MP pool and death

Red Mages are supportive!

Most healers have instant heals that affect an area of 15 feet around them that they weave in while topping off the tanks and doing damage. How far away from the healers have you been standing exactly?

Here's a really /BAD/ doodle of it but basically if you're out of that circle and have to be single targeted, you've already made your healer angry because now they need to baby sit you. Try keeping close if the fight allows it.

I meant that when you're rezzed you barely have any MP. Even if lucid dreaming is up, if you raise someone then you won't have any MP to attack with.

I used to enjoy throwing a Mana Shift to pay the cost back (I'm pretty sure the shifted MP was just about the same as the rez cost). Was always a bit of a shame to be on such a long cooldown. I might not have minded very much being the healer's backup MP battery.

Yes, that's right.

Casters in general aren't supportive anymore. We are maids at best. With the loss of Refresh and the increased costs of spells completely cancelling out the buff to lucid, we are bad maids at that.

Losing apoc, erase and manashift while having 2 less role skills than any other role solidifies that. Mnks with mantra literally provide more support than us in optimal skill play.

I am sorry I am not a robot and human error will happens and most of my deaths are because the healers zone out and only heal them selfs/tanks leaving me to die to an raid dmg thing. Because melee no longer have a TP problem after getting raided up, I think this would be a good fix to the MP problem.

I'd probably start thinking about bringing meds with you if this happens more often than not. That minor amount you recover from them not be much, but it's better than nothing. Or meld for piety to recover mp faster on one slot or two. *shrug* There's not much you can do if you die again and again due to raidwide mechanics because of party shenanigans.

But yes, I do agree, a nice boost to get the dead casters back up and running instead of just losing out on dps/co-healing is something we really need. Even 50% mp recovered on resurrection is still better than nothing.
