I would imagine it would be a walk in the park on any job 75..for CoP now its not gunna be the fights that suck but all the walking and now they have almost broken that now too.

So been reading this thread, and I've never done CoP. My question is, could you really solo this or even duo-trio now up to the airship fight?

One of the hardest thing in CoP's are those stupid *** mammets, my static failed on that fight more then we failed all other fights put together..

I can't imagine they'd be too much of a problem now.. Hell me and a friend Duo the uncapped ENM version of Mammets (DNC and RDM)

The only reason I'm unsure of Diabolos is because of his TP moves I'm sure some jobs could probably do it NP, but others, if his moves stick a lot even to 75, could really screw you over.

Interesting, I thought that was a level 75 fight.

Let me put it this way, is there any fight right now that you'll need 6+ people for?

Easily..one of the hardest parts of CoP will be navigation, but with areas now without aggro it shouldn't be hard at all. If you are worried about soloing it find a dual partner and go to town..Airship you prolly should find 2 or 3 ppl to help..but even like 3 paths, Tenzen, Pots, Snoll and some others i'd imagine would be easily and I mean easily dual'd if not solo'd just depends on the jobs you have.

Friend solod Mammet fight this morning. He went in at half his hp and walked out with half of his hp. It was a pretty fast fight according to him.

From what it seems like so far, chapters 7 and 8(mission dependant) will require multiple 75's, just like before but before then, it can be soloed / duoed depending on jobs.^^

Once you get sea access the fights wont change much so you will need 6ish..but thankfully thats only a few and not even that hard..Promathia can be a struggle but I did it with 6 and it was over kill and ive even done it with 4 and it was cake.

Everything up to the Airship is totally duoable. I have a few different friends who have tried a variety of fights.

Just finished Vahzl as BLM/RDM.

Playing it safe, it took about 11 minutes. Probably should've just SAM'd it up.

Aspir buff was a Godsend, though, especially since I failed to sleep (No idea if they're immune or not, just ran in blindly :p)

Just did diabolos for my RDM alt as a 75PLD/RDM. Fight was easy and definitely soloable. That said, Nightmare landed every damn time, even with my MDB set on.

just solo'd Mammets as 70DRG/35WHM and it was pretty easy, buffed with RR, protect II, shell, SS, and blink. the last two wore pretty fast but the mammets only hit for 20-30dmg.

penta thrust would take out most of their HP, and i would just switch to a different mammet whenever they used Transmogrification (didnt bring any liquids >.>).

it only took me 10mins and 48secs to clear, and i only had to HB twice with minimal HB gear (plus i threw in a cure II at the beginning).

I soloed Promyvion - Vahzl as 75MNK/37DNC without too much trouble last night. I completed it in 6 min and 18 sec, which broke the record by 3 min and 37 sec. I actually dinged 76 from the 1500 exp reward :D All around very satisfying victory after all the pain that mission has caused me.

The only real problem in this fight comes from the Cumulator's TP move called Impalement, which is basically a tonberry's Throat Stab and takes you down to about 5% HP no matter how much HP you have. I recommend fighting Cumulator last so that you don't have to struggle the rest of the fight with really low HP.

I intend to try solo up to the airship fight and will probably try solo that too if I can make it through 3 Paths alone.

Too bad they don't take out the level cap for the Rank missions and everywhere else across the board. Parties are very hard to find for some of these old Capped fights.

Dragon fight is soloable by BLU and duo'd by many competent job combos. I guess the skeleton fight could get a little tricky, but it really wasn't that bad...

Solo'd sacrarium fight as 75thf37/dnc. Only thing I had help with was getting the door open with the help of someone who was farming. Easy.

Only one where I'd really like to have 6 is the pots BCNM, and even that is at the very least 5-mannable with good people, probably 4-mannable. The rest of Chapter 8 has been duo/trioable for a while now with some skill.

I got from CoP 2-5 Ancient Vows to 4-1 Sheltering Doubts within a day or so. 3-3 is REALLY long though, no matter if the cap is raised or not. Ugh..

Good luck for those running through it! Currently Duoing it with a DRG friend and we're doing just fine. ^^

Just solo'd Promyvion-Vahzl... it was a joke. Took 0 Dmg thru the whole thing. Last NM in spire fight was only thing that hurt me @5% of its health. It did Impalement for 681 dmg & I finished it off with a Death Blossom. Good luck to all you CoP soloers!
