Here is a video showing how to solo VT flower monsters without getting hit at all (which requires strategy, timing and gear swaps to get the right mix of counter, evasion, haste and job abilities).
I think other people already showed how to solo this before, but it was never too smooth of a fight, and used too much support or preparation (like trying to boost chiblast to take the monster down to 75% from the start). Instead I wanted to show how easy it can be just straight-tanking and using monk's other great stats and JAs, and how you could chain even 3-4 of them back to back without the need for all that boring boosting.
I show 3 fights to show how monk can solo even the VT ones without getting hit even once, to show how you can get chain2+ from a camp with flowers on both sides, and how shiva's claws can be very effective even on VT enemies like this (in the last fight).

What food do you use when you solo? I would imagine Tavnazian Tacos. Your skill on Monk is sick but so is your luck on Counterstance /smile. I love or hate that JA. Even with 5/5 counter merits and afv2 feet, it can be pro or epic fail D: Have you solod Aquarius on mnk/dnc yet? If not, it's a fun fight. Anyways, my goal is to solo ODS but now I can only pump out 180 Curing Waltz II since the /dnc gimp. Will be fun. GL and I hope you decide to post more stuff with new content otw!

No,mostly I was showing a situation where shadows and counterstance are better than just /DNC, since other videos I made showed where /dnc can be better than shadows (solo ODS etc).
Plus I was finishing up the resting HP+ earring quest, which uses 5 of the ex items from these.

@armytiger2009 For this I used sushi to help with counterstance. You also need to use focus and dodge properly to get it to work well for you, just look carefully at my video. For ODS solo, they decreased curing a bit but they also added a lot of powerful items and food that more than makes up for the difference (e.g., def+atk food). I don't think I will play again actually, I haven't played in a year and none of the new content is interesting to me (no new subjobs or additions to monk).

Great video and the music really crowns it.
