Anyone else solo this with PLD lvl 119 I can do it but once it hits 25% hp it charms me and it was back on 60% hp...
Anyone tried this with Atma of the Savior?

Try fealty.
Fealty is nice, but it isn't going to last long enough unless you get really really lucky with your timing and when it tries to charm. (Maybe if you're brewing? If you manage to not cure her too much)
Go /run, use tenebrae runes and pflug when you can. Wear the Highest Magic evasion+ gear you can get. In PLD's case, this would be Respite cloak, Umuthi gloves, and espial legs/feet. If you're lacking Respite, then the next best would be Gavialis/Lithelimb head, and Espial body.
I resisted all charm attempts on 2 fights this way. Avg about 3 charms per fight. And I did this before respite cloak came out, So you don't even need That much meva. Didn't use any light resist accessories either.

Did you use mandies to power it down?

Oh, you know... I totally forgot about this, but the real reason not to rely on Fealty, is cause she might just steal it with her add effect buff drain. <,<
If you use a shitton of mandies, almost all of your damage will come from CDC spam / self skillchains and as a result she'll get much less TP and use fewer TP moves.

The charm effect is so so predictable, iirc, it happens when her eyes start glowing, so, its short time when suposelly she wont use melees, but charm, you can use fealty to counter at least one charming.

Edit:Ahh, I see some info on this on old wiki.
Quote:
Enthrall: 15-18' AoE Charm and Sippoy Costume.
Only used below 50% HP as the next TP move after Rani's eyes have ignited. The eyes will ignite randomly after TP moves are used.
Afflicting Gaze: Gaze Attack that inflicts Bind and Plague.
Unlike other caturae, this attack is instantaneous and does not continue for a period of time. Rani's ignited eyes will not bind or plague you after the move has been used.

you can nearly be immune to charm with right atmas/gear and /run
unsure if /run will take away some procs though
Can her en-buff stealing take Fealty or runes?
I recently needed to get my alt an epona's ring and I found it easy to deal with as blu/war. I even had to time my ws to her tp attacks to make sure she didn't die before I proc'ed. Granted, it wasn't a solo and it wasn't on pld but I wouldn't imagine it would be all that much trouble to kill. I think procing and keeping that proc would be the only iffy part. I just full-timed meva gear and I resisted charm.

But back to charm issue, iirc, using some kind of dots would prevent the nm to heal (though its not garanteed that will prevent losing proc?)?
I know fealty can be drained.
I have this vague recolection, of her stealing a rune from me, then her just doing en-dmg rather than stealing buffs. Like my rune overwrote her buff-drain. <,< Runes have the highest en-effect priority, so. lol.
But now that Runes are non-dispellable, they probably can't be drained anymore either. But I bet enlight would block her buff-drain once she stole it too... XD

#1; Full resist strategy using /run + magic evasion gear. (could use atma too)
#2: Timed fealty use after Rani's eyes glow. (Buff duration/recast limitations) Should be able to counter buff drain risk by letting her take enlight.
with item below will check it out and post back.

If you want to use an atma, use Atma of the Holy Mountain. +100 light resist. Charm is light based, so this will likely help a great deal more than some unquantified minor resist charm+
Stack on tenebrae runes and some Ilvl gear with good magic evasion and you should be fine.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought the resist stats made the status effects duration lower. i didn't think it actually increased your chance to 'resist'.

Resist Sleep on equipment and job trait gives you a % chance of triggering "Resist! <name> resisted the effects of Sleep." whenever you would have been slept otherwise (but not Repose). It's the same for the other traits.
Barsleepra increases your magic evasion to sleep effects. It's the same for the other barstatus spells.
I've had no issues stunning Enthrall as RUN/DRK with Weapon Bash, I'm sure Shield Bash would be just as effective should you decide to not use Fealty.
You can solo Rani no prob on SMN, she can't enthrall your pet.
Paladin SHOULD be able to solo and resist it providing a decent MEVA set and /RUN.
Rune Fencer can do the same but if Pflug drops you may or may not get hit with charm.
Also, as far as I know, nothing can drain a rune because they aren't dispellable and thus ineligible even for her endrain effect.
