1) Did you level other jobs to increase survivability? Do you have cure, protect, stoneskin? If you want to solo more difficult content you need to get as many skills as you can that will help you survive.

2) Lol recommended party size is..recommended party size. I mean really you can't *always* expect to solo things like that unless you have the skills necessary to make you self-sufficient (like the ones i mentioned). Even then..its a tossup.

3) So just get help..or level other classes to make yourself stronger.
