It could be atmas, pretty sure atma effects also carry over to pets. Pretty sure there isn't an item to grant pets invincibility. Look around, do a little research and see if you can figure out anything.

Possibly ducal guard atma, -dmg taken atma should stack with avatars native -50% (-55% w/ stout servant) as pet: damage taken -% gear stacks with it. That would be crazy if ducal atma gives anything near 45-50% thats pretty much -100% dmg taken for your avatar @.@

I don't know if theres an atma that works like shadow mantle (occ nulifies physical dmg) but could be that if it exists.

Sorta sounded like you meant atma is more important than gear lol.

But There are people who think they don't need such and such gear because they have "uber atmas" when they're really just gimping themselves by choice by choosing not to bother, like for example SMN that don't bother with MAB gear because they "have enough from atma", or they don't need to try make an avatar free using gear because they have "uber refresh" atmas /rage lol.

Atma & Abyssites ARE more important than gear. That doesn't mean you can go naked to an xp pt and still be ok.

Well, in terms of refresh atma, say these were your only -perp gear and using Minikin:


You're eating up that 10mp/tick refresh just trying to make garuda free, whereas a SMN with

Is gaining the full 10mp refresh from the atma. I guess to put it shortly you can only get the full benefit from atma by putting effort into your gear still. Having the atma and making an effort with gear will outdo someone with just the atma and has a lazy attitude with gear.

And also atmas don't help you outside of abyssea :P

On Wiki, it says (HP Below 50%) Damage Taken-:Superior. Does that mean the player's HP has to be below for the avatar to be near pdt-100%? Or does the avatar's HP have to be below 50%?

I would assume the avatar for it's own atma to kick in, but I could be wrong.

Lmao SE will most likely be gimping that atma in an update when they discover it makes avatars pretty much invincible against non casting stuff.

I'm so getting this atma as soon as I can get back on game <.< solo some NMs with a single garuda.

I seriously doubt you would get banned or anything from this, it's all within the games mechanics, you aren't exploiting anything, you're just using an atma that they created. Too bad for them that they didn't think it would give avatars -100% PDT

I don't have this atma but I can solo a hell of a lot on smn. On Cuelebre I only used a single Garuda and when she would get low I just healed her with whispering wind.

Having good gear, picking the right atmas and practicing you can solo a crap ton of NM's in abyssea on smn. It's a lot of fun :)

Cuelebre is a joke when you have 15mp/tick with garuda out, can spam wind blade and whispering wind as soon as they're up.

For SMN like me thats spent a load of time soloing stuff to the point where you're confident in your abilities, this invincible avatar thing is just a fun gimmick until they nerf it, then its back to soloing the real way :P

You have to complete a few quests, including one that needs fame 3 in abyssea grauberg i think it is, can't find the info I had last night though.

First you need lvl 3 fame in Abyssea Grauberg then need to do Dominion Op's #1,2,3,4 and finish both these quests "The Egg Enthusiast" and "Brugaire's Ambition". This is a synthetic Atma so you have to buy it from NPC. Oh the NM pot is a very easy solo for Monk. Hope this helps and Good Luck.

Neither actually. The Atma is strangely broken and works even when both player and avatar are at 100% hp/mp. Out of curiosity, I solo'd the doll NM in Altepa with it, and my avatar never took a single point of damage. Also, the -movement speed is also active at all times on the avatar, though when fighting an NM this probably isn't going to be too much of an issue.

It may be "fixed" but the higher tier NMs are still only hitting for 40-50 a hit so lol
