SMN mp needs sorting out

I am just trying to provide alternative solutions to the problem. Whether or not I have participated in Final Coil is irrelevant.

Except your alternate solution is to cut back on DPS. When groups are clearing as the boss enrages, that's simply not an option.

Wouldn't a small cutback on dps for the sake of better sustainability result in better overall dps? Doing slightly less damage for the sake of never having any complete downtime.

If you absolutely must take a SMN? Maybe. Know what would be even better for DPS? Taking a BLM.

As Virdinia said, you could do that, but why when you can take a BLM which has 100% sustainability with zero downtimes to refresh mana?

Whilst pushing progression in FCoB DPS checks are that tight that every single point of DPS from the party matters until you start to over gear it and still it is pretty tight. That small cutback from SMN can make or break a clear.
