This gets calculated the second you use the JA, not the moment when the Blood Pact really goes off.
Between the moment when you use it and the moment when your avatar executes the command there are several seconds.
I use the BP in -BP recast gear, then immediately swap to one of the 3 setups (mainly consisting of AF3+2, but not just that since there are better pieces here and there) for Physical BPs, Magical BPs and Buff BPs.
I assumed that was more or less what everybody was doing, but it seems there are people using the same set for everything D:


Oh and why you cant do a staff for smn AND a staff for whm,blm?
Yes and no, depends what you mean.
You can't have the same staff for, say, SMN and BLM, but you could for example get a Surya's staff+3 for SMN and a Surya's staff+2 for BLM.
If you meant the same exact staff then no, can only have one of each so you gotta choose which one you want.
