Devotion

[drewbixcube]

Ok so firstly I'm Elvaan, and even with a bunch of HP>MP gear I still break 1k life on whm and 917MP atm

What I would like to know is what are some cheaper(<.<) but good hp pieces that you guys carry around for devotion.
Also some setups would be awesome too.

I'm taru and I have 1100HP/1000MP using walmart turban, bloodbead ring, BQ and gigant. Dont' know if you can call that cheap.

wish i had bbq :<

Hey there,

I'm Hume WHM75, and my devotion gives about 301 MP (I get my HP to about 1200+ for it). Not sure about cheap, as most of the ones I use are rare/ex.

Make sure to remove your HP>MP items firstly (Rings[Astral/Ether/Serket], Earings[Astral], Zenith Gears, Blue Cape).

My setup is:

Head: Walahra Turban (+30)
Ring: Bomb Queen Ring (+75)
Back: Lieutenant's Cape (+40)
Neck: Grandoise Chain (+10)
Earing: Insomnia Earing (+15), Ethereal Earing (+15)
Ranged: Fenrir's Stone (+30)

Total +215 HP from gear.

Macro them in, cure to full, then Devotion. Sorry, not sure how helpful it is since many rare/ex.

What you definetly can look into are...
Root Sabbots - Almost sold at NPC price for 35 HP - a must
Garden Bangles - around 30k on my server for 30HP - awesome
Forest Sash - only 10k on my server for another whooping 30HP
Yigit Pants - You want those anyway for the 2HMP - 25HP are your bonus



When I really want to go overboard my setup looks like this:

Reserve Captains Mace (30)
Pareoach Protectors Shield (30mp>hp)
Fenrir Stone (30day)
Turban (30)
Tempered Chain (20)
Cassie Earring (50mp>hp)
Bloodbead Earring (25) or Intruder (40hp>mp)
Garden Bangles (30)
Bomb Queen Ring (75)
Bloodbead Ring (50)
Gigant Mantle (80)
Forest Sash (30)
Yigit Pants (25)
Root Sabbots (35)


Brings me to over 1600 HP on WHM for 400s Devotion with a normal subjob. I have some MP>HP gear in there but chances are I am not at full MP anyway. Of course you could say I wasted MP cause I need to cure myself up. But it makes sense to Devote a RDM who has to keep standing - then put your WHM to extended rest with HMP power. I really want to get a Golliard Body for more HP but Salvage once again doesnt make it happen.

My setup gives me 1216.. I should probably take Root Sabots out of storage but it's rough on my inventory (since I actually carry an enfeeble set as WHM).

Main>Seveneyes
Head>Turban
Neck>Grandiose
Ear>Ethereal
Body>Goliard
Rings>Bomb Queen
Pants>Yigit

300 was my devotion goal.. I could do plenty more but I don't have the space to carry it around. Lyra posted a max set if you really want to go that far, I just mostly use what I have on me for other purposes already with only a few more tossed in for devotion-only.

[Eldelphia]

Holy crap lol... I appreciate that there are plenty of times where devotion is used not under pressure but I'm happy enough if I can flash out 250+ in an emergency. Which is far more when I use it. I want the new cape. Not sure I have room for doing more than taking off my convert gear (which I don't have much of anyway lol).

[Winter85]

That's nice. 250+MP sure come in handy.

[Tajin]

Well thanks, now i feel gimpyer I might need to get a few of those pieces for a nicer Devotion i guess

[spooky]

Don't forget HP+ foods. ^_^
I'd list some, but I'm about to enter Gessho fight.
Wish me luck!!!

[Tajin]

Fuck HP foods >_> cookies is where its at.

Edit: Good luck :D

[Lyramion]

Dont feel gimp - the backbone of my HP setup comes from my NIN. I also have 2HP and 6MP merit - sounds strange but it brings me to exactly 0MP on NIN with BB ring and cassie while still beeing able to boost my Elv MP on WHM.

I also did merit my Devotion down to 15 min. 5 minutes dont seem much but it can be the difference between getting to use it once or twice in a Nyzul run or similar.


I usually dont use anything but Cookies for food. Carbonara is only good for E-peen screenshots.



I did survive a full Vrtra Spikeflail tho when watching another LS fight it. 1500HP + Terrastaff + Stoneskin = Happy Elv WHM

[Tajin]

Problem with maxMP, maxHP builds on elvaan, is when switching out gear for Stoneskin Macro, i lose like 200 mp <.<

But is damn sexy when the mob hits you for 5 seconds and stoneskin is still up :D

oh lawd that's the best lol
taking 3 hits from a mamool and seeing 0,0,0 makes me so happy, and yea i lose like 200 mp too :<

My devotion set for Atum will kill my MP, but it is awesome when you aren't at full MP and can explode a Paladin's MP bar. (Or a BLM if he has no other form of Refresh in Dyanmis - Bastok...)

Don't forget about the Coven Hat. Whenever you go over 1034 HP, it gives more HP than Walahra Turban.

[Celebrindor]

just want to state for the record how much we RDMs love you WHMs for devotion. No purpose whatsoever for this post but that. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Convert about 1:12 away from being ready and having about 13 MP go to 300+ MP in a flash.
