Fix paladin. Only Class in the entire game that cannot...

[ADVSS]

If you want an AoE move which does dps and costs MP, you have to first solve the underlying problem of making MP meaningful on PLD. That way, you make the job into a fun and engaging gameplay experience.

I agree, the only issue is, if mp management becomes a pld mechanic, well there goes the DRK=PLD jokes, if it becomes an issue of TP it becomes warrior lite. Maybe have the aoe cost tp, balance it with a cooldown like convert ---> 20% MP for 20% TP or a spell that restores TP over time?

EDIT:exactly what you suggested, sorry.
