 * Soloable by any /nin mage job with dots that can be applied from a distance. Solo'd as BLM/NIN just running around the lake avoiding aggro and applying DoTs. Casted all of my spells when he was casting single target nukes. Will lose hate if you run too far. He may use Berserker Dance once or twice. If this happens, kite him for 30-45 seconds until it wears off. If he loses aggro, its safer to bring poison pots with u and reclaim him with stun. Long fight, about 40 minutes.
