Summoner and MP

[Judge_Xero]

Other things to note
- SMN over uses about 1300 MP doing a max damage rotation
- This amount can be reduced to 900 with a minimal loss in DPS < 10 DPS (better timings to avoid Ruin II)
- 100% Energy Drain usage vs 100% Fester usage is only 25 DPS vs 50 DPS (25 DPS loss @ i110)

Just making an update to this post I made. SMN can burn a lot more than 1300 MP/min doing a max damage rotation, but for very little gain.

Another point, while SMN can reduce their MP consumption to ~900/min (Passive Regen @ 2% - MP used) I didn't include the MP you get back from Aetherflow, so that could be confusing.

So @ 600 MP/Aetherflow you are only 300MP/min usage doing a near max rotation -/+ 10 DPS - That will pace you for a solid 10 minute fight using only Festers to burn your Aetherflow. For the majority of long fights, you also have a great opportunity to multi-dot that more than makes up for the loss in DPS to not do your optimal single target rotation.

Oh and throw in the random rez for your comrades and you really start to feel it.

Having to raise multiple times does suck. 800 MP (><) That's where you end up burning your 3 AF on Energy Drain. Luckily in longs fights it doesn't account for a huge loss in damage. 30 Stacks -> 3 Raises -> 9 Energy Drains

21 @ 300 Potency -> 9 @ 150 Potency - 16 DPS loss -> Hopefully you've been Auto Attacking where possible.
