I prefer RUN/NIN personally, and have been focusing on Shiva lately 'cause I want my Nilas Gloves and everyone else already got theirs. @.@ Not sure what you're asking for setup, since it's solo, so yeah...
My point was less about soloing Avatars and more that I've had no clash issues between Liement and Vallation/Valiance, including when they was freshly applied. Which suggested it was the PLD's abilities, likely Rampart, that clashed with Liement. Not a hard test if you've got a PLD buddy.
So is your DPS the issue?

I have, on previous runs, which is why im confused.

My DPS is totally the issue; I find myself in my tanking gear more often than not to be on the safe side. I prolly need to make a better hybrid tanking/DPS set to improve my damage over time. As it is, my current tank set is more to mitigate as much damage as possible.

makes me wonder on the duo possibilities. Smn might compliment well.
Alright, so RUN was my chosen #2 job from a while back, and I think I finally have the gear and desire to put it to work. A while back I tried it on Ouryu, could barely keep hate/stay alive, didn't go well, put it down for a bit. Just tried an AAHM, for the most part I think I did great...until the 2366 CDC (not skillchain, single ws) killed me and we wiped at 2%.
I was using /nin, spamming the hell out of utsusemi's, attempting to pay attention to all that was going on, all my timers and recasts and buffs, etc. I swear I had Foil up, should've had Phalanx up, and should have been in my PDT set. Here's my gearswap sets:
PDT - head="Futhark Bandeau +1",neck="Wiglen Gorget",ear1="Flashward Earring",ear2="Ethereal Earring",
body="Futhark Coat +1",hands="Qaaxo Mitaines",ring1="Patricius Ring",ring2="Defending Ring",
back="Evasionist's Cape",waist="Flume Belt",legs="Runeist Trousers +1",feet="Futhark Boots +1"
PDT is at 45% + JSE sword = 50% PDT
General engaged - ammo="Honed Tathlum",
head="Lithelimb Cap", neck="Ej Necklace", ear1="Bladeborn Earring", ear2="Steelflash Earring",
body="Emet Harness", hands="Qaaxo Mitaines", ring1="Patricius Ring", ring2="Beeline Ring",
back="Evasionist's Cape", waist="Anguinus Belt", legs="Runeist Trousers +1", feet="Futhark Boots +1"
My Unity was actually in first so I figured it was perfect alignment for Emet.
I guess I should have been using tacos, and asking the BRD for defense songs at the end?
And general play is:
Keep shadows up.
Flash every few seconds.
Foil as needed (or straight up spam?)
If any free time between those, ws/refresh/rebuff...?
I hardly had any time to do anything but utsusemi/flash/foil, and it just felt hectic and not very...fun. Is AAHM just a bad fight for us? Is /nin always that insanely spammy? Am I doing something incredibly wrong?
Also, where can I get some practice? WKR's with Trusts? Anywhere else?
