    I didn't know summoners actually had issues with MP...I always thought they had ways to maintain unlimited MP.

    If we want to sustain our max DPS(AKA using Thunder, Shadow Flare, and Fester) then we need mana after ~3-4 minutes or so. It gets worse if you need to battle rez, or need to AoE.

    We can have "unlimited" mana but it severely lowers our DPS.

    -Song isn't only for us.

    -Our single target turns into AoE as needed.

    -It doesn't severely drop your DPS as much as you think it does, as long as you apply your DoTs properly. Cutting out 3 attacks(240, 250, and 300 potency) and replacing the 240, 250, with 80, and 300 with 150 is pretty big.

    -We are the battle rezzers when needed.

    -You have the skills, use them.
