Here we go again

Honestly I haven’t done Meso Terminal yet
Also as an extra tip, if you’re a Scholar you can just Protraction / Adloquium yourself and you’ll be able to tank most hits (outside of having a bunch of vuln ups etc).

The second boss's bosses for healer and DPS hit like wet noodles, and even the tank one not too bad for a tank. The avoidable mechanics, on the other hand, generally hit hard enough to kill in 2, 3 if you're lucky, and stack vulns to make sure you're dead if you can't stop standing in the bad stuff. It's a fairly lenient pass/fail mechanic check, so shields and such are largely useless for the fight. The fight is almost entirely an awareness check.

They were all instakills for me.

They were 2 hit kills for me on SCH, but I generally had on shields. I imagine it might be a bit tougher on AST or WHM.

Near the minimum item level? I'm 737 on Sage and getting hit once will typically leave me at about 10-15%. Lesson learned from bad timing on a normal cast of Egeiro.

I was on DRG with i734 and the spiked balls and claws were a one hit kill. Didn't get hit by the electric fence thing, but a friend on VPR got one hit KOd from it. It may be tuned to your role.

That is entirely possible, given that even the bosses themselves do do different damage. Had a run where the tank died after I was done with mine while theirs was up. Turns out when any of the bosses aren't linked to someone they will absolutely go ahead and grab someone else not linked and force them into the ring. Dude was hitting me, at a glance, about 5 times harder than the one normally having a go at the healer.

If anything the second boss is subject to tank solos.

Maybe toward the end of the fight, but I'd assume unless they can get the healer one down before it cycles around to the doom part of its rotation it's not truly soloable.
Blue Mage runs should be mildly interesting though, once they get to this point, since everyone will have to make sure they've got the spells for handling each of the role mechanics without a way to know which one'll grab who.

Thats a gear issue. All non extreme or higher fights are designed to not demand any shields to be beatable. If it insta kills you, that means you have outdated gear. MSQ gear is on that by default outdated as tomestone gear is always ahead, which might on that be bad design. But even then, the minimum ilvl requirement does make it so you are always able to beat it.
