This is the new standard for the ammo slot for BLM, and has utility for SCH and RDM, too.
It drops off Lachrymater, a weeper-type NM in Abyssea Tahrongi. The spawn item for the NM is a Moaning Vestige, which drops from the Lamentors @ G-10. Interestingly, these weepers don't have an elemental identity.
With the amount of attention given to Thew Bomblet since the update, it's hard to believe how little attention this item is getting so far.
Dasva is just stating the fact that if you can reach 150 INT without Phantom, there would be no reason to carry it anymore. He is also only talking about elemental DoT's. 150 INT being the current known cap for maximum DoT from them.
Definitely an improvement for damage in the Ammo slot, but that doesn't mean you should sell your Phantom Tathlum as that is obviously INT and will help land nukes & enfeebles where resists might happen. In time when I get this I will carry this, Phantom Tathlum and Sturm's Report to cover all bases.
More stuff for BLM, or SE extends the capacity of the inventory or we will have to switch equip between inventory - satchel everytime we switch between nuke - enfeeble - enchancing - etc...
The NQ weepers drop the pop item regularly and my group of seven (with TH3) got 6/10 drops off this NM in 90 minutes.
The NM is best fought on lightsday or darksday to avoid its heavier-duty nukes; if that's not an option, bring a stunner. A SCH with Stoneskin + Accession or a BLU with Diamondhide will largely negate the damage from "Memory of [element]."
If your unlucky, kiting the Lachrymater to a safe place to fight may result in popping a more than unhappy antlion Myrmecoleon.
But, of course, if you whoop its *** (the Antlion) it drops Owleyes, Kengo Hachimaki (GKT Headwear) and Tactical Mantle, and its beloved (not really) atma of the Impaler.
Try being an Elvaan with STR merits Dasva. I have @LV80 BLM/RDM 68INT as base, there is no way I nuke in over to near 70INT. I even struggle to reach that for Burn, Choke etc, and that's using Kirin's Pole, Errant Houppelande etc, so I gave up due to inventory space.
I'm taru, capped merits and really take pride in my Blm. Just traded my Heca cape in for a goetia mantle and added this to keep the balance. Btw, 150 is super easy; even at 75. Just need merits and Gear. I currently have a 94+62 Int Nuke build
I'm a 80BLM/40RDM taru who only nukes in 120 INT...provided I grab snow rings +4 int, and an ixion cape and sorc's belt +3 int, I'd still be no where near 150. How is 150 INT easy to hit?
