Carabosse
Carabosse
I started an empy wep static in my shell and currently its a fellow mates turn to finish their weapon. im doing the gun for my cor and i was wondering is Carabosse soloable by a nin/dnc? 362 eva skill 309 parrying 370 katana
Doubt it, but may be possible, I've never tried it.
I saw a nin/dnc soloing it. Not sure if he killed it though. I left when it was at like 30%.
thanks :D was just trying to get some opinions on it. i looked it up and there werent any testimonial thingys :S

Would that be before or after Benediction? Because... well, big difference. :/
I'd say if it's possible for a nin/dnc to solo, it's not worth it because it will take a long time to kill. You'll also need a good -MDT set for those oshit moments when a AM2 (if shadows are down) or a -ga spell goes off.
I'm bored out of my mind, and have a pop set sitting in my KIs... Guess i'll go give it a try.
Most of the time I just solo it on RNG/SAM, but that takes a lot of luck and time.

She's easily soloable...if she doesnt resist stun.
If a stun miss on a cyclonic torrent/aeroga III then you're screwed.

=/ gettin a little discouraged now XD but ill still give it a try normall when i solo i use RR VV MC atmas thats worked for me. I always get temp items before hand incase a "omg it caught me while castin Myoshi ichi" but what ultima said about the missing stun is my real worry
If you have Apoc atma, I'd say use that over VV, for the triple attack and the quick magic. VV for nin is a bit... meh.
I dual box bst on carabosse and I use rr/mountain/vissitude mag deffense and stun is key at end of my fights my dipper yuly is still full health. It takes about 30 min a kill and I am already working on cor gun after getting 50 gems for my massamune. Its possible for sure but get at least healer if ya can
Just killed it solo on NIN/DNC with no issues at all, I'll post the video on youtube now, but it won't be ready for another 30mins~1hr.

cheating with blade:hi
takes a bit longer using jin
making my friends gs and my kannagi and carabosse takes 20-30m depending on how often she goes into blm mode
he duo's THF and WHM when we pop bosses and i tank on NIN/DNC

Alot of Carabosse can be luck too. If she uses the right moves in the right order, it can *** you over hard. Lost a couple pops fighting as a duo through the combination of Cyclonic Torrent (Mute + wipes shadows) followed by Winter Breeze and a nice Aero V. And all ya can do is sit there thinking about how much this is gonna hurt.
She's no big deal with a small group, but a duo/solo can be pretty rough if you're unlucky.

Yeah I always did it as thf nin and whm and we tore ***up. Whm was mostly there for stun since we rarely took dmg outside of cyclonic or aga if it went to those mods.

Temp items? >_>
Id say soloing it would be luck. I duoed it every kill for my masamune SMN and THF, and even with a fair MDB set, if it wants to kill you, it will. Sometimes it would go aeroga 3 > aeroga 3 in like 4 seconds. Unless you have a fools drink or a whm cure bombing, your going down. And even with Shell V and Baraera, Aero V was doing ~3k, so if it goes mute to that, your pretty much done.

Kinda pointless solo'ing though since you need a war to do the pre-NMs to pop carabosse.. Grats on kill thought for what its worth.
Edit: By needing a war i mean for complete red !! so u dont waste time pointlessly doing multiple pops. 3boxing u can do all carabosse in 1 day easy.

NIN/WAR doesnt get gsword/scythe/pole/staff(sunburst)
But hes /DNC so he doesnt get sword, or club either iirc. or probably Earth Crusher.
Plus- would have a hard time keeping positive time- maybe possible but between nms, etc- probably going to be running negative on top of repeating nms; its far from efficient. That on top of 1 dd on carabosse you turn a half day binge into a few days of much more work and negative stones (not like it matters, but re-entering and goin to town kind of a pain).

As far as efficiency not everyone has groups to do stuff for them. So buying pops running in doing nms and then running out changing subjob is the most efficient for some people
Quoting a friend...
SUCK LESS.
edit: argument end @ merit staff [for nin]

I would for this. What else you gunna merit for nin? gkt evasion and? Not to mention I've gotten a good million xp since I last capped my merits... so it's not like moving them around would really mean that much

... gkt? really? ====================> official forums are that way. If you seriously didn't merit Katana I'm gonna cry.
Like merits aren't 1hr for 20.
Also, no law says you have to proc red to get the Key item. Doing my first few Carabosse totally solo on BST, I got many of the key items without Red!! (BST gets maybe 2 or 3 depending on sub, and that sub is Warrior)
