I heard BLMs can throw some heavy nukes when Primeval Brew'ing, but I was wondering (before I spend 200k cruor on a brew), what about Spell interruption - I mean, compared to RDM chainspell we have some long casting do to.

And what Atma's did you guys pick for Shinryu brew fight?

Be shantotto and spam low tier nukes for absurd damage. Just make sure to say stuff she says while doing it. Also spam the laugh emote while casting.

If you'r gonna brew I assume you can 2hr aswell, and manafont is -100% spell interruption, so it should'nt be a problem unless you get knocked back etc.

this, in conjunction with mana wall and 300mp/refresh should mean you'll be fine

Also might as well put up manawall and then randomly emnity douse mid fight.


I'd bring a staff and a club and try to go during blunt time and proc if you can

/bump.

I brewed Shin the other night and was highly disappointed with my numbers. Had no problem killing, just pathetic numbers imo. Only 16k on my tier V's. 12k tier IV, 10k tier 3 and 7k tier 2. Ive seen some rdm's with numbers in the high 20k range on their tier IV's. What do I need to do to get mine up there? I am fully merited, casted on ice day, with my obi. Was this a fluke? Or did I fail miserably? Atma's were MM, Ultimate, and Apoc. Working on beyond still. ><

So you know you're using gimp atma for brewing but you don't know why your brew damage is low.

Are you sure you used a brew? cause those are my typical nonbrew numbers.

Would it be crazy to aeolian edge spam for blm brew? It would be a lot easier to time on nms that can absorb damage.

(It is possible to use it with merits and /rdm)

If you have the correct sub, which would most likely be /rdm in the case of blm, I don't see why not

Why not just use cataclysm then? There's more dark magic attack+ atmas than wind.

You can't unless you /pld /mnk /whm (most likely out of the choices...but kinda icky dependant on tastes) or /war. People usually /rdm or /sch from what I've gathered, but if you're /whm go for it. But is vidohunir a bad weaponskill for brewing?

Aeolian edge isnt even that strong compared to Cataclysm and Earth Crusher. If your mob by chance was immune to darkness and earth + weak to wind then maybe it would work but I'd rather put up stoneskin before brewing and just spam firaja and fire 5 with the best atmas.

Especially if your mob is something like Isgebind that resists the *** out of wind moreso than the other spells

assume /rdm

Pretty sure the best way to brew on BLM is to change to RDM before popping the brew.

pause brew with magian specs
