Another Crossroad

*If you don't like stories, skip to the bottom*

Our lowman set is coming close to being done with abyssea. We already do voidwatch, but stone and droprate make that an event that I don't care to do all day every day. With the announcement that SE planned to increase alexandrite drops and expand nyzul (with alex drops as well) my roomate came up with a plan. His suggestion is to transition our abyssea set into a relic/mythic set. All of us have run the salvage/nyzul gauntlet several bajillion times and know what to expect.

I am normally pretty practical. In this case I realise that, even though I would kill a penguin for a Ryunohige, it won't be practical to get something accomplished in a decade. Not only do we already ahve to get everyone captain rank. We have to do it again for each member who wants mythic. Then we have to split the (currently) sparse alex supply between whomever is making a mythic.

I always had a love affair with Ragnarok. I made Caladbolg to try and satisfy the urge I've had for Ragnarok since NA release. I was so pleased with Caladbolg that Dark Knight eclipsed my other job usage 10 fold (aided by the fact that I could get so many staggers on drk). I now and considered by most drk main, despite my love affair with drg that spanned almost 10 years.

Conversely, Apocalypse has not only been one of the most fear inducing relics, it also carries a certain amount of fun and versatility. The self-heal quality coupled with the a-little-less-broken-than-it-used-to-be aftermath gives me the impression that regardless of the future, I am never going to regret making Apoc (even for novelty purposes if Relics fall below the items on the horizon).

The thing that makes me most skittish is my luck. I have a long history of obtaining powerful items the moment before they become obsolete. I worry that if i choose Ragnarok the next update will see Apoc get a "pass the hard cap" buff similar to aegis (hell with my luck they'd make it independant magic based haste too). Then again if I pick Apoc, they'll make the next GS weaponskill crit based and Rag will be truly rediculous.

*TL;DR*: Apocalypse or Ragnarok: Factual, Mathmatical, Novelty, or Sentimental.

If you think I'm an idiot, or this thread is pointless, please at least humor me. The forum is my "relief" from work between quotes and I'd enjoy it if this thread at least had some nice discussion for me to consider.
