I more or less meant "mana management" as learning how to properly use off-globals and other GCDs like Regen and Aspected Benefic, as well as learning to not overheal (by spamming Cure II). At the same time, I can't think of any time past the point of just unlocking tier 2 heals where the mana efficiency of cure 1 vs. 2 ever came into question. That certainly never happens anywhere near the latest content, that's for sure.

I'm somewhat convinced that MP only exists right now for a few reasons:
  • Literally Black Mage (with a dash of Dark Knight and Paladin)
  • Limits Raise usage
  • Keeps piety relevant (but this could easily be changed if MP was removed)
