I've always found Abysia relatively easu to play, and have found a couple of good pretenders for them that don't really act as SC but whoi nicely patch their weaknesses. And anybody who complains about not being able to get dwarven hammers with Abysia is just plain incompetent. Get earth warlock, forge bloodstone, equip, forge boots, equip, forge hammer, repeat hammer, start cranking out stuff. Having a pretender with E4 or above is also good, because half of your mages (and all of the artillery ones) are sacred, so they get help from the reinvigo blessing, especially if you can equipe them with reinvigo items. My first MP, Back to the Fray, I'm playing Abysia, and I'm not doing badly at all (relatively speaking), but I've also been lucky.
