Class Reforms and Action List, Pugilist perspective

I like how we're all assuming that the MP drain will be "caster level" instead of something close to the current level.

You can't help but think otherwise when they have five different moves that all say "consistently drains MP when in use" and two of them can be used on top of each other.

There's no way it'll be comparable to having 10 and 20 MP cost moves you can do every 30-45 seconds, which is the "current level".

Depends. Back when 1.18 went live we had ~400 MP (no buff, if I'm not mistaken) That was nearly 7 minutes worth of ability use. Now, we're sitting around 630 MP with no buffs or materia. 15MP/10seconds or 45MP/30seconds would continue to work out to 7 minutes of ability use, and that seems like a fair rate (about 20 MP every 30 seconds per ability). Of course, that doesn't take into account the new MP restoring WS. . .
