If it was just plain zergable like Kirin and DL I don't think SE would mind as much.
But requiring a platoon of kraken DRKs to souleater it dead and only this way can AV be killed, probably will be regarded unfavorably by SE, since it's heavy on one job, and "abuses" an ability + weapon combo that leaves all other DDs out.
Only a handful of shells across all the servers can do such a feat, and SE certainly don't want to make it only accessible to them. So instead, they'll just make it inaccessible and everyone will just have to kill it the way they intended it to be killed. They're definitely not gonna go "well this shell zerged it with SE kraken DRKs, but AV's def is too high for other jobs... maybe we should lower it's def so other job can zerg too."
In the meantime though, keep abusing it! Let SE know how shitty their design and their approach to "fixing" AV is.
GET TO DA CHOPPA?
It definitely sounds more like Square to nerf this route than to lower his DEF and make it easier for everyone, but it wouldn't be without precedent (They decided not to force every LS to bring 50 BLMs to JoL, after all), and the changes they already made to AV and PW don't sound like Square either. AV's drops are great, but the game is far from broken if they become as commonplace as, say, Bahamut's. So let's think positive.
Runechopper's a piece of trash now.
Wait, DRKs still use Rune Chopper? Jesus I'm behind the times.
AV was killed many times with a squad of DRKs when it was lockable via Wynavs. They never nerfed SEBW then when they could have easily done so while constantly ninja-tweaking different aspects of AV.
DRKs the new SAM go lvl it everyone!
edit: also grats almost forgot about that part lol. tho i dont like the aerg myself(even tho im a sam...) its still great to see it die.
I really hope these kills don't cause a widespread nerf on zerging in general. It would be so like SE to overreact and do something drastic rather than actually changing one thing.
EDIT: Read that as "I finally got my club after months and if it drops to near worthless I'll die inside"
Y'all are so negative. Hopefully SE is smart enough to realize that endgame would be unbearably tedious if zergs were eliminated.
Oh who am I kidding? I'll miss you 30 second fights!
