BRD: Is THM sub useful?

aoe sanguine rite is ment to regen the tanks MP not reduce the dmg, sure the current blm can add that sweet dmg reduction in the mix but its not the point. And a tank that doesn't currently utilize the overcure hate is not doing their job to the fullest, you can really help keep enmity threashold WAY higher with some cure(cure+aoe) spamming in between cooldowns and for times when things are slow like when waiting for moogle 2hr/moogle to spawn/ifrit jumps/ifrit hellfire etc.

IIRC sanguine doesn't lower damage taken unless you're a thau and have the trait...so all you're getting from aoe sanguine from brd is a kinda not so great +mp effect.

The point is and always has been the MP recovery. Being able to throw it on the tank has great benefit, as the tank usually gets hit repeatedly and heavily, allowing it to make effective use of a recovery rate that is as low as 30% damage taken. The Moogle fight is a solid example of this.

The MP regen song is great and all, but it's going to be a regen. A well-placed Sanguine Rite can lead to immediate and/or very quick MP gain.

The best part? I'm pretty sure both the MP song buff and Sanguine Rite will stack.

Ah, I just see alot of people mentioning throwing it up before primal 2hours or whatever, assumed they were talking about using it as damage mitigation.

i think that they should have balanced the subjobs giving conj and lancer that way we could have good offense and good ssupport roles

agreed, itll be hard to let keen flurry, blood for blood and invigorate go. Bard will have one new WS which will help pick up some of the damage lost.

The problem i see here everyone still wants to play jobs like classes and be self dependent.
