• Ninja: Very easy fight as a 50NIN/WAR with moderate gear, and 50 NPC set to Soothing Healer. Provoke Vassago, then enfeeble him with Hojo:Ni and Kurayami:Ni, which will cause him to attack very slowly and miss approxiamtely 60-70% of the time. As with doing this with any job, watch out for Vassago's Blighted Gloom; but you'll have plenty of time to run away from it. One thing that I found works is to get Blighted Gloom to hit your NPC run away from Vassago when he bgins to use it but do so in line with your NPC. Once you are out of his range he will turn and use it on your NPC, causing your NPC to counter with Blessed radiance making the fight incredibly easy. Blighted Gloom goes through shadows, but only did around 250dmg which my NPC healed right away. 50NINs will have no real problems with this BCNM and will finish it rather quickly.
