You grow and fight diff type of mob which most HNM have the same type of JA,WS,Spell or even the same look just HNM type.


So saying you don't learn from partying is wrong. Person who only"ONLY" solo would not know how to really work with others and do there job as a group.

I will agree to certain extent that party does help in some area like healers would be better when it comes to healing in group, melees learns to avoid conal moves or moving away from mages etc. But if everyone was so already great in skill after a ling grinding, no one would wipe in darkhold.. That was my point, endgame mechanic and basic mechanic are entirely different in XIV and you learn those from experiencing the dungeon firsthand and not from grinding.
