So the other day I fought Shinryu on my drk, trying to get his atma. after popping a brew off I was deeply disapointed in the kind of damage output I was doing.
So under brewed conditions what would be the best weapon(not counting empyrean,relic,mythic,WoE empyrean-1's) and atmas to use?
Drk + Brew

Freezebite has the highest damage for GS while using brew I've found

Haven't seen if anyone has bothered to SA or def down it to find out how much of which one it is.
Why didn't you just get a multi hit/low delay weapon and souleater?
Havent tried Freezbite, my best guillo was about 4k, then tried spinning slash and meh, finally found out Ground Strike was a good option. 5k lowest, 9.8k top (average 8k).
Now i wanna try Freezbite XD

Herculean Slash was doing 15-20K for me

understandable, since blms are doing 15-25k per nuke. The huge INT boost means your DINT is going to be very high, which measures as the D in your WS damage formula. A normal weapon of let's say 140 base damage will have 163 D with fstr capped. But with Herculean slash, your DINT could be 800-900 depends on shinryu's INT. Not to mention, it does have a fairly high modifier, 60% VIT. When all your attributes are 999, the higher % of modifier the better. This tops the 25% str and mnd of guillotine, which is a 50% total. Not to mention you can use MAB to boost the damage of this WS by using atma. I wouldn't be surprised to see higher number than 15-20k if you go all out MAB atma.
Since Herc is Ice based, Atma of Beyond gives it a double whammy of MAB +30 and Ice Attack +30 then throw on say Ultimate for another 50 MAB and any other MAB atma. My thoughts at least.
or atma of griffon's claw for a fixed 20% increase after all that MAB.

Or all three because ppl with Brews have 3 <.< and you dont need TP atmas
cool advice, thanks =3

24 to 26k Infernal scythes with brew on shin. Havent tried GS yet. I think the magic ws work better under brew.

I've been doing it as drk/thf using baying moon, beyond and ultimate. Herc slash rips out ~30k with ~10k skillchain every other (and I'm still stuck with a level 80 Albion waiting on coins of decay). Usually 3 ws = win. I'll go during slashing and try for blue first. With doom screen you can hold easily until you get hint and ws proc. Just watch your 3 minute stopwatch (or statustimer if you're not one of those windower haters or console players) so you don't get caught with pants down. GL!

When you brew you get a 50 TP tic iirc wouldn't need the MKris, and would probably be better off with Infernal Scythe or Herculean Slash.
Herc Slash will hit for 20k+ every time with brew.
Havent tested out infernal scythe but id assume it would have the same high numbers.

Mkris would be nice with souleater
Anything worth using a brew on gains resistance to souleater very quickly.

Herc slash would probably win due to better ice atmas, no?
Can only think of cosmos that would help Infernal?
Edit: other than pure mab atmas ofc*
Might want to give Sanguine blade a shot too. In a nutshell, all the elemental/amber light oriented weaponskills do absurd amounts of damage to any abyssea mob.
I'm also curious what Flash Nova would do on dark...I jokingly used it on Indrik yesterday with my whm and it did 42k damage....

DD WHM? D:
I brewed him on drk and used freezebite (because my gs skill is low so I don't have Herculian slash, yeah yeah I'm working on it). It got the job done, but was only hitting for 1-7k. I didn't try any scythe ws since he's dark based, though I might throw out a infernal scythe next time just to see.
It was nice too since freezebite was red proc and we didn't need the atma rofl.
So freezebite will do it, but don't expect massive numbers.
