Solo missionsFollow

Hi all

I have only recently started, about a month ago, and have question. One goal I have set myself is to be able to solo as many of the story missions as I can. I have a friendly LS that will help where its impossible to solo but for the most part solo is the plan. I have played around a little with jobs and decided on either DRG or DNC.

So the question is of the two which would have an eaiser time soling the missions. I am aware I will to get my levels up before even looking into but I have limited play time want to focus on just one job.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have posted this in both the DRG and DNC forums

Dancer's probably better overall, if only because Dancer's real specialty in terms of soloing is the ability to turtle up and make yourself basically unkillable in a single target fight if you aren't in a particular hurry to kill anything. That being said, if you're mainly interested in getting through missions solo as painlessly as possible, PUP is the best choice because they can do some really stupid and broken things with aggro that allow them to solo (over a long period of time) a few fights along the way that would be virtually impossible conventionally (second-to-last fight in CoP, for instance).

Be aware there will be some fights you're going to need help for regardless; there is one fight I'm thinking of in particular (I won't spoil it) in which I'm not sure it's possible to do enough damage to win solo before the bad guy uses his instant-win move.

Tenzen. If he uses CE one fight after 5 minutes because you're trying to solo him, and then you come back with 6 people and murder him in 15 seconds, it would be kind of silly to say, "whew, that sure was lucky he didn't use CE!"

Anyway, as long as we're spoiling stuff, ToAU 44 seems literally impossible to solo for almost every job because of Raubahn, no matter how strong you are; PUP, NIN, or BLU could do it on paper, I guess, but even that seems unlikely.
