    SCH/SMN soloing?

    So with the new feature being added where we can do 2.XX content with no party size restrictions and no lvl/ilvl sync, and SCH/SMN being the best solo jobs in game. What do you think'll be the hardest content they'll be able solo?

    Can't really see them doing ex primals, but maybe they can do some of the hard mode primals?

    I'd probably solo older lvl 50 dungeons. Dunno about HM Primals, that all depends on just how much HP and defense Titan Egi gets by level 50, and if our pet HoT get's a boost.

    I'm planning on doing videos of me soloing through the content, up until I find one I just can't do. With as much as there is, it might take a bit though, lol......

    The tank pet's HP is directly related to the player's. I think it's 2.025 or something slightly odd like that. I did the math a few times. Right now my tank pet has over 10k, which is honestly more than most actual tanks I see......

    I've been thinking of doing it just for glamours or to gear up lower level classes - I'd be really leery about doing the hm primals, especially Titan - Gaol or the like could do bad things to a solo player.

    yea, i don't see titan being soloable just due to the gaols.

    Ifrit, Ramuh, and possibly Shiva would be solable, maybe Garuda too.

    Don't really see Leviathan being soloable either, time to burn down all 4 orbs imo would take too long to allow shield to charge for his ultimate attack.

    Who needs egi's when I can just lure my fat Chocobo to fight for me with Ice Cream sandwiches. Oh wait there was no mention of bringing our chocobos into dungeons... yet.

    Well I already watched a video (last week?) of a Scholar going through Keeper of the Lake solo. As well as Hullbreaker and Snowcloak. There was a lot of running... Just a whole lot of running, and even more running.. But if you wanted to solo, it might be possible if you know what you were doing. Especially after setting +30 Mind at the start of Keeper of the Lake.

    Warning they are all over an hour so.. Have some popcorn and don't expect to do much if watching all three end to end.

    I might solo Zodiac drop dungeons and the like. Then I can continue on my crazy (now completely rather than relatively pointless) plan of getting all the Zetas. I got 3 already, SMN and SCH being 2 of them.
    As for soloable content. Hmm. I'm sure there are a few which will be pretty unfeasible, either due to mechanics requiring more people (gaols, 1 person per circle mechanics, wild charge) or being alone and pets being wibbly sort of there, sort of not there meaning that unavoidable attacks normally spread amongst multiple players will all be dropped on you. (meteor streams, golem meteors)
    I'm curious if some of the battles will be tuned for having less people, or if they will just be left as is, and eventually someone will solo them two expansions down the line due those OHKO mechanics actually being too weak to do anything. (e.g. Granite Sepulcher crushes you, but you shrug off the 10k dmg since you have 20k HP)
    Something I am wondering about though, could you tag along with your new DRK/AST/MCN friends and give them a leg up levelling, or would it award no XP? I'm guessing it won't award any XP.

    Soloing as SCH really took a long time compared with SMN IMO.
