Confusion over MP regeneration

[Dallie]

I've noticed the same thing. I also know it was intended for you to not regen MP while your hate bar being hate on any mob. But, going more deeply, if you have a DOT effect on, you also don't regen MP. Moreover, during the Ifrit fight, I would randomly not regen MP at all while standing around looking at my party get pummelled to death because my MP would just stay at, say, 9.

I'm guessing this was after you stopped participating, but hadn't died yet to reset hate? So if any actions you'd taken generated enmity, you're still considered in the fight, no?

I died and was raised and the problem still remained, FWIW my mana problems didn't happen until I got hit by Ifrits charge attack, both time.

The way the patch notes worded it, was that your mana would stop regenerating when incurring hate, which means everytime you cast a spell, it shouldn't be a persistant thing otherwise you are screwed the moment you cast a spell.

That is odd...i'd wager that everyone's speculation it's a bug is spot on then.
