@Dev, the new dungeon clear meta is spin2win Boxer, and Black Bubble is more egregious than Wretched Oil. But tangents.

And yes, most mobs are easy to deal with but lethal if ignored, but some are seriously "Kill these before they get to attack, or you're losing half of your HP". Like Firewings, Corruptors, Sliders, those floating sword enemies, anything with poison, and some other things I'm probably forgetting.

I think the best solution to encourage partying is some sort of morale bonus. More EXP, higher drop rates, additional damage/defenses. Tiny things that make having to deal with other people worthwhile. Maybe even something like FFXIV's party bonus, where each person in a party gives benefits to everyone based on their class.
