Some can be very easy.

However some will rip you to shreds.

I came across one that forced fights against two mobs at once, and they each hit for ~180 damage on a normal hit so I was taking in 360 damage per attack. Needless to say I didn't last long.

But, I've done 3 other ones that were easy as pie.

Get Tha to 10 equip Punishing Barbs, Sacrifice, Shock spikes, and cure. Attack mobs and watch them kill themselves while you spam both sac and cure back to back while punishing barbs and shock spikes do work stunning and killing the mobs.

For certain leves that require you to fight multiple mobs you can utilize Repose to bind a mob in place then pull the other mob away and fight it solo.

Use the ability that increases spell potency / effectiveness (sorry I forget the name of it right now) before you cast Repose and it increases both the chance to hit and duration of the bind effect (at least from what I've observed).

If the leve involves three (3) mobs though, good luck, b/c repose never sticks long enough for me to bind 2, kite away, and solo one at a time.

Then what's the point? You don't get SP from reactive abilities like that. The rewards from Rank 20 leve's (in terms of gil) or not much better than Rank 10. I'd only do this if the rewards were guild points or armor you need.

Whats the point in doing them if you cannot win???? I personally grind with this setup casting spirit darts when I can and skill up just fine actually quite fast works for me.

I will add one guy stated he used lower gear for faster skill ups I live in the other camp kill a ton as fast as possible aoe grind for shards crystal and mats = profit the skills come pretty quickly seems the tougher mobs I fight the better skill ups i see and xp so for me its win win.

Heck I am thinking of getting Gladiator to 10 just for Aegis Boon to add to the mix the mobs damage heals me while punishing barbs takes em out used on mobs that otherwise would have just killed me outright so I maybe able to get away or better yet let the sucker kill it self. Me being dead or failing isn't the best option in my book.

You don't get SP though do you? I've never once gotten skillups healing myself when solo, or buffing myself. And I've heard punishing bards does not give any SP. Shock Spikes certainly give no SP. If you don't have time to do attacks, you don't get any SP which means it is almost pointless.

Sure, you get shards/crystals and drops ... but you'd get that from killing regular mobs too, mobs that you can actually kill normaly and get SP on at the same time.

Gil awards alone are not enough for me to do a leve, I'd rather spend that time gaining SP.

I spam macros casting spirit darts and get skill ups while healing if full spirit dart opps losing health heal heal then spirit dart its stick and move or dart and heal I think you missed that part I open with spirit darts spam and quickly move on again I get skill ups seems like crazy or I wouldn't have quickly leveled both jobs up and easily completing quests others cannot on harder modes solo.

I get skill ups mostly from spirit darts and elemental skills my mindset isn't I must max the amount of skill ups I get from a single mob its slay them all as fast as possible and xp and skill ups rain and this is working for me pretty much in the nut shell. You can do it your way me I like full bags of loot to sell and fighting fights that are a bit exciting to say the least.
