hMP gear question

[NynJa]

Full Yigit set = hMP+8+Refresh
Goliard Glogs, Yigit Legs, Genie Gages, Yigit Body, Yigit Head = hMP+12

which would be the better resting set ? And before people pull the "test it out", I dont have the Goliard Clogs...

[Admo]

It depends on how long you are resting. If you are resting more than two or three hMP ticks, then you are better off going with the hMP+.

[Awoir]

First hMP is restored after 9 ticks of resting (27 seconds)
Subsequent MP is restored every 3 ticks (9 seconds) thereafter.
Put on the max hMP when you're going to get a hMP tick, then put on yigit for refresh until the next tick.

[Tajin]

i would stay in full yigit, and put hMP in other places. Or stack hMP in other places, and do the swap as the above poster said.

Edit: Full yigit because it stacks with ballads and refresh. Of course, if you do have a Refresh body, i believe there is a better set of gear for hMP.

[Isiolia]

I usually just figure Auto-Refresh as basically HMP+3, except of course that you get a benefit from it prior to the first tick of resting. Basically, you're looking at HMP+11 and HMP+12 once things get going, with a head start for Yigit due to Refresh.

What it mainly comes down to is how long you'll be resting. It'll be rather close either way, and your most optimal thing will be to use Yigit initially and then swap to the other set (or swap between the two, but unless you automated it somehow that'd get old fast).

I think Yigit would win out in the overall usefulness battle, as you could use it for Auto-Refresh when standing too.

Second set is better after the first tick. Basically the difference between 1st set and 2nd is 5hmp vs. 1mp/tick, you just have to ask yourself when was the last time someone rested in vermy instead of errant/yigit. That being said, before the first tick gets in, the 1mp/tick will net you more benefit.

[Nirokun!]

yigit is free and a lot of it is useful in other macros, head/hands/feet for stoneskin comes to mind (for non-whm[maybe rdm? but rdm shouldnt have any issue hitting cap with their other mnd gear ])

[Dammerung]

Keep your normal refresh body on until you're about to get your first tick for hmp, then swap to full hmp.

There's also this, which isn't too hard to get

Great piece, but http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/9274 is better.

I want one =/

I think Yigit is more useful since you often have to interrupt resting as events dictate, not necessarily after a recovery pulse so you'll scavenge 1-3 MP from those intervals over time. Plus, that hMP set is difficult to acquire and takes up space. The only thing that would convince me differently would be the super elite hMP set including Mahatma coat and one of the hMP+2 heads which are super rare. Even then I think Yigit would be better for resting periods under 1 minute since you're gaining 9 MP from Refresh before the first resting tick. The whole 'swap between ticks' thing seems out of the question inventory wise.

completely overlooked that piece...

[aurik]

I value 1 refresh about the same as 3.5 hmp.

[Shuemue]

Volunteer's Khud can suck my nuts for not being blm equippable.

[Tajin]

i cant see my LS doing that NM, for an uncertain drop of something so situational . Hell if i was LS leader i would highly doubt of doing it more than 1 or 2 times. (said 1 or 2 times, doing it for the fun)


Now if the 5% was always active...

[Dammerung]

You can do it with 5-6 easily.. don't need any LS just gather some friends and go kill, will take prolly half an hour though. I'm like 2/6 on it now.

[Leeto]

I'd rather blow tags on nyzul to get a goliard chap <_<

[Delekii]

I just use Yigit, I don't know how any BLM or RDM can afford to carry around 2 separate healing MP sets O_O

[Apelila]

What everyone else said. Yigit is useful for the first 2-3 tics, after that other hMP sets blow it away easy.

Having said that, most decent (outside Yigit) hMP gear is retarded to get. I really wish the WHM AF+1 set had better hMP stats, or that the relic set had any at all. Its stupid that as hard as those are to get (i'm looking at you relic +1) they're on the same level as AH-able items.

Thank god someone said it. It sure would be great to carry 2 sets around but Ill be struggling to find space for 2 of those new hmp rings. For now this is what I use which I consider pretty much the best HMP using yigit set for blm. Btw OMG WINDOWER
