Hey guys,

This is a pretty straight forward question I'd like to ask. Can a RDM solo Briareus if they have a Almace?

I'm a very well geared RDM, I have a good enfeebling set, I have a full +2 and a fairly good weapon skill build for CDC, I'm just curious on the method I should take and on what atma's would be the best choice?

You probably can with out an almace, so yes you should be able to... I wana say sub nin, RR GH apoc so you speed up kill a bit, maybe sub one out for an eva atma but so long as you keep him debuffed I doubt he would be too much of a problem. Just make sure to kite after a 1111 M strike

Yes you can easily solo it I'm sure. I would sub dnc over nin for stuns. Stoneskin can reach near utsu: ni casting speeds now with the right equip for a solid 400+ SS lol. Stun him with /dnc, and not much else to it. Debuffs and kite during 2hr.

Alternatively you can expedite the process by finding a NIN or WAR for faster kills and more reliable red procs.

I can NIN/WAR and solo all the key items, then change over to RDM/DNC and solo him. I don't have amazing NIN gear like I do on RDM which is why I'd rather attempt to tank him on that.

Any NIN can solo him, you'd be much better off doing it with that tbh.

Even though the gear I have is not amazing?

My NIN has +2 hands, legs and feet and all the other things like Suppa, rajas, ect ect.

Does having the Tarutaru sash with TH+1 on it count?
