    Abyssea Proccing as a a BRD sub

    How well does it work? Are Threnodies like Dia in the respect that cannot be resisted?

    It can work, however, there are often resists that I've seen. I know that when we bring /brd, we usually do blm/brd so that we potentially have elemental seal if need be. The magic tonic also has helped in landing.

    threnodies can be resisted even when BRD is main, mostly when a monster is immune or highly resistent to an element.
    durinn vs. dark, big worms vs. earth, etc.

    so a /BRD must stack lots of m.acc. to be safe.

    Only the phoenix arises and does not descend. And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost.

    Considering it is a C level skill, and then SUBBED.... yes, it resists Quite often. the drink helps, but I'd agree with the blm/brd combo. You got the blm spells, and you got the threnodies- which once the element is decided you can Elemental Seal before casting the threnody. Never had one resist that way. :x

    I love this combo with seal-farming. Other people will love it too

    Gamayun can resist even ES threnody if it's not ice-based. I popped revitaliser to use ES again to be sure, and it definately wouldn't land. It wasn't even wind-based either >.>

    i think you need to at least cap your singing skills. i tried blu/brd with a TON of magic accuracy (2atmas for it plus full gear), int, int song, and ascetics tonic. couldnt land anything on a seal nm. my singing is only like 120 and a person in my party said they had landed threnodies before. so idk, but its definitely not easy. maybe i could try a element+ acc atma.

    BRD songs are CHR, not INT. And yes, get your singing at least to the 45 cap. It is possible to land threnody as blm/brd without ES with plenty of M.Acc gear. You will most likely need the correct HQ ele stave for the spell too to help.

    i was able to land threnody as bst/brd w/o any macc gear/atmas. chance to land the spells was at ~5% so it can take a while but isn't impossible.

    Edit: NM was kharon (skeleton in attohwa)
