Which one of these bodies are people swapping to R30 nyame path A for?

Literally impossible to wade through this mess to find useful information

None of them.

Nothing stopping you from doing it though. It's only a couple hundred damage. It's not life shattering.

None of them, for a lot of reasons, including but not limited to:
Nyame is all jobs, and this armor isnt.
Nyame has MAB and this doesn't
Nyame has SCD and this doesn't
Nyame has much better meva
Nyame has more DEF, HP, MDB, etc.

But even still, comparing them to R25 nyame:
Nyame has 2 more WSD than all of them.
Nyame has 10 more STR than Egbesu, 5 more than Nzame, 2 less than Olorun, 3 less than Ruwa.
Nyame has 9 less DEX than Egbesu, 23 less than Nzame, 14 less than Olorun, and 2 less than Ruwa
...You can go down the list and check all the other stats for your WS, but generally speaking: if it's a DEX WS maybe it's better but for the majority of cases, Nyame beats the new armor.

You can swap if you want to sacrifice WS damage on nearly every WS on nearly every job, wear a less defensive piece in your WS set, etc. to trade in for a better TP piece. It's not really a good idea for any job.

If you exclusively play DNC or DRG and no other jobs, the argument could be made. For anyone with even a tiny amount of job diversity, it's a terrible idea to trade R25 Nyame for this stuff. For R30 Nyame, it gets even worse.

I'm sure NM camping and lottery spawns will entice new players to spend 13 bucks/month on a ancient game with ancient graphics, UI and clunky controls.

This is not da way...

I've been considering it pretty hard. I play a lot of jobs, many that would greatly benefit from path a body.

I'm not convinced its a bad choice to make, however it'll mess up your hybrids for sure.
