I don't set the timing, bub. How much damage my idiot party members takes does.

You have Sacrifice, you have cure, you have Siphon MP. You also have Potions and you can put points in MND or buy MP gear, if you have a MP problem.
Also it depends on what you are doing. Grind Party? Than you need at least a backup healer or a tank who can watch his HP a little? Behest and Leves? Never an MP issue. Soloing? Was never meant to be for grinding!

I definitely just sit around when I'm out of MP. I have nothing more to contribute because 1.18 made sure of it.

1.18 made every party member think for once what they are doing. The amount you could spam healing spells was ridiculous. It was so ridiculous that people stopped thinking of how they could improve their healing.
Now they have to thing more about their stats, their gear and their way to play.

Edit: If you (as a Gladiator) surrounded yourself with mages who "mindlessly" spammed Cure 3 AOE rather than actually use their *** abilities like Spirit Dart, Nuke (assuming you guys BR - wild assumption, though), keep up at least 3 if not 5 Damage-Over-Time, then you were really setting your entire team at a disadvantage and you should fire those guys.

Where are you getting that? I said people could and did spam cure. I didn't say it was all they were doing.
Also i talked from a healer perspective not a Gladiator one.

I mean honestly. Do you really think all there was to being a mage yesterday is mindless AOE Cure Spam? That's your stance on it?

And again. I never said that!
Healing was mindless spamming, not playing a mage!

I'm here to tell you it was a lot more complex - in fact it was as complex as the mage player himself wanted it to be and the better he multitasked the easier fights were for everyone, but now I just kinda stand around waiting to cure because god forbid I run out of MP and we wipe.

You say it was complex, I say mages kicked the butt out of everything in this game. They did ridiculous damage and they could heal non stop or did you see a melee class soloing NM's?
Mages were way to powerful. This is the truth "bro".
