Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Imitarate[/i] There are three inhibiting factors to deal with when soloing. One, we have access to subpar defensive gear, even when geared to solo. The best we get is scale, which isn't exactly plate. Even Gavial isn't that great as defense, compared to what other heavy melees could solo in. We have no real defensive advantage. Two, there is a delay between taking damage and getting HB off, which in the wrong situation can be fatal. Three, mana management. Even if all you ever cast is Dia, you're still going to burn through a large chunk of your MP when taking on XP-able mobs. Damage and accuracy aren't an issue. Unless you're very particular about your xp/hr, hMP isn't that big of a deal (bring a dark staff). That leaves how hard you get hit, and how fast. Slow will almost never land. There's not much you can do about the casting delay except keep the helm on and the Dia button ready. So, work on defense and vitality. Focus on it, even. It helps with all three issues. You might be able to get away with an attack-ish tanking food, but that's where it's really up to your experimentation.[/quote]
