    They would need to make it such that most if not all damage is avoidable since not all jobs can self heal. Also would need to scale back the target's HP and their damage output to account for nontanks. But then you'd have jobs like tanks having an easier time because of extra defense/HP compared to say a ranged DPS. Then it stops being an extreme trial and just a regular solo instance. We had a few of these already. The Lakshmi one in 4.2 comes to mind.

    There's no reason that solo instances can't have their numbers be tuned to make them fair for all jobs, have mobs hit harder for tanks, have less hp for healers, etc.

    Then it's no different from a job quest or role quest fight, really.

    I think people would be fine with it being like job quests if it was difficult like an ex/savage fight. The thing people are really asking for here is difficult solo content, I don't think many people care if their healer version of the fight has 10% less HP than their dragoon version, as long as it's actually a hard fight.
