Magic Attack Bonus Cap?

Magic Attack Bonus cap?
Well the good thing about nukes is that the damage will cap sort of in that if you're completely unresisted with no magic crit the damage will always be the same (unless i'm mistaken) but I've always noticed that at least.
So you could just find some weak mob that isn't going to resist you and nuke it, note the damage and keep adding more MAB. I have no idea if it caps, I have a feeling that it doesn't but I'm sure BLM would be best equipped to finding that out. Need trial staffs and searing cape.

even with brew you cant cap MAB, i did shinryu as pld (boredom) used brew with sanguine blade did around 9k ish, put on a moldavite earring, did slightly over 10k dmg, and will prolly try it with atma of the beyond, which has 30, and maybee do 11k dmg, so anyways, i dont think there is a cap to MAB, so the more the better imo... of course im just saying this as a personal test, idk if there is a MAB cap, i could look on ffxiclopedia, but too lazy.....
If you're looking for a noticeable difference to your nukes, and even though you stack a ton of MAB you're still not getting the numbers you want, look at raising your base nuke damage. MAB is a multiplier for the base. Find slots to add INT that won't sacrifice MAB. This will give a larger base number that your MAB can multiply.
If there is a cap, it's currently unattainable.

You cannot cap MAB.
Also, no Artemis medal or Twilight cape for bonus procs? Edit: At Nyte, I don't think they were referring to a brewing situation.. I hope.

Way ahead of you lol, I got two posts mixed up.

I only carry artemis personally when brewing sanguine on blu as uggy wont work ofc, as for blm carrying goetia and uggy for dmg dont rly wanna carry another piece lack of room. As for the posted build nothing wrong with it, youd swap in twilight when necessary yeah but then youd also swap in obi and zodiac ring too perhaps af2 pants. Also I personally dont bother using that grip just go bugard+1, vivid+1 is nice but none about.

I would agree with all those gear swaps, as I am one of the few remaining BLMs on my server I see rocking out Obis and gear swaps.. GO go TEAL blms..making baby Jesus cry since 2010. I also wear bugard+1 =) I saw a BLM in full teal cast Blizzard 4 with a Earth staff, not Terra's, an EARTH staff. I went ............. ?? Their defense, the PDT.

I know someone who went with someone to temenos east trio farm mnk rdm and blm and the blm did the same thing all nukes in 1 staff and no sleepga2. Cannot name names for fear of a super-injunction.
Makes me cringe seeing BLMS who half *** the job..It truly is one of my ABSOLUTE favorites and parts of me die inside :(

Then I MAY start on ava perp staves not sure tho :O Cerberus.Zandra said: Leviathan.Angelskiss said: Sylph.Krsone said: Need trial staffs and searing cape. 7/8 was one of 1st things I did before properly tackling abyssea, I shouldnt of done it this way around as there are much better camps in abyssea but I had finished most of the staffs before abyssea was fully understood and before stuff like minkin was known about. Staves are one of the single best things I did for my BLM AND my SCH, as with the OBIs. hate when people say /easy mode rant, then rock out NQ staves..really?
/face desk. I used to swear by HQ staves and INT>MAB. I still say that if you're not nuking with 150+ int, you need to replace something to get to that int. Minimum 150. I currently nuke with a 101+55 Int build (with food), However, I don't have the patience to do trials, never have. I don't use HQ staves anymore either though, having discovered that my Dorje does slightly better. I think it really depends upon merits, Int build, and such as well. You really want a nice combination.

Oh I should clarify 6/8 and a cure potency staff. Couldn't stomach a dark trial staff as Pluto's saves me 2 additional inventory spaces. Krsone & Angelkiss: Which trial was the worst? My personally was the Earth staff trial where you have to nuke pots.... I certainly /wristed on that one.

I love to solo so I was like *pom pom cheer* Ya its not that bad rly, ppl moan but you can watch something whilst you do it and it keeps you busy, beats what im doing atm standing in town wondering what to do. Worst trials ...
Soma staff had 250 manticore, fire staff had 250 evil weapons, wind staff skeletons as mentioned and ice staff wyvern. So did the OP resolve his MAB issue? The last posts really didn't cover that.
