SCH question concerning MP consumption vs WHM MP consumption
DISCLAIMER: I main BLM. My 2nd job is a reasonably equipped SCH (i90) which I run for some endgame content, namely ifrit, garuda, and moogle ex.
So I was in moogle ex the other day and everything was going well until a new whm joined. He wasn't using esuna for any of the game breaking debuffs (2x moogle go round debuff, and the 3x charm chains debuff) which I feel is the crux of healing that fight.
After the 3rd wipe, I said to him "hey I need some help dispelling those effects."
He immediately got defensive, pointing to my mostly full mana pool as an indication that I wasn't pulling my healing weight. I wasn't parsing, so I couldn't argue against his claim with proof.
But, considering SCH has multiple ways to regen MP as well as multiple heals that don't even consume MP, was I correct in telling him he was full of it? I have my pets embrace macro'd to lustrate, and aldo, as well as having it on its own macro which I use in conjunction with physick when I need to. I also macro whispering dawn to rouse, and often use it in conjunction with succor. As a result, I find it pretty easy to manage my MP and only really dip down to critical levels when I have to raise peeps.
Our discussion devolved into the typical mmo arguement of "i'm right, you don't get it. No i'm right, you're a noob. L2P. Blacklist, you can have this.. etc etc etc." But like I said, I'm not a healer main, so outside of a few primal endgame encounter (which I normally have no problem healing) my experience is pretty limited.
