This ability, from black mage, BLM Abl. 1 Switches current HP and MP values
will help with this long fight and make you white mage hate you at the same time.

Edit: Effective Mana management is going to be the defining mark of a good THM player. At least, that is what I believe.
While I agree with you, it remains that they need to give us some love on magic combos.

1.1k MP for the Thunder chain, where as on my LNC I never seem to run out of TP. Invigorate, coupled with auto-attacks only leaves out of TP for about 10 seconds. I sit on 3000 TP waiting for Keen Flurry/Doomspike/ChaosThrust to come off cooldown.

Or fix food to give increased (noticable) MP regen or flat eat/drink = decent MP gain. (more than 80MP for an Ether +3, and with a shorter cooldown)

What do you think?
