FFXI Devs speak out!

Level 3 renkei bonuses go 100-150-200. If you have the right threnody on a critter, you stand a good chance of getting your full bonus most of the time. So, you just need a spell that usually does ~650 damage on a 2-step renkei -- less for 3&4 steps.

Light being the preferred skillchain of course and hoo boy- MBing as a Red Mage for 1.3k+ damage is just plain fun.

wth... Is that even possible? And if so, with what spell?

Yes it is possible

Thunder III on Qutrubs in Arrapago Reef to be exact, although I've been told you can do numbers close to that or higher with Fire III against Qutrubs and undead skeletons too, I normally go for Thunder III on Light.

Edit- Oh, and the night I did that- we didn't have a brd in the party. It was a "normal" setup of PLD, WAR, THF, WHM, me and MNK. 1.3k was my highest but even when resisted my MBs were hitting the 1k-1.1k mark easily and the few free nukes I had time/mp for landed for between 700-900.

Keep in mind that Qutrubs have rather low defense and take big number damage from just about everything. I've personally done 50+ damage just from an en-spell, just as reference.

Well, true...but its still fun as hell^^
