I solo'd this thing today as 75NIN/37WAR. Only time i took any damage was when it used whirl of rage, or something like that. So easy, a joke really.

Since a Drk can exploit a "weapons" weaknesses, and have the ability Archane Killer, would a 69 Drk be able to solo something like this?
THF tanked

Tanked this as 75thf/nin... well really a mage casted dia to pull and aggroed them both so a 70mnk a lot of it on the second one, but I tanked one while another tried to pound me. Cake.

Not 55. Not even close. This thing did 110-135 dmg and a 225 critical on me as a 70 PLD. Like someone above said, it's more like 65-70. Kicked my *** cuz I was trying to solo like people said I could.

That's because it's an NM. NM's have stats that are about 10% higher than their level. (I don't actually know the number, but that seems about right.)

but the base level of this mob still is not level 55 so it doesnt matter much. A medium sized group of 65+ is recommended for this mission, so in order to solo this guy you need a lot of stuff going for you. high evasion or very high damage mitigation would be needed. planning on trying my hand at soloing some of these with my 73nin/war to see how it goes. Doesnt sound to be that bad of a fight really.
wrong level

These are not level 55, more like 65. Went to duo them as a 61whm and 69rdm and they totally destroyed us.
Fun stuff

They used the shot I took while waiting for my group to get there. ^^ Looks like they had to stretch the shot and alter it to fit, because in the picture I took, I am actually locked onto the Ancient Weapon's partner. Notice the direction the head is pointing.

Anyhow, this fight has one incredibly simple tactic that can be used to make it much easier. Exploiting the fact that Weapon class mobs aggro sound. Have the person who is going to touch the headstone Sneak first. With this done, you are free to pull one at your own leisure and rest for the second if you need to.

The fight is not that harder, and with the right setup, it comes out to be fairly simple. Especially when compared to the NM Flesh at the Light headstone in Zi'Tah.

I'm not sure if you can trust everyone 100%, but the person getting sneak and popping them got aggro instantly after popping them.

Maybe they've patched it?
hmm..

Im not sure the 'normal' weapons are level 55 in here.

Last time I was there was early 50's, and I soloed an easy near the craig line.

This isn't an NM at all, normal mob, one of the things you can level on out there. Lvl 55 or so I believe.
