Sanguine Rite is kinda lol?

Can this be the black mage stance instead?

You guys realize that this prevents cast interruption and has -25% damage reduction right?

It's basically BLM Manafont but instead of making spells costs 0 mp it gives you mp back based on how much damage you take. If you solo something even moderately difficult, this helps you survive and pull off a full combo without interruption while sustaining your MP. It's pretty much vital to landing the full Fire combo on a pack of mobs.

I don't have the skill yet, but from what I've gathered if the move is used properly it's amazing. It's designed for parties, and best used in conjuction with conjurer skills.

Sacred Prism + Sanguine right is beyond awesome. When done by a THM, the whole party gets the reduced damage buff. Very useful during Ifrit hellfire and moogle king's summon damage and, as a bonus, everyone gets considerable mana returns. I often put the buff on tanks, during big fights, to help their damage mitigation and help keep the gladiator's mana up.

Sanguine rite is also great for moments when you want to nuke a group quickly. For example, I always use it when I have all the skeletons for DH beating on me b/c I'm doing a full fire combo. With Sanguine rite, sentinel, and stone skin I always kill them before I'm anywhere near being in danger.

Just to add to this... with Sentinel up, Sanguine knocks my Hellfire damage down to more laughable amounts like 500-600 hp and then I get about the same amount of mp. Kind of giving an eyeball average there, but it's most definitely useful.

Anyone thinks that sanguine rite (skill tat consumes 336mp) is kinda lol?

Most of the time ur recovery on e mp is much lesser than what u consume lol

Best move evarrrr for a tank. especially when you know you are going to take a bunch of damage.... use it!

How are you a Gladiator and not appreciate this skill? are you using it right?

I use it on Ifrit and can keep a full mp pool throughout the fight. Also helpful on Moogle too, when MP seems hard to keep.
