A fix for SMN MP problems

[StouterTaru]

Then dump some piety on the vit accessory, or put it on relic weapon, or use melded pants/belt/whatever piece you don't like and a 2nd vit/pie accessory. 70 Piety will get you an extra 500+ max MP, and 300+MP/minute. That's enough to stretch your MP from 4-5 minutes to 8-10 minutes.

SCH gets Energy Drain as well, and this would break them entirely. Buffing SMN without changing SCH is extremely hard - for example, they get the pet SS buff as well, so any changes to it would need to take SCH into account as well. (Personally I don't think a few seconds of refresh or whatever would break them, but it still needs to be considered.)

I doubt a direct buff to energy drain's mp return would effect sch much at all. right now no sch would use it in raid content to get back a few mp, cause what most ppl would say anyway 'sch has no real mp issues'. they are mostly limited by aetherflow usage.

I posed this in another thread at some point(not like there aren't 4578 SMN threads) but one thing I thought of was to maybe give fester a chance to proc a free energy drain. This would leave SCH unchanged, and if given a high enough chance(I was thinking maybe as high as 50%) would both help a bit with MP and increase DPS slightly. I think there needs to be slightly more done than just that, but it could be a start.

Separate caster gear like all other dps class, drop our spell speed stats and add piety.
Change the effect of Energy Drain from a set number to a return based on how much damage it does.
Add to Spur: 75% of Egi Damage dealt is returned to Summoner as MP.

Would dropping Ruin MP cost by 10-15 help any? It's quite low already, but isn't it your most used spell? I doubt that would have much of an effect on SCH either.

Do pets suffer from the -15% attribute loss at time of summoning from res sickness? If so, are their stats snapshotted with these lowered attributes, persisting until resummoning once res sickness wears off, or do pet's lose the debuff too overtime like their master?

I think SMN should have a trait which has a refresh affect.

I'd say 1/4 or 1/3 the strength of SoS at 3 stacks and you stack/maintain it by having Bio, Miasma, BioII active on a target, it also forces SMNs to maintain DOTs.
-Bio provides 1 stack etc maxing at 3 regardless how many are affective

Yes I know this would affect SCH as well but more MP to a class that has no MP issues is hardly game breaking

[Sanguisio]

They shouldn't as that would effectively be no different to a food buff or pot.
