I know not how the new changes affects party play because I don't often join them but soloing has taken a strong hit. I find myself running out of MP and getting KO'd more often than I was before the changes were implemented. The problem is only amplified by the durability loss to gear.

I don't know what the dev team is planning but if there is a plan to keep the current MP costs then something needs to be done to ease soloing.

I purpose a much faster MP and HP regain while solo so compensate for the greater consumption of MP.
