Thread: SMN 4.1 patch notes

I only dislike whole mana management get removed. What is the point of having mana if you can not run out from the mana? You have bar that you never look at? They did same in 2.0 and reduced ruin mana costs once you get punished spamming too much ruin 2.

RDM has pretty much 0 mp management. BLM's mp management only come down to "Can I do another Fire 4 and still Blizzard 3 after?" Why should SMN have so much mp management in comparison?

SMN will still have mp management. A reduced CD mana shift to feed your bards and miasma II spamming SCH. So it's not like SMNs will be able to forget about lucid completely.

Who knows, maybe our optimal rotation involves swapping between Garuda for Contagion and Ifrit for Radiant Shield, since Summoning MP and cast times are now reduced.

There was another thread in Reddit debating for and against this possibility, but we never know until we see numbers.
