The BLM strat is bursting death. Unless you have BLMs specifically set up to do that along with multiple idris geos, it's very much so not worth it. BLM strat will be even more random than melee for you. We always had been told that nuking low tier nukes based on the day is what proc'd him, but very quickly didn't even bother.
Tips for melee burn:
- Keep your numbers in check. Clear it multiple times if you have to to get everyone through. HP scaling is a *** when you're getting started.
- Don't overcap accuracy, we quickly found out we didn't even need high accuracy sets once we got a Marsyas / Idris in the shell.
- Ask geared support for assistance if you don't have any. See a random Idris or mythic bard? They very well may help, people don't like standing around all the time, it's fun to just help get things done as long as the people you're helping are grateful and respectful when asking.
- Make sure your WHM is capping his bar spell potency, and if he's not, get an extra bard to sing lightning carols for you. Preventing stun is required to melee this.
- Kill wynavs, they can be AoE'd down easily without even switching. The boss will eventually 1-shot your tank if there's a few wynavs out when he Meikyo Shisui (Wynavs all use breath at the same time, it hurts and can't really be reduced other than normal -DT)
- If you get a late bene, ride it out man. You can usually still kill it, it just takes a while.
- If you throw away a pop or two, don't sweat. We wasted like 10 pops before we killed it and got it on farm status.
This is just a bit of hearsay in my linkshell, but light-based weaponskills always seemed to proc him. Torcleaver, CDC, etc
