Thread: Request: Ability to re-assign class levels after 1.20

Native mp regen
Ethers
THM Abl. 5 (aka the new spirit song)
BLM Abl. 1 (aka convert)
THM Mag. 2 (aka the new stygian spikes)

In order:

- MP pool doesn't mean much when you have no effective way to refill it
- every class has native MP regen
- every class can use ethers (and that is no more a serious solution than potions)
- THM Abl. 5 is for attack magic only
- you have no way to know that BLM will even be able to equip cross-class abilities
- Stygian Spikes does nothing for MP regeneration if you aren't being hit

But I will say this: I didn't consider simply abandoning THM for BLM. If jobs are not class locked in the abilities they can use, that's a perfectly reasonable solution for my ends.

Challenge accepted.

First, I love how point 2 and point 3 render point 1 moot. Today native regen is the single most commonly used MP regen tool used to survive Ifrit.

Second, of the two mp regen abilities which conjurers get:

* Temporarily halves enmity and gradually restores MP.
* Gradually stores MP while reducing HP. Effect fades and stored MP is obtained upon reuse.

The first one is not class exclusive. The second one acts like a slow convert, so its another ability that, at least in spirit, both CNJ and THM can gain access to. Of course the BLM version is much faster.

As a side note, it is interesting to see that neither class gets a massive mp boost similar to Exaltation anymore. Perhaps they were expecting us to try and be a little more resourceful, going forward.
