worried about the latent effect going away?

on MP drain.

Let's say it is less than or equal to 5 mp/sec.

Get a single MP+ gear, and ask your RDM to keep you Refreshed.

Ta-daa! problem solved.

I would suggest this to WARs with some MP equipment, but probably not PLDs -- they need all the MP they can get.

I've had a pair of these for some time and did some testing to discover how they work. Its very simple.

Put on the Rune Bangles and they are not actice until you go into a combat stance (Attack) the target, then they begin their effect while draining MP from your MP Pool. No low HP or bellow 100 TP needed. It only activates when you are in combat stance.

All rune items have a hidden stat of -mp/sec

That being said..
The latent effect is activate as long as you have the MP to get drained. When you run out of MP the latent effect wears off

Im sure the +32 DEF latent affect would be good for a PLD or WAR but as it is a latent affect i can see the sub jobs to activate it begin PLD or WAR....
activation?

It does nothing unless the latent effect is activated... interesting. Anyone know what the conditions for activating this piece of gear are?

I believe the latent effect is activated by a hidden, constant MP drain. Therefore, someone who equips +MP items would be able to gain the nice stat bonuses by keeping their MP up in battle.
