What ATMAS to use

[Kits]

Hello, I've been on and off with 11, and when servers reboot (15 mins) i will consider myself a nooby again lol..

With all this new aby stuff its hard to get back in the game. Now im hearing, "Dont offer to do this as blue if you dont have your atmas" well instead of not doing something, what atmas do i need? im currently level 55,
thanks!

Most of the atmas you need is achieved by camping Jeuno, they are plenty of shouts. Generally Razed Ruin, voracious violet, Minkin Montrosity (are widely considered the big 3), these are mainly refresh and damage atmas. Some others that are good in a pinch or for tanking NM's and zone bosses which I'm the backup tank to our NIN, would be Gnarled Horn, Cloak and Dagger, Apocalypse, even some good nuking atma if you choose, there are several others that are good as well. Here is a link that lists the atmas on wiki: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Atma definitely take some time to read up on it.

Yeah, it's very situational. The first 3 mentioned though will serve you most of the time. It gets much more specific when you start fighting NM's. However, some can be rather difficult to get if you don't have a good group trying to get them.

MM VV RR for DD
atma of the ultimate, MM, and atma of the impregnable tower for Magic casting I would say

Can't mention Atmas without mentioning Apocalypse. Obviously a bit more down the line but honestly, if you don't have Apoc and Abyssite of Discernment yet you should be working on it, as it makes the rest of Abyssea a lot simpler. Once you get that you'll have to choose between 2 atmas for pretty much any job. I like to have MM Sea Daughter and Apoc for building lights and procing Yellow/Red/Blue, otherwise go VV MM Apoc for DD since most spells have STR modifier.

I'm really suprised noone mentioned Mounted Champion in addition to the survival aspects that it carrys with Vit+50
regen+20/tic and lowers enmity as you take dmg, Its also the other modifier for quad continuum and delta thrust. From a pure magic DD perspective this blows RR out of the water, I use VV MC and MM I average 1800 delta thrusts and 3200 quad continuums without the use of efflux or chain affinity. With CA and efflux active, dmg is enough to one shot almost any normal xp mob barring resists and have pushed it as far as 8k dmg on NMs.

This is a misunderstanding. What it does is decreases how much enmity you lose when you get hit. In other words, it helps you keep more enmity.

I could have swore there was something in the information section awile back that clarified that it was mistranslated from the japanese version, maybe im crazy but from the description it has on it now not sure if it was changed it sounds like you lose more enmity for being hit. Description is (Enmity decrease when taking damage) which would mean lowers your enmity when you get hit. I know our Pld tank doesnt use it anymore because its impossible for him to hold hate with it on he just uses the -PDT atmas now and holds hate fine.

so what atma would I use for soloing, party, and taken down a NM?
