lol I was borrowing Alkys from a friend and using Osode. Here:
Don't have a Kabuto yet? I suggest you make your LS get on that ASAP. Kabuto owns for SC damage.
Yeah Hecatomb Cap first choice for Steel Cyclone macro, then Genbu Kabuto secondary, Both STR and VIT are 50% modifiers, strength having the greater emphasis.
Just stack up the STR and VIT and you should be able to own Byakko.
I've done just shy of 1800 with /thf and meat.
And 2100 with /mnk full boosts and mighty strikes+300% cyclone
You should easily be able to hit 1400 without any Hecatomb, on Byakko
