Waved or Reduced MP cost for Magic combo's

[Bayohne]

Greetings everyone,

Yes, you're right in that the amount of MP that are required to pull off combos is quite high, but this is due to the fact the effects of these combos (and spells) are incredibly potent. As such, it was decided that they would require a large amount of MP to take full advantage of their added potential.

In regards to the comments that Disciples of War utilize their TP for actions and get waived costs for subsequent combos, this has to do with the fact that magic spells are able to used without first needing to generate TP. This is why this distinction was created.

Since the patch I think players are starting to find additional tricks to mitigate the cost of these spells and I think as time goes on even more avenues will be discovered as players adjust to the change. That said, we will continue to monitor your feedback as we always do and pass it along to the dev. team.

I dont think there are enough mp management skills that thaum has access to, in order to alter the playstyle of sitting and waiting for mp.

simply, if combos are in fact the most effecient damage a blm can do, then the best playstyle for thaum will relvolve around getting mp, however, if the only means for effective mp regen is to stand still and do nothing, this means by and large thats what the playstyle will promote. Im not nec saying they should completely waive the costs, but there needs to be some viable sort of mechanic for regaining mp or else mages will be stand still and do one chain only players.
