The last 2 towers are a bit intense, I think I eventually end up with 1500-2000 MP left. I do use adloq on the offtank when the dread comes, but even then I don't get to use adloq much because physick is enough and yeah I agree as we get more and more used to it we use less MP. When you first beat T8, do you need any ballad at all? I personally start dropping to the 3k range when allagan field starts..
