I have one, but Obi doesnt work 100% of the time~ So crimson belt wins in the majority if situations. :P

Roughly +50% drain or Aspir potency, according to Wiki.

Yeah, spellcast can take care of anrin obi and macro it in for you when on darksday/dark-weather etc.

No point in using anrin obi if it's not darksday/dark-weather.

Even if you don't have or don't use spellcast, you could still have to 2 macros with two dark magic gear sets. One set that has crimson belt and another set that has anrin obi, and use them appropriately etc.

Edit: And yes, Nether void adds 50% to your absorb-attribute spells, and 50% to Drain/aspir etc.

I mostly reserve my Nether void to boost my Drain II whenever I cast it.

I'm not sure by how much the enhances neither void effect, from the new AF3 legs, enhance Neither void.

I have not been able to play this game in like 3 weeks or so, so I don't have those legs yet, and I haven't really seen anybody post any tests on it.

I haven't noticed any big buff to Drain/Aspir. At most I drain 20-30 more with the occasional 60ish more. It's not a whole lot really.

Edit: Those 20-60 more aren't even unusual because I could do that before I had these legs.

Or unless you have a SCH.

It's not uncommon for SCHs to Accession+Voidstorm, from what I've seen, currently. Gives +3 to all stats so the whole party can benefit rather than just a select few BLMs or SAMs.

Also assists anyone with Aspir in keeping their MP up.
