Totaler Stress³

Diabolos' favor is fine if you're sitting around doing nothing and your PT needs MP, but if you're fighting something and you want a SMN to sit there with diabolos out and not use a BP at, because this will reset favor, then why bring SMN at all? If you're so hard pressed for MP bring a RDM or an extra BRD.

All of Diabolos' BP are pretty useless these days. Night Terror does more consistent damage than Holy Mist or Lunar Bay but that's not saying much. Dream Shroud doesn't do anything if you have an Acetic's Drink up, his Phalanx is useless, and let's not forget the glorified dispel move that can't KO an EP mob with over 50% hp.

it "can't" KO a EP mob with less than 50% HP either. I've seen no coorelation between how the mob checks or how much HP it has left and success rate.

No, this is reality. You have a "I still only play Abyssea" attitude if you think mages can't run out of MP. Even in VW you can run out of MP if you're unlucky with procs for a while, not to mention Legion and anything that will be added after that. Or what's your magical solution to MP depletion when you're trying to get AM and ga/ja procs? How is my Abyssea leveled brain (which isn't the case, by the way) not seeing the obvious, which you so clearly do?

It's a tired phase that I don't realy use, but if you're runing out of MP "You're doign it wrong" and you should realy adress how you're playing said mage job. You drone on about procs. If you're in a system where you have to get procs, guess what? You have temps. I've never run out of MP in VW. You need to learn to cast more efficiently and if that's too hard to understand, you need to go out and learn for yourself what efficientcy means.
