Latent effect n00b question(I used search>.>)

[geno3302]

My question is about the Conjurer's Ring. I know it's active when HP less then or = to 75% and you have under 100% TP, but I've been told the latent is based off of your base HP. So, if you get HP+25% in gear it would be active full time.

In return I give you some

As far as I know you need to reduce your HP base. SO if you have 1,200 HP, and 200 of that is from gear, you need to go down to 750HP(75% of 1,000(Base)), not 900(75% of gear).

What about losing 25% of your HP from gear?

to the OP:
people do this with gear

a 'sorc ring setup' (or conjurer in this case) does not entail lack of stoneskin to get hit

a proper setup (say a ton of zenith, serk ring etc) will be equipped to reduce max hp, then swapped out for other pieces so that you can be at 75% hp or less without the need to get hit

that being said, if you have yellow hp from being hit, this also counts

there is a way to be at 75% hp without yellow hp but this confuses my brain slightly; if it confuses you too then ignore i mentioned it, just use <hpp> to check

Base HP before Convert HP->MP gear.
I'm not sure if SMN ring works the same, but that is how the Sorcerer's Ring works.
Just for a simple example, say if you have 1000 HP on BLM (Galka BLM! lol) and wear Zenith Mitts thus bringing your HP to 950 HP. The calculation for the latent will be done on 1000 HP, so you'd have to get lower than 750 HP for it to work even though your current max HP is 950.
That is the simplest way I can explain it, if you need more clarification then just ask away

As a taru BLM to make my Sorc. Ring work full time I used Zenith Crown/Pumps/Mitts/Slacks/ Penitent's Rope (-20 HP) and Merciful Cape to get my latent working (reason I used Merciful is so it would remove 10 HP from Prism Cape).

in steps:
1.) get in the gear you want to be in w/o any convert HP->MP (if you want some in this slot just take it off. +/-hp counts to your base. or at least this is what i have been told)
2.) this is your base HP for the 75% calculation
3.) use -HP and convert gear to get you HP to 74% of your base
4.) switch to your main set and enjoy your latent.

Note that some of the rings (WHM Medicine ring) you have to be in yellow, regardless...
