I'm against passive MP regen that you just put up on CD. That you just keep up 100% of the time irregardless of its MP regen effect.

Since, unlike those 3 main jobs that have MP regen mechanics as part of their normal rotation (PLD, DRK, BLM) RDM doesn't have the same level of MP expenditure and as a result, focus on leveraging MP gain/usage.

This kind of suggestion is akin to suggesting "RDM's rotation skills should cost no MP" which is a step backwards in my opinion. I think active MP management should be more of a thing in the game, especially heading into ShB where TP is being removed (So maybe physical classes might also need resource management with no more infinite TP)

Now, because of RDM's focus on Mana management, I don't necessarily require something like with PLD/DRK/BLM where they have to focus around the MP generator, but something a little more thought provoking than "You get infinite MP (Outside having to Raise a bunch... But then you get Lucid to aid with that)"
