anyone think this NM is soloable by rdm/nin with mp/hp boost? i heard this NM goes down very easy
deeper into the fight it starts spammin para silence plague poison all in one move so i doubt it
Not sure if there is a good kiting area nearby but it's not like it runs uber fast so probably. Especially with movement speed
It hits pretty weakly so might even be able to do it rdm/blu in full pdt/def

It has a lot of HP so it would take a long time to take down while kiting, I'd be worried about it taking longer then that 120min max you can get.
The para blind silence plague move coupled with the HP and MP down would make me seriously reconsider trying to straight tank it.
It may be possible, why don't you try it and let us know how it goes?

answer to the OP.. NO! :)
i had a nin/war straight tank it with HP boost and mages spamming cure/haste/phalanx/stoneskin on him.. when it hits in quick succession it hurts!
once he got paralysed and got quad attacked it hurt him baaad. couldnt get debuffs of quick enough

I dunno, my alliance takes it down in 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, it depends on the luck of the battle, this little *** spams paralyze and a status aligment that is horrible,drops your HP and MP suddenly and leaving it stuck there, need an erase for it.
I'll take a risk and say no.

OP was asking if he had the HP and MP boost thing, so you have to take the HP and MP down out of the equation.

Would having the hp/mp buffs help? Or would it still eventually get you down to just as low hp/mp, especially in a longer fight?
The hp/mp buffs prevent the NM from lowering your hp/mp altogether.
The range on that is low enough you shouldn't get hit with it kiting

Also, I'm not sure if it has been confirmed / tested on all NMs, but they supposedly rage after an hour.
i usually take him down in a few minutes with 12~16, a tank, 3~5 blm, 5~7 melee, and some healers. We set up a stun rotation, and usually have no issues

With the HP/MP buffs to avoid the AOE, we take him down every time. It's not the quickest setup (10-15 minutes per pop), but it's very safe. TBH, I haven't tried a melee strat with the HP/MP buffs yet.
PLDs PDT was ~30% so we had no need for a backup tank.

He may be a tough straight tank solo simply because of the double attack and the counter attacks.
I could see you having a better chance at this with a whm handy. If you're going rdm/nin, you wont be able to remove all the debuffs (paralyze included).
So a solo straight tank is pretty much out of the question, but if you grab a friend or two, you'll be fine.

Remedies.

Trio'd it with RDM RDM SAM.
SAM had HP boost and used remedies.
Easy fight took about 10 min or less.

I would just get a party and pop this I went on a run were all the party did was pop this Nm and out of 5 pops 4 items dropped it is not a difficult item to obtain with the drop rate.
