I imagine this has been asked a number of times, sorry if so:

Question is, in a normal abyssea XP party, what 2 Atmas (workin on that 3rd - RL FU :( ) are best to go with from the following:

(apologies if spelt wrong, V tired)

Razed Ruin
Mounted Champion
Stout Arm
VV
Sanguine Scythe
Ebon hoof

These are the ones I know I now have (sister been on my toon this weekend whilst i've been away so have a couple of extra atmas to play with and wondering whats best.)

Thanks in advance ^_^

Am working on the 3rd Lunar.

Just a pain in the *** having the time at the minute especially when a group takes 1hour+ to get everyone there, have people agro because no flux, then see a group take a 2nd glavoid whilst your still gatherin -.- Had no luck with bosses atm!


Which Atma is AoA (sorry, i'm not really upto date with all abbreviations and stuff)

Should just ask if you can join for the win if you see someone killing a zone boss. A lot of groups will let you in as long as you agree not to engage the mob if they don't want you to. Nothing better then standing around doing nothing leeching wins! Just be polite about it, and try not to ask someone who's either main tank or main healer... Or expect to wait for a reply.

Ahh of course!

Yeah, that's something I want. Good thing, I have my sister and her partner to play with, so can hopefully get moving on at least getting popsets for bosses and working toward Shinryu.

Kinda wish I'd gotten into the whole abyssea quest craze at the beginning and gotten it done with.. but eh, hindsight is a beautiful thing, right -.- lol

Razed Ruins is a definite go. Depends on the situation for the others though, I'd say Apoc and VV if youre in an exp/TE party. And maybe choose between Sanguine Scythe, Gnarled Horn, and Razed RUins etc for tanking. Just my rough guesstimate.

Yeah I did this with Bri.. Made a point one day of visting spawn points n just throwin some stones at it see if I could get in on Wins, luckily a trio of Japanese players were taking it down, Auto-translated and let me join.. 3/7 atm though, had no lucky elsewhere.

got into a Resheph party too.. and sure enough, Jeuno worked its magic and had another 2 shouts goin up for other bosses I needed, but was too late after Resheph, they'd all been done ;-;

Don't know about your server, but on Lakshmi there's always /sh for either caturae or boss wins. Usually items locked to whoever has the pop set and/or brew to make the win fast. When waiting to see if anyone is doing a boss fight, can always see if there's decent mobs nearby that you can solo and build some TE while you wait as well. Blm is great for that, either sleep/nuke or gravity kite and nuke.

Appreciate the help.

Razed Ruins - Gnarled Horn - Roaring Laughter

Thems is boss for monk. When im tanking something nasty ill pop Winged Gloom instead of one of the three. Which one i dont use depends on what mob/s. These are Monks favorite TANKING atmas.

True, I forgot the 15 hits that TA procs on lol, but the end result is right I'm pretty sure.

Also, don't b hatin on my 4 hits bish.
The rest of it is off as well.

Hitting more has absolutely 0 to do with your critical hit rate. Your critical hit rate is your critical hit rate.

Hitting 130 times instead of 100 isn't changing your crit hit rate.

That is a horrible combination not only for monk, but also for ninja.
