    Diabolos's Rope and Soulscourge or Caller's Sash and the magian staff for magical bloodpacts? From what I understand there's a 5% chance for the set bonus to kick in when blood boon procs, so would it be better to make blood boon proc more often or just gear for maximum bonus on different blood pacts?
    To make sure we on the same page know that...

    -Augment Blood Boon Proc rate = 5.16% (This is only AF3 Gear that effect Augment Blood Boon THIS DOES NOT HELP WITH SAVE MP)
    Job Trait Blood Boon Proc rate = 47.74% (This is gear outside AF3 THIS DOES NOT HELP WITH AUGMENT BLOOD BOON.)
    **Job Trait Blood Boon stacks with Non AF3 Gear**

    They do not work in correlation with each other
    Blood Boon Augment is only for damage
    Blood Boon is only for saving a % of MP based of a chance of a % to proc.

    Each +X Blood Boon is 1.8% Proc Rate for saving MP I would say use your best judgment on when you want to deal a bit more damage or to save more mp but I feel that between how much MP you save vs how much damage is somewhat on a equal plane.

    I use

    Full AF3
    Soulscourge
    Diabolos Rope (I would use caller sash but don't have yet.)
    callers earring
    Gifted earring
    Tiresias' Cape
    Eidolon pendant

    I don't see where you get this, when I did the test when blood boon first came out I mirrored it to conserve mps, with an inherant % of 25, and any + gear gave +X %. With the spats that I got the day after the update and my test, it showed a 26% proc rate (with +3 blood boon). Sample size was only 50 mobs but 26 is closer to the estimated 28 than what you're claiming should be 1.8 x 3 = 5.4 +25 = 30.
