them at low dps levels, their sustainability though is high with Mighty Guard for traps/bosses's big attack, white wind for quick heals, it could also be possible everything would be susceptible to Doom/Missile/Tail screw or any of the debuffs BLU brings.

If BLU is allowed in with its current kit the wall would be the 180 boss due to its lack of damage but that could change based on any new skills it could get.

It was a bug. The potd was intended to NOT be done at all.
They have fixed it now, removing the tether from RDM.

Actually, since everybody who were advocating for the removal of tether were saying that it was a 100% useless skill, Potd should be still soloable with a RDM. There is no way they could have been wrong
