• Dragoon: I just did this at DRG/BLU and it was terribly easy. Meds I used were icarus wing, fish mithkabob, yag drink, pamama au lait, rr earring. Gear was a normal /war or /thf setup, you want dmg fast and hard. Before entering I set my fellow to Soothing Healer, I wanted no chance of her tanking since I couldnt heal her myself. Upon entering use the icarus wing, rr earring, and fish mith. Advance until you can draw your weapon against Vassago but stay out of agro range, then cast Cocoon, and take both drinks. As soon as you engage use penta-thrust, then high-jump + jump. He will use Blighted gloom at this point so super-jump the first one and your fellow will return a blessed radiance to him. Use penta as soon as you get tp, and be ready to move behind your fellow to avoid blighted gloom. I forgot to the second time he used it and dropped my hp to 140-ish, but a quick footkick and a cure4 from fellow had me fine again. Cocoon never wore, its a VERY short fight, and 3 pentas finish him. His normal attacks never did more than 50 to me since my defense was over 350, which is awesome for lvl 50. Best of luck to all, I hope this helps.
• Dragoon: I did this as DRG/WHM. Was not easy but I had a way of healing my NPC. I set her on Stalwart Shield and had my EXP gear for level 50 on, except for a few pieces to up my MP a bit. My wyvern didn't last very long, and my NPC seemed to enjoy attacking the boss from too far outside my own attack range when I stood behind her. When my NPC ran out of magic I would help cure her a bit. Since I was out of attack range I would wait a while after the boss used Blighted Gloom, then I would run up and attack him a few times, then run back behind. I also jumped whenever I could (using Jump first and High-jump after to reduce my hate more efficiently), and Penta'd whenever I had the chance. It was a somewhat challenging fight but it was very fun and I enjoyed it. I hope this helps!
