Reminder, I do not have blade: Hi.
After testing this atma out for a week or so, I am happy to report that the absorption is great, the status effect resistance is there but less noticeable. The +30 stats doesn't make a noticeable difference, but like cruor buffs, maybe you dont notice them till they gone.
I have had the Resist! message show up quite often and its always nice to see that my whms dont need to remove a slow / para / curse as much. Additionally the resistance adds a significant advantage to enemies (like gnats) that have an added effect to their normal attacks.
The 10%~ Absorb is freaking great though. It can proc on ANY kind of attacks/spells including spikes and throat stab moves that Migawari cannot block.
As far as killing regular mobs, there is a noticeable reduction in my TP and damage output by not having VV, for example on. So at this point, if you are killing some rough NMs on a lowman setup, I would say give Apoc/RR/Savior a shot. Regular mob farming, you should use seomething else.
On a side note, I did fight a Sobek using Savior/Einherjar/RR. Death never landed on me but I had a hard time keeping hate because Apoc is just so good. I would like to try Savior/RR/Apoc on Sobek and see how often Death lands. As of now Savior doesnt do ***to save me from Tefenet's death move. So atm, I cannot say that Savior replaces Einherjar.
In Conclusion, there are atmas for different situations:
1) if you want to proc reds, you should use VV or plaguebringer
2) if you want to deal damage you should use SS or GH
3) if you to increase survivability, use Savior or Future Fabulous
