So this update saw the introduction of a pretty cool spell that makes the old "BLU is a solo class" meme a bit more true, Basic Instinct. It's a spell you can get in Upper La Noscea from Master Coeurls(they're lvl 20ish, so you can get it super early) and that does
Increases movement speed by 30%, and healing magic potency and damage dealt by 100%. Also ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Mighty Guard. Can only be used in duties intended for two or more players while playing alone, while no other party members are in the instance, or when all party members are incapacitated. Effect ends when joined by one or more party members.
So I figured I'd try soloing some Stormblood dungeon, synced, to see how it works out. So far I've only ran Ala Mhigo, one of the original 70s dungeons, but I cleared it in 26mins, with one death(to the first trash pack, turns out pulling wall to wall is actually pretty rough, although it's doable if you do it properly, not like I did). Definitely could have sped it up if I remembered at what % the last boss summons the swords, since I held my long cooldowns for way too long waiting for them.
Overall, that's about Trust speed, so obviously not the best, but it's not bad for soloing synced content. I'll check a higher tier dungeon after. I'd expect any dungeons you can't freeze trash to take a lot longer though(for example Temple of the Fist), since a lot of it is Ram's Voice > Ultravibration to one shot half the trash.
