Pretty sure I can solo it too. And it would be a fun solo, not a ‘go make a sandwich and watch TV†type solo. I’m a long ways away from a 90 Farsha…but It’s possible
Thinking of working on a new Axe. But I previously camped all the NMs for my OAT 2-4 axe which I have now been convinced is useless. I am so not looking forward to camping that Beetle again. A PH that spawns in 2 possible spots halfway across the map from each other. Not fun...
I LOVE my 2-4x Axe. Bout 200 vermin away though from finishing the +3…been lazy. Its damage is pretty bad but the TP builds up so much faster than 2 regular weapons. Which is quite helpful as /dnc. I sometimes forget to macro it back in and I always get this ‘shouldn’t I be WSing by now†feeling. Then I look at my equips and see its not on.
Another thing I love about is sometimes is going from like 10tp to 60tp in one round. Certainly not the best axe for maximizing damage, but it’s very useful for survivability. Again, very helpful with /dnc.

Well, to your credit, it sounds like you already have Cloudsplitter, which is an elemental WS. DMG rating doesn't apply to it. Tell me something. Is it much better than Primal Rend? Or would I be just as well off making an Ice elemental Axe with MAB if elemental WS spam was what I was after? Making an Alard's Axe by the way, not a Farsha...

Sorry…maybe I misinterpreted. I completed a Richard’s Axe+2 which I find is very useful for off-hand. I don’t have Farsha/Alard axe so I cannot speak for Cloudsplitter. I’m a Guttler holder (WOOT!!!)
I’m slowly working on a farsha (not putting much effort into it yet), but I’ve heard rumors CS is on par with Primal Rend and not super spectacular. But those are rumors and mostly from people who don’t know how to test correctly (and only have 85 version or WoE). My buddy who has 85 Farsha does not have Primal Rend so I can’t get a definite answer from him yet. But if you’re someone who uses Primal Rend a lot…I’d assume you’d now use CS as you’d benefit from the aftermath effects. I also heard more rumors that the 90 version and possibly the 95 version (good luck with that) add some +% damage to the WS. SO maybe at 90 it’s much better.
I do have another friend who made 2 MAB axes strictly for Primal rending…he has regretted that decision and uses the PDT axes or NM dropped Axes (charmers/VW moon looking one).
Making an Alard's Axe by the way, not a Farsha...
If I can at all persuade you…in my opinion, make a Farsha if you’re making an axe. May not be as bad as you think. Your only problem NM will be Bukhis. The rest is completely soloable. Well maybe not that Hecteye VNM, but you’d have to fight him regardless. Shoggoth or something is his name. He’s annoying as fuk.
I too was going to make an Alard’s axe until I solo’d fistule. Turns out he’s not too difficult and pretty easy to pop. But his 15-20 respawn is what will slow you down. Just from a few random solo’s and helping LS members get +2 items I have 25 discharges, 1 bukhis wing, and 8 Alfard fangs. I could be a lot farther (if not finished) if I put some actual focus in it.
I duo’d Alfard (bst/bst) last night to help get fangs for my buddy Rook, and both fights were about 18 minutes long. Although I’m a Guttler holder and he’s a Farsha holder so…that may have helped speed up the kills a little. Anyway, during our fights, he DC’d and i almost killed Alfard from 40% ish down to about 10%. I started kiting instead of killing and he was able to log back in in time to get his fangs.
6/6 solo on NIN/DNC. He's a joke. Shadows absorb everything. Just make sure yu always have at least 2 shadows up at all times and at least 50tp on reserve for a quick waltz.

Also: 1/6 Capricornus
Same thing. He's a pushover. My hopes arent as high about Tammuz tho...
Can't have shadows AND waltzes when working on the G.Axe trials, though. That's my biggest beef... I could probably solo these VNMS, if I didn't have to be on WAR.
2/4 capricornus. So far my colorful has upgraded 3 times... 1 for each cap and 1 for the other t2. Im changing colors at a 100% chance rate... what are the odds? Wiki says 7% chance. Why can't I have this kind of luck in drops I actually want?
