    It would make a lot of sense to me if nukes get waived MP costs during combos, just like WS's get waiver TP costs, but that's not really the cast right now....so lame
    THIS

    Melees pump out tons of damage quicker and at half the cost comparitively to THM. and THM isnt a good healer, i dont see it being used very much especially in boss type fights.

    I've been watching streams of other LS's trying out Moogle fight with different class comps, some even doing stuff like 4 thaum. I must say, the moogles got burst down VERY fast, and the nuke damage is very high even with the level differential. Even still, I don't think that damage is sustainable with the mana issues.

    I've also tried nuking with Conj in Cleric Stance, but the overall spell damage is still weaker to that on thaum. On top of that, I still run into mana troubles when constantly nuking, even with Blissful Mind giving me mana every minute.

    Truth be told, this may all be just because they're thinking long term and the Blm skills will fix nuking sustainability. But still somehow, I feel like waiving MP costs on combos wouldn't be too bad of a temporary measure.

    this is my exact experience thus far as well

    i LOVE the damage output, but i do not feel it matches the lack of MP regen options.

    this is what really gets me
    Necrogenesis (THM HP regen skill) is a fantastic ability which can be equipped by CNJ, yet.... Blissful Mind (CNJ MP regen skill) cannot be equipped by THM? a bit ridiculous i think.
    if both mages MP regen skills could be cross classed, then i would not only see this as no where near OP but allow us to have a few more options.
