Also, don't run long distances in active mode, switch into passive mode between battles, the small regen helps. I usually use Profundity with my Dart to generate the extra TP, and I try to use it when a mob is around 20-25% so the TP attack will kill it and cool down will be back up by the time I engage the next mob.
Very nice post with some good tips!
I had never thought to use Rampart as a Conjurer, but will definitely try it tonight. ^^

I've gotten low a few times, but haven't run out of MP yet.
I think that despite the initial shock, players are adapting quickly and finding tactics that work under the changes.


The biggest remaining issue is really about:
What role you are expected (forced?) to play when in a party -- and does this fit with what you want to do as a mage?

Resolving this is case-by-case and really comes down to inter-player communication and tact.
