you wont be able to make it stronger. the best atmas would be gales, MM, and ultimate.

Yes, Atma of Gales will increase Wind Blades damage. To increase Wind Blades damage, you're looking for Atmas with +MAB or Wind Attack+.

I'd say Atma of the Ultimate, Atma of Hell's Guardian (requires killing Pandemonium Warden, I'd prolly swap it out for MM) and Atma of Gales would be your best choices for Wind Blade.

Not sure does tp bonus atma work for that? Also would somewhat depend on how many abyssite of furtherance you have gearing etc

But probably Gales hells gaurdian and ultimate. MM works good too and gives you refresh to do stuff. Tp bonus would help dmg a bit.

Doubt it would be the best use for garuda... usually PC will do more. If it's something that resist physical that much just use heavenly strike. If you can think of something that those would both be bad against then idk.

And you can't make blade better than strike in abyssea. Can't get as much + element dmg, and because of beyond you will be down a significant amount of mab

TP bonus atma for avatar nukes are a waste, if your BP is 5/5 its at 200% TP straight off the bat, af3 legs +1 give another 25% and caller's pendant helps close the gap inbetween BPs.

Also mana cede would cap you instantly when its up.

Wind blade cannot mathematically become better than Heavenly Strike in Abyssea.

This is because, While Garuda can Equip Gales for Wind:Major, Ultimate for MAB+50, and w/e last for a good boost. Shiva's "Element;Major" Atma comes with the added bonus of MAB+30. Meaning no matter what combo Garuda is given, Shiva will always have 30 additional MAB on any other avatar. (except Carby, Cause Beyond has light too lul)

But, As for best Atmas for Wind Bland, Even though it will always be inferior to Heavenly Strike, They've already been Suggested :)! you got ~4 options. third atma being either PW or MM(for Refresh).

So if you're going to use Magical Bloodpacts you may as well just merit Heavenly Strike (now, Of course ice isn't good on all mobs, Its nice to have other ones set up for when the time comes. and also a good Physical build)
