What im getting out of this thread is basically, everyone's fine with the MP changes as long as they're not the ONLY healer in the group. That's the way im reading it because just about everyone is in a team with other Conjurers or Thaumaturges who can backup heal.

That is NOT the way this should go people. A healer should be capable. That means being able to shoulder the burden on their own. Not necessarily easily though. I played FFXI which had a lot longer fights and required superior MP management to even FFXIV. The trick to that was we could recover it somehow. We can't here, other than Siphon MP and Tranquility we're completely on our own. The MP regen is a slow trickle effect while out of combat which is fine, but the costs are so high that I find myself waiting on MP more often than im actually fighting!

These costs only make sense if geared purely towards a well made party. For soloists and pick-up-groups, its downright insulting.
