Yes it is possible, just take the time to properly skill the corresponding skills for your job and will have no problem.

Inb4 It's too hard to skill up.

Honestly speaking Reyke, if you actually have singing at cap, as well as either or both wind and string at cap, you wont resist much even naked. Just toss on a HQ ele staff and some +macc and that'll cap you unless the NM actively resists.

Edit: As for +throd instruments, it enhances the effect and time duration, but not acc.

If you try to cast Ice Threnody on a target resistant to fire, it may fail often. An alternative course of action might be to cast Fire Threnody first (a water-based spell), such as to reduce its fire resistance and make it easier to land Ice Threnody.

Pulled from wiki and a main factor that most do not understand about how Threnody works.

Honestly a much more common problem is abys burned bards not capping skills. The amount of normal NMs that will resist outright are fairly small, although more common for +2 and empy NMs than seal.

4 skill is basically 3.6 macc, compared to 20macc from a NQ ele staff, or 30 from HQ. Chanters is basically a piece used only to break singing skill tiers. There are better options for any other use.

HQ ele stave is "Magic acc +30" for that element. if you made the magian acc staff of that element it would be "Magic acc +60" if I recall right, definitely worth the time if you have it

This, if you are dedicated to BRD.

Also see you also have blm and sch, so don't sacrifice the main dmg staves for macc on brd unless you are a purist brd.

This pretty much, there are those NMs (VNMs) that seem immune to a specific element, then your kind of ***out of luck.
