I must have had a stroke of good luck and finished socketting Koala yesterday. Hajrudin, story Kidd, and Kyros are all skill maxed and the FN is only half over. The only thing left for me out of this FN is STR Hack sockets, who will be my surrogate WB on some powerhouse and zombie teams. He's currently at 5/1/3/4 in cd, bind, despair, and AH. I'm on the fence on whether or not I should commit to finishing his sockets. I think I might just run the FN when I don't have any thing like colo coming up to save my stamina for.
The whole invasion Shanks situation is kinda weird. I know a lot of people are up in arms about it but I remember seeing images of someone from Japan who maxed Shanks when he came out and had something like 4 colo Dellingers each skill maxed and with unique completed sockets. Running 60 stamina raids will undoubtedly be more stamina efficient if you're specifically aiming for farming Shanks, it's just unfortunate that they chose Kuma and Enel as the first raids. The only teams plausible for Kuma would be TS Luffy, Cabbage, and possibly Cabbage/BB teams. Shanks has actually appeared after raids in Japan. Gamewith has teams for beating Shanks after Zephyr, Duval, Shiki, Tesoro, and Kizaru raids. It's not unprecedented that he's showing up after raids, I think the anger is more directed on how ambushes are being handled on global in general.
As it stands, we're probably just getting Shanks earlier than we should be. It might have been more reasonable if it hadn't taken so long for Global to actually get coliseum but right now it'll still be a few months away until we get 50 stamina colo bosses. I think I'll give Shanks farming a chance and just socket my story Enel along the way. I have a SW Ace team that should be able to handle both. I'd have more options but I'm still annoyed by the lack of a raid Sabo return. Just about every other raid boss I've tried maxing right away but I decided to not push myself on Sabo and now it's somewhat biting me in the ass.
