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%.

I'm sure its possible, but he came pretty close to dying multiple times, and had to use temp items to stay alive. It would also take forever to kill it on nin/dnc so you would probably be better off finding a mage to help you just to speed things up.

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.

It was after benediction. Though it was never in winter breeze mode during the the time I was watching. Which is why I said I wasn't sure if he was able to kill it.

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

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.

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.

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.

Guess you just got really unlucky. All the times I've done it never seen it aga that frequently and never seen a single target spell do more than 2.2k with just shell V. And the only ones that got thru were when it would stun then cast. Neither of use used mdt/mdb

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.

Don't need just helps speed things up a little sometimes. nin/war gets all but gswd/scythe I think.

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).

/War gets pole and sunburst if it merits staff and some gear.

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

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)
