Since there is talk about Excal and Atonement..
Recently we claimed Nidhogg at like 4 AM and we had a SCH and me for damage. I was lucky enough to get 2 bards so I was able to have Marchx2/Madrigal/Ballad and just with Excal+SCH (1 party, and yes I was also tanking) we had Nidhogg at 5% in about 18min, but we had to hold it for a while after that for a A body buyer to get there. (Yes, Atonement was helping the damage a lot).
Anyway I don't see why people are comparing Burtgang and Excal. Excal does decent melee damage even on Tiamat over time, but what makes it amazing is the procs and Burtgang doesn't have procs. They both are capable of doing Atonement.
Correct me if I am wrong please, but I don't see whats so amazing about Burtgang's aftermath and how it compares to Excal's procs.
