Thf-aeolian edge(gales, ultimate, pandemonium warden atma?)
Mnk-catsclysm(cosmos, ultimate, warden atma again)

with no hell's guardian you could just use baying moon/beyond instead.
Flash nova might work on mnk as well, but I've never tried breweing with it

Anything that enhances mab or the elemental attack of whatever you're brewing with. Just be careful the mob isn't resistant to whatever you're trying to kill it with. i.e. earth crusher on rani is a bad idea but A.edge is pretty good.

General rule of thumb is that elemental attack+ is the best thing to look for, then MAB.

Smiting blow is also worth a mention. On WSs that have a large FTP bonus based on tp, the +100 TP bonus is useful.

Yeah I had pretty good results with smithing blow/ulti/gales aeolian edge brewing, too.

Yep, brew gives +900 MAB , so MAB atmas are not that great. Element +, wsdmg+ etc is the way to go.

Not sure this thing about mab is true. I've always been told mab isn't affected by brew(and kinda believe it since I've tried QD on brew and difference wasn't as great as a +900 would suggest).

Wasn't that great? It's either a large damage boost as +999 MAB would suggest, or nothing is effected at all; it could just be much lower than +999. No other stat on the brew enhances QD. I would test it myself, but servers down etc :|

Do you remember your QD numbers with brew?

Can't say the exact number, but against Shinryu using gales/beyond/baying moon(didn't have ultimate at the time)my wind shot dealt something like 2k. Now, I've never used wind shot with gales atma outside of brew situations, but it was a double damage at best compared to the usual...and maybe I dream too much, but shouldn't +999 be more than just double?

What's your QD set and Gun/Ammo? Any AF3+2? HQ or NQ staff?

Whoops, nvm~

I had a simple yata as main weapon, Mayhem+2 with mab, oberon's, cor hat+1, navarch's choker/gants+1(irrelevant)/bottes+2, moonshade with mab, moldavite, mirke/tassets with mab, stormsoul/balrahn ring, forban cape, aquiline belt.
Pretty sure this is what I had when I tried this. The damage increase could have been just gales doing. Oh and used ascetic(don't know if tonic or gambir)and Wiz roll.

The damage should have been somewhere around 950, so for 2k, the MAB would have to be somewhere around 417...

Math:

=262, that being the total MAB of brew from the estimate damage, but I think a more reasonable amount would be +300~+333. I'll test later when I want to brew something :|
