Design Flaws with Atma, let me count the ways

[Ringabell]

Hard work? What makes beating your head against FATE farming for Atma hard work? What makes spirit binding over and over until you get the materia you need for Novus hard work? You're doing all this "hard work" for a weapon that is easily outclassed by other weapons that take FAR less effort to get.

Only outclassed by High Allagan.

...but we'll see how long that lasts. Until the next Relic quest is released, perhaps?
