You seem to be overlooking the fact that, if it weren't for rage timers, most(if not all) jobs could solo every one of those with relative ease.

Have you ever taken a step back and considered what you're saying? "If it weren't for 20 minute rage timers, yadda yadda unreliable generalization blah." I don't consider "relative ease" to be "holding my piss for 40-120 minutes."

One's inability to focus on a single activity for extended periods of time is none of my concern. Can't handle fighting Roc for an hour? Fantastic! Don't, then. That doesn't mean its the least bit difficult.

No guarantees that the next 24 levels will make you a god among men able to treat Kirin as though he were Bigmouth Billy. Hell, look at the old-school HNMs that are 20-25 levels below the current cap (King Arthro, Lumber Jack, Serket, Roc, and Simurgh). They're still a fair beating to some or all jobs solo, even if they can mostly be done with only two or three people compared to the old alliances.

What's the Ranger strategy for dealing with Simurgh, by the way? Either way, the point was that you have an incredibly skewed idea of what "ease" is.

18 alliance wipe to Simurgh.

Claimed with 4 on day of the update. 2rng brd rdm. We all know how bad his accuracy can be on the RNG. Well we rage it and wipe, but it then proceeds to rape ~30 people waiting for us to die. RR up after everyone is dead, pulled, and killed it, no drop.

ahhh good ole memories

To the best of my knowledge, no job other than PLD can solo Simurgh without utilizing some fancy zoning tricks(that obviously, as well as impractically involve you being the only person there). Then again, that won't be the case in a few months.

[pathwriter]

Oh, so most jobs can't solo Simurgh easily? Alright, then, what's the Bard strategy for Lumber Jack? I'll save you the effort and say that one won't be happening, either. I doubt a Monk can solo Roc, either. So I guess "most jobs can solo easily," actually needs the addendum, "if you consider 'Red Mage, Paladin, and Beastmaster' to be 'most jobs'." And then there's that problematic "easily." Yeah, Serket and King Arthro are just fights against the rage timer for most people, that's why I included the other three.

I've never heard of a DRG soloing Simurgh through normal means, only Roc. Are you sure?

yes

edit: there used to be vids of it floating around jewtube but i'm unable to find them
if you like sometime just to prove it, get me a tod on sim and i can run down and do it myself - not that its really a big deal but eh i've been meaning to do it for a while

rng isn't a solo job, and wasn't made to solo XD. But the idea of sekkanoki slug shot spam is really yummy .

[DoA]

It's still not an easy solo on drg, I'm waiting until I can get Apoc Nigh done then he's on the top of my list.

But honestly, why solo? Can't call atleast 1 friend down and make it an easy fight?
