lvl 51+, which songs for melee...

[SlickVicJr]

So I've just hit 51 and learned Blade Madrigal... My question is, would it be better to use (Blade) Madrigal & Valor Minuet III or double Madrigal?

I did notice my PT hitting the Chamber Beetles in Garlaige more often... but I'm not sure if having Sword Madrigal really helps more than Valor Minuet III.

Can anyone with experience fighting mobs 55+ give some information on which I should use? Or if I should use 2x Madrigal and Madrigal/Minuet3 depending on what's being fought?

Well if you see that the TP building is slow, like the renkei only happen at the very end of the fight, then it will usually be better to give them both Madrigal.

The problem when you cast both is that the member who are well equipped with accuracy items won't benefit that much from it since they probably don't miss often in the first place.

Don't be afraid to check the melee players to see their equipment. If you notice that they are well equipped (sniper ring, life belt.. etc) Minuet will probably be best. But if they are poorly equipped, then Madrigal will be more usefull but don't expect to see major improvement. They will still suck, just less..

Honestly, I've never encountered a situation post-55 that double madrigals hasn't been the best for. Improves tp gain, Multi-hit WS = MUCH better, and the atk bonus from Minuet III at my lvl (about 60 on the melee) just doesn't make up for the bonuses both accuracy songs give. Minuet IV will be something I'll pick up when I have the extra cash, as I don't see myself using it in a exp PT situation.

Thanks for the info!

You'll eventually want to swap back to Minuet and Madrigal before long, somewhere during your Onzozo days hunting Toramas. But for now, you'll do fine with double Madrigal up until Cape Terrigan, I believe. What's holding back your Minuet is the fact that your melees probably are too poor/too low to buy accuracy equipment around the 50's, but they always seem to have enough during the 60's to make Minuet viable once more.
