Summoner's MP issues

[Kevee]

Other classes don't have to deal with this. Melee have Invigorate, which generally keeps their TP up well enough that they don't run dry,

oh how ignorant

Panda, this isn't a "ACN/SMN vs. BLM" thread.

This is an "ACN/SMN vs. Everyone else" thread.



Yenn, you're a joke. This, combined with the crying thread about conflags/dreadknights?
For anyone who isn't aware about that, here it is: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-and-Twintania

Seriously, learn to play. ED over Fester is a DPS gain if you need MP. If you have a BRD ever singing mana song, you shouldn't have a problem.
If you use ED, it's a ~25 DPS loss if you don't need the MP, and it's a DPS gain if you do need the MP. ED + Anything but Ruin > Fester. That 266 MP can be used for a Bio II/Bio/Miasma/Thunder/SF cast, which out damages Fester.

Learn to manage your resource, just like every single other class/job but BLM.

Yes, we run out doing our optimal rotation.

How is that a bad thing? Go ask a MNK how fast they bleed dry if they want to fit in any Impulse Drives.

Resource management is something that needs to be present, otherwise you shouldn't have a resource at all. That's WHY they gave us Energy Drain and Aetherflow(and pots) in the first place.

Decisions have to be made, and that's a good thing.
