Isgebind soloable?
Is Isgebind soloable nowdays, if you not a BST?
Rune Fencer comes to mind ;p
Think a good cor can, Runeist Rolls helps a lot.
Will try as cor soon, and I'll tell you. I soloed it multiple times on like i113 BLU a few weeks back.
It wasn't a hard fight per se, but it was a fight that is loseable if things don't go your way (Terror, Paralyze aura, Blizzaga IV and Gregale Wing can still do some nasty damage). I died once in like six fights, and was still able to reraise and win. The one death took a perfect storm of some ***, and I also didn't have very many of the "good" temp items on hand. With atmas and iLevel gear, I'd be shocked if there was any job that couldn't solo Isgebind now, really.
Runefencer certainly seems the safest non-pet choice, but honestly, almost anything should be able to. I'll give it a try, if fail it not hard just aoe burn another ki
Soloed it with no issues as sam/dnc. Normal DD atmas too. Did have to use a few temps when nukes were unresisted, but the fight's easy.
Edit: fought from behind btw, to avoid terror. I got destroyed when I got it around 20% a couple weeks ago on my BLU, but I had never fought it before and I was not being very careful. If I were stunning better it would have been much more smooth.
I wouldn't imagine it's too tough, in Xarcabard summon a whm trust, engage an enemy, let them buff you with protect and shell, fight Isgebind while making use of PDT set for TP moves and MDT set for nukes, then just kirr it.

Main thing that can make it still potentially a threat is that it'll wipe buffs fairly regularly. Then terror you. Like you said though, damage taken sets (and just ilevel in general), plus potentially using defensive Atma, counter that a lot. RUN or /RUN do especially well since Runes can't get dispelled, but Future Fabulous Atma and the like would help too. While you likely won't end the fight with them still on, Protect/Shell scrolls are also an option, and cheap from the Curio Moogles. Or, as mentioned, just set up for DD and take it down before it has a chance to do much. Honestly I just did it yesterday on BLU/WAR, forgot to change subs after doing some CPing. Wrecked face, saw no more than two Gregale Wings the whole time, no other TP moves. Blizzaga IV still hurt for like 1100 unbuffed, but in full DD gear, not even bothering to switch to DT, I pretty much just wrecked him with no difficulty. Most, if not all, jobs with some preparation should be able to solo it.

Isgebind should be the one making this thread, asking if he could solo you, to which the responses should be "if your opponent was out for a coffee, dear Isgebind, then maybe you would have a shot. Maybe". This thing is not remotely a challenge now. At all. Solo'd it in NQ as ***yorcia skirmish gear (not alluvion) with a damn Joyeuse because I was bored.

I was 2-shotting him on BLU when AF3 reforge was released. He never even got a nuke off, much less any dangerous TP moves.
This guy solo'd him at 99 without cruor buffs. YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder YouTube Video Placeholder

Fair enough, I haven't fought Isgebind since pre-ilvl so I was just speculating his level of difficulty.

Never saw neither roar nor terror the times I killed it. Not sure why people are making this out to be such a big deal. The only thing that hurts is an unresisted nuke, especially if you have no shell and like me you're too lazy to swap to -mdt gear. Make sure you get some extra temps in exchange for cruor just in case. Josiahkf said: » Quetzalcoatl.Kenrusai said: » Is this real life?

Soloing Abyssea was a pain when it involved grinding out Empyrean weapons, and my Red Mage wasn't geared well in the Abyssea era due to, well, it being mostly an irrelevant class. In addition to simply not being motivated to partake in what RDM solo had become at that point. I've soloed him once or twice on WHM/NIN for someone who wanted the hearts, with full buffs though etc.

I'm pretty sure I could literally go afk and kill it just by auto-attacking.

and that's even with RR/GH/Sanguine Scythe Isgebind at least was easy EDIT: besides obviously the flying ones DNC/THF in ilvl gear can probably pull every NM in abyssea together in one spot and kill them all
everything in abyssea is soloable by RDM... easily. The only thing you might have a little trouble with is that chariot that does discoid. Might have to use kiting method to kill it, but I am thinking if you get all the +HP atmas and go /smn you could survive discoid.
