Hi guys, I'm putting a Shen run together for my linkshell, and while I have looked at the wiki and other sources for how to succeed in the fight, I wanted to hear from all of you who have done the run. What setups and/or strategies have worked for those of you who have done this fight? Basically any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Zerg. A bunch of heavy DD 2 houring or a load of BLM.
If it's still alive after 40-60 seconds you may have problems.

I've never fought Shen and probably never will (Reverend Mail is a blah piece, especially nowadays; I'm not even willing to help people get this because I'd much rather help them get something better) but yeah, from accounts that I've heard, it's generally easiest if you take it down fast.
This fight sounds a hell of a lot harder than it really is. Basically all you do is stick a tank in front of it and a bunch of DD around it. If the fight takes longer than thirty seconds, you're doing it wrong. You don't even need to bother with two hours. It really is a very easy fight.

This fight is easy but it can go wrong very fast. It's nice if you do have some serious skillchains going off but it can be zerged down with some heavy hitters.
A long time ago peeps would have SAMs sc and MB, it's still a viable strategy but basically it's about going all out very fast.
You can have RDM drop out of the alliance to silence/grav any ele's if they pop.

My advice for Shen is to not bother. Reverend Mail is junk.
I wouldn't rule out Reverend Mail just yet. There's still a small chance we'll be able to MAKE it useful, with the new "Trial of the Magians" system!
At the very least, if we can get a few points of Attack and Mind on it, then melee loons like myself can ditch the ugly Royal Redingote for something more exciting or exclusive/efficient!
Or, if we find/add enough Haste, we might even be able to justify a Dual Wield Royal Redingote, since we'll have DW3:
DW2+Suppa=20% -> DWRR@3% -> 23% = 3.75% increase
DW3+Suppa=30% -> DWRR@3% -> 33% = 4.29% increase
(for the record, I am still preparing myself for major disappointment, just in case...)

I'm happy that you color coded that because I often find myself having a hard time reading key words that are hidden in sentences.

Oddly, I've had about the same number of people say they specifically like my use of colors, versus those who specifically dislike my use of colors.
So, since I prefer a dash of color in my walls of text, I tend to use color until people complain.
But, I never mind taking the formatting out if it's bothering someone. O:)
I'm sorry about your server, btw. :,(
