SMN mp needs sorting out

[Sunako]

...

If they increase our mana pool 1k+ more it is almost same if we do not have mana bar at all. Do you want that?

Pet damage increase would cover that 10 - 15 dps what we lost in the long fight by using energy drain. In the first 5 minutes we do not need use energy drain at all then rest 5 - 8 minute we are losing around 20 dps per minute. So buffing pet damage by 10 - 15 dps would cover the dps that you lose by using energy drain. I think it is pretty good you get direct punishment if you move and spam ruin2 because other classes lose their dps too by moving except bard.

No, it's not a matter of punishments, it's a matter of dps optimization. Players managed to solve DPS loose by either using positioning tricks (meeting point behind Bahamut during mega flare) or by using skills as Cover during earthshocker.
When you need to optimize at its best your DPS as SMN for contents, there is no way to solve your MP issues with the above solutions. The only answer will be to make your BRD sing Ballad and so... It mean to add an extra handicap to the whole team.
If you don't use ruin2 while executing the mandatory movements then your dps will drop dramatically, just like using Energy Drain over Fester during fights that need an heavy DPS check.

If they increase our mana pool 1k+ more it is almost same if we do not have mana bar at all. Do you want that?

Just like BLM? And how this would be a bad thing? Please, explain
They clearly moved into the "let's make a ton of adds" + "ton of movements leading to one shot mechanics if not done properly" for fcob
We don't "need" an infinite mp pool as SMN, we just need to be able to play at its maximum for a DPS optimization matter. Just like a BLM.

And you didn't answered to my question by the way, did you ever put a step as SMN in fcob? all turns?
