SMN mp needs sorting out

[Staris]

I think the problem people are getting at is that other jobs don't have this kind of limitation in such severity. For instance, BLM can continue at its max DPS without concern for MP throughout any fight duration... and Melee/Ranged DPS/Tanks can all gain benefit from Paeon, making it far more useful for a BRD to sing that. The only ones who benefit from Ballad and need to concern themselves with MP are Healers, and SMN. Obviously one being way more important than the other.

So as a SMN, we understand that there are ways to manage our MP to improve our longevity in fights, but this restriction does a decent dent in our DPS which means in DPS check or long fights our DPS will tamper off and get further and further away from other jobs.

by other jobs you mean only blackmage right?
because all the tp jobs can/should modify their rotation based on fight length to manage tp. (example not fracturing).
