Idunno, but personally I've only ran out of MP as a DRK when I actually use MP heavy skills over and over.

<rant>Yeah...well in a normal 4 man dungeon i normally won't have any mp nor anywhere close to it, but in an 8 man party especially with lots of buffs and debuffs going on, mp drains really quick to the point that it's not even funny. With the mp bug in place I feel I am heavily restricted as a DRK, I can't pop DA+Dark Dance as freely, I can't use DA+Dark Mind as freely either, let alone DA+Souleater. Unless I go out of defensive stance (which is btw suicide in a raid most of the time) to use blood weapon to keep up with it. Also don't forget whenever stoneskin and galvanize wears off, it also take off a chunk of you mp cause it's also a tick! </rant>

It just gets irritating watching my mp get vaporized so much quicker than it's supposed to be.(Heck I have less issue managing my mp when fighting a dummy without blood price on than fighting a raid boss with blood price on due to this bug.)

And I have done both MT and OT plenty of times, and often I tend to spend my MP deliberatly because I feel I got too much of it stored and could do some extra minor damage with it, just because.

Never said I don't spend enouth of it, just saying that I havn't had any problems, or rather noticed a MP drain bug which hurts my usage/rotation.
I have read a few people posting that the Dark Art bug where it only effected 1 enemy instead of several happened from person to person, so maybe this is the same? Idunno, just sharing my story.

Hmm, so basicly I have to put myself in "I'm out of MP" situations before it's considered that I spend it as used to? Well then it might not be a bug, maybe you spend to much by your own?
