You will be fine. Since the OP was asking for more refresh inside Abyssea, I'm not confident the everyday SMN knows that the game is moving on.

Geeze, you really are the sunshine for every SMN out there?

To everyone else: Put on as much -perp gear you can, and you can have free avatars. Throw in the +1/+2 Caller's Horn and you get some MP back too. Add /RDM, and you can have +6 mp Refresh outside of Abyssea. Then you won't have to worry about MP (or in Dallas's case, wiff for MP).

Korpg, you said yourself you only play SMN to solo NMs in abyssea. It appears you wouldn't play the job at all, if not for my guidance. You are welcome.

Have you tired of being in my shadow yet?

If ur gonna get an atma like this, I sugges that you get it from finishing Carbuncle Prime quest "Waking the Beast" ^^

Thats not to say a decent combination of critical hit and mab on an atma would be nice, but I can only ever see SE adding one or two synthetic atmas in the future.

Conceded much?

You are too narrow minded to give anyone any advice. I suggest you discover an actual DD job and learn to play that, and you will question yourself as to why it took you so long to realize the errors of your ways.

LOL necrobump, fanboy.

There are others elemental atma that is specific to each avatar that adds more damage to tier 2 bloodpact, also there are elemental resist atma that will make your avatar fully resist specific elements (wind, fire, etc...):

For Ifrit:
Atma of the Smoldering Sky, defeating Smok, spawned by trading a Hollow Dragon Eye to the ??? at (E-9)

For Shiva and Carbuncle
Atma of the Beyond

For Ramuh:
Atma of the Lion, defeating Hadhayosh, spawned by clicking the ??? in the very NW corner of K-8 (on the borderline of K-7) with the key items Glittering Pixie Choker, Blood-Smeared Gigas Helm, Bloodied saber tooth and Marbled Mutton Chop. Triple attack and 10% damage reduction, plus thunder 40% more damage.

For Leviathan:
Atma of the Noxious Fang, from zone boss in Abyssea - Konschtat, Kukulkan.

For Garuda:
Atma of the Gales, defeating Alkonost, spawned by trading Giant Bugard Tusk to ??? at (H-6) (North-East corner near wall/mountain).

For example, if you are fighting Ironclad type monster which is weak vs water, you use Noxious Fang as one of your atma combination to boost Grand Fall damage. If you go solo tanking for this mob, you use Noxious Fang, Ducal Guard and Minikin. Or if you are duo where MP is no problem, then Noxious Fang, Ducal Guard, and Atma of the Beyond.
