Atma and state of game

[ArkAurelius]

atma literally only exists for the sake of giving grind-lovers something to do with their life. There are tons of other weapons acquirable the same way every other weapon in the game is acquired.


Yet, for some stupid reason, everyone has tunnel vision for the crappy Atma stuff.


Okay, guess 2.2 was a flop then

Well, we have yet to see the actual Zodiac Weapons. 2.2 is just part one of a two timer, so just got to wait till the 2.25. I already decided to go for Masterworks, Best to do Atma out of peak hours on a server and solo fates or just wait for a drop increase.

100 to 110 gear, after all.

I really don't think it matters. The moment I heard about the Atma quest it was obvious to me it's just a grind for the sake of a grind. A quick check on Xivdb confirms it. The Animus weapon is to the Tidal Wave weapons as the EX Primal weapons are to the Zenith. They're just an alternate path to (generally) the same result. One, you grind fates/tomes. Other, you defeat powerful bosses.


And considering the vast difference in power between Animus and the strongest current weapons avaliable, it is highly unlikely these new weapons will outpower any newer ones added to the game anytime soon, if even at all. At the very least, it'll be equal in strength to the non-grindy weapons.
