The idea behind mages (paticularly THM/BLM) is that you manage MP, they deliver spike damage, if you want to go all out then expect alot of downtime. In FFXI when I played SCH my MP would last maybe 4 or 5 nukes and I would be resting (if I didnt use stratagems which was rare).

This is designed so you choose when to use combos not to spam them and cry when you are struggling with MP, If they give THM/BLM unlimited MP (which from your post is what you are asking for) then the only DoW people will use is a tank because THM/BLM will do alot more damage than melee.

Unlimited MP {Thanks for the offer but I'll have to pass} it takes all skill out of playing mages, remember abyssea and how that ended up with giving mages unlimited MP? anyone could play mages after and just spam spells and do a good job.
