Best back piece for magical blood pacts, but the BP Delay -3 allows us to hit the -15s cap without augmentted items like the Fay Crozier or the Moogle Kupo d'Etat cape.
Only thing extra merits on summoner teir II BP's do is a TP bonus, doesn't enhance Damage past the TP Cap.
That being said, even only a single merit on a 75BP Can out-do 70BP's on fights on high Defense enemies.
All these MAB Items are soooo sooo nice to have, i welcome them =x
Edit: Just for the slower people who seem to be missing my point, I'm not saying don't put full merits into 1, I was responding to someone (who isn't listed anymore) who said that the 75BPs were useless with 5/5 merits in one, and i'm saying its not true.
Of course you want to Max at least 1, but that's not to say a Single merit one of the 75's can't be effective.
Main advantage of this item is it allows you to substitute AF3 Pants (Blood Boon) instead of relic pants while keeping the 45 second BP timer cap from gear (not counting Fay Crozier since there are better augments)
Halimede drop. Easy SMN solo at 90, only thing to be wary of is Chainspell which is usuallly at ~25% HP. Hate reset on every spell during chainspell, so kiting for 1min is the best solution. 1/10 on drop, last fight I managed to trigger blue with staff(took Voracious Violet atma for regain).
Yes, but practically speaking adding extra merits will enhance your damage because most of the time you will be summoning your avatars ad using the BP immediately. Those avatars with extra merits in their pacts will do more damage. Obviously you cannot max each pact (which is a shame) but I do recommend taking one up to lv5.
