Abs-Atk = 24 atk for 1m 11s

So with all that up Doomspike II does ~850 fully buffed, 950+ with Maim. LNC is sorta crazy now, but this fight is still about being aware of everything so gear itself or any particular class won't make you auto-win in it though obviously it does help.

Should make everyone that wanted a hard fight very happy though, now commence casual raging to get it nerfed D:
Why would casuals care? Crafted gear with materia is superior to anything Ifrit drops. The players that enjoy hard fights will kill it anyway for the challenge and the casuals will still attempt the fight but not care either way because they can get their shinies regardless.
