    Default Sublimination in Salvage

    Anyone else experience issues with sublimination not working at all in salvage?

    Scholar in my group reported that sublimination was only giving 2mp total every time, no matter how long it was charged. I was 2boxing at the time, so I'm not exactly sure of is sequence of actions and what not... but he was the only one with magic at the time so no refresh or anything should've been hindering. And yea, I know the end sublimination amount will be less because of hp pathos, but shouldn't give a flat 2mp as far as I'm aware.



    edit: Waaait a second.. doesn't sublimination stop working if your current hp is under 50% of your max hp? He was under hp pathos, so that would explain that... but that just seems like its working incorrectly :\

    Your own edit is the answer, yes.

    Sublimation checks your max hp, not your pathos-capped HP. You get 1 tick (2 hp > 2 mp) and then it stops because you are below 50% of max after that tick.

    thats strange because I just used yesterday sublimination in arrapago and got 112 MP back, and I had HP pathos on me. tough I have 3 merits into HP.

    Did you have SJ unlocked and any HP gear before getting your HP cell?

    (Very unlikely since we are talking about arrapago, worth asking nonetheless)

    were you keeping stoneskin up, would that let him keep getting the hp/mp tic?

    I had stoneskin up, that would probably let me keep sublimation on

    yeah. our whm/sch bitches on a daily basis about this problem. if you're inflicted with the HP pathos (which many of our mages w/ stoneskin leave on for lbc so our stoneskin takes the whole hit from missile) if stoneskin falls on you, if you don't have stoneskin up, sublimation falls the very next tick. real pain.

    If you have stoneskin up and you 100% hp, sublimation wont go off... just be sure use sublimation after stoneskin... If you are 499/500 (cap cause pathos) you will get the 2 mp back... icon will change asap to full...

    Sublimination != Sublimation

    It's not rocket science, really.
