Atma Effects & Discussion

[Not Kuno]

Did a search and the question only came up once with an "I think" answer.

Atma of the Fetching Footpad
"Magic Attack Bonus":Minor
Magic Critical Hit Damage+:Major
"Conserve MP+":Superior

Anyone tested this as a 3rd blm atma? According to wiki the natural proc rate of conserve mp is 25%, could this possibly add +50% making conserve mp a 75% proc rate? It'd have to make up for 40 MAB on a consistent basis since I generally use minikin, beyond, ultimate.

I tried this with the full +2 set and it sucked. Rarely got the +damage bonus (which at this point seems to almost never happen regardless, only happened slightly more with that - not worth the atma spot).

[Malacite]

^ Well that's disappointing

So Minikin + Ultimate + Beyond still the best general use combo? Or ambition for soloing.

[Khiinroye]

Or Minikin + Beyond + Hell's Guardian.

Also, the update notes say that an issue where "Under certain conditions avatars would become immune to physical damage" has been fixed.

A post I saw on Alla had me thinking that it sounds like there might be a cap on -PDT for avatars of 90% now ... but that's pure speculation on my part. I don't have a SMN to test with.

Funereal Apkallu was doing hits of 50ish to Shiva without Ducal, and 11-ish with Ducal. Sort of fits. Varney hitting for 30ish with Ducal on. Didn't check without. The problem is now with enmity generation, as Pacting with Garuda got me hate against Varney. If you can mitigate away the need for Minikin (+2 body, feet, head, magians staff, evoker's ring, /RDM) You could go Ducal Guard/Mounted Champion/Vicissitude or something and still be mostly unkillable.

[NynJa]

Or you could suck less and stop taking an hour to kill shit that should take 5 >.>

Pre-fix I solo'd Awahondo in Ulegrand and got the key item using Ducal/Mini (only have 2 lunar atm).
Popped the zone boss and duoed it with another SMN using ducal right after. Didn't take very long at all.
Glad we jumped on it when we did.

Cool story bro

[Vriska]

4000 Needles from Emperador de Altepa does 500 damage to an Avatar with Ducal active.

Work it out, mathsgeeks~

[Calessa]

That's 87.5% reduction. Did you fail high school so badly that simple division eludes you?

[Vriska]

Nah just can't be bothered. :D

You got it right. Add a pickup group, greed from people wanting all 3 triggers, and idiots arming themselves to kill while triggering, and you find your alliance trying to hold the nm under 10% waiting for a club WS from the only WHM.

The SMN tanked impressively for 5 minutes while people learned their lesson.

You are from bismarck?

I was in that party and that entire paragraph matched something that happened to us lol. I knew it was a bad idea to have the only whm in the ally using his club for blue lol. the SMN took 0 dmg and was using garuda while double weak.
Bennu is weak sauce, but to the person above you that doesn't know. If you feed Bennu TP, you WILL get owned, period. But other then that, I'm sure hes soloable without any difficulities.

Just one last alt. I need my tax refund to complete the move.

[Pergo]

has anyone actually confirmed 'atma of the savior' being 100% on the 3 objectives in all 9 zones? my group has been going around for completion the past few nights. we're currently 5/9 (still no atma obviously).

[Nameless]

I believe JP has found out about how to get it. If anyone can read this page, I believe we will know how to get it.

Seems like you need some titles for it.

Costs 2000 cruor and all attributes +30 for one of its effects.

[Cymmina]

I asked a guy in my shell about it, since he speaks Japanese, and he says that completing all 3 objectives for the zone grants a title and that it looks like all 9 give you the atma.

Interested in the atma... not so interested in scrolling through 20+ pages of atmas. I hope they implement a favorite system or something.

[Nameless]

what are the 3 objectives?

[Argdar]

what are the 3 objectives?

Quests, Abyssite, Atma. I didn't know you'd get a title out of it though. I remember reading way back that someone on the boards had completed all three for one of the visions zones and apparently all you got was a cruor reward. Did they get a title out of it as well?

Hell, did any of these titles show up during the .dat mining right after the update?

[Hanyoko]

what are the 3 objectives?

quests, atma, abyssite : collect/complete all of them from that zone. There is a NPC in base camp that will tell you your progress in all 9 zones.
