naaa, all you are going to be doing is 11111223451112352311111 wait for tp, and repeat. Same thing as stamina

You do that.

And when you die or cause your group to wipe for being an idiot, get back to us.

When I play mage I spam spells till I'm out of mp and let it regen, it's just like the tp bar. Also, if you're not out of mp as a black mage, you are doing it wrong.

Except properly geared melee classes can out-damage BLM. You're using a poor example, as a PLD tank can hold enmity off of BLM's spike damage.

I have harder time holding hate against Monks than I do Black Mages, and that's where the problem with your theory comes in.

If a well geared MNK or well played DRG decides to spam skills like you said, not only are they throwing some efficiency out the window by not combo'ing, they are also likely to pull too much hate and end everyone's fun.

Don't get me wrong, I respect the power of the BLM. But I also respect the potential of MNK and DRG, which you seem not to.
