Disappointed in sustain change

[Seryl199]

Sustain worked 100% the way I want it to. It chunks a little bit of your hp to keep your fairy rolling through dot or light mob damage. Not only is it efficient, but it fits perfectly in the scholar toolkit of mp conservation, since it is essentially free heals. Now that sustain is being changed to consume mp, why shouldn't I just cast physick on my fairy to bypass the 10s HoT? I'm not sure what the point is in changing the dynamic of a very nice utility and making it obsolete

IIRC, Sustain is off the GCD (correct me if I am wrong...).

[hamsteak]

i feel like it hurts summoners much more than scholars

[Noriega]

Yeah, i didnt see why this was thought of as a good idea at all.

[Maku]

I am assuming they thought it was too easy for us to keep sustain up on our pets. Really I never once thought "I better not use Sustain because of my HP total"

[Lucipurr]

I've been a scholar for months and have never used it..

[Maku]

I've been a scholar for months and have never used it..

Never? Not once? Have you healed AV on SCH? Have you done Titan on SCH? I might believe you have used it sparingly but never having used it is really hard to believe if you have done those two things particularly.

[Madoka]

Sustain is not off the GCD.

It is however, a lot cheaper than I expected. It was 10% of our HP which was fine, but isn't 10% of our MP. I have 3005 MP and it costs 133mp

[Aedra]

That is what SMN/SCH get for those who use sustain to fill up LB gauge.

Ok I want to undesratnd this since my acn is only 24. I thought this was a buff, since with that good mana managemen system that mp cost should be less noticeable then hp loss? (just making assumptions as someone who never played the jobs, as I said)
AS for usefulness, can I only say when soloing fates it's been terribly precious to keep my topaz alive :P
