    Shadowbringers RDM - Constantly out of MP?

    So I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or am I somehow playing RDM wrong? Ever since the new patch + removal of the TP bar and playing the same as I did prior, everything results in my MP being drained to the point I'll be completely out before dungeon bosses are killed, and sometimes trash pulls if the tank is going too fast.

    Am I doing something wrong or do I need to compensate with gear/materia stuff now? Like honestly it's kind of killing RDM for me since my utility of being able to resurrect is kind of nuked given the MP cost and there are parts were I'm literally waiting for MP to regenerate so I can just get out the next step of my combo so I'm just standing there doing nothing.

    So am I doing something wrong? Thoughts? Has Square said anything I missed?

    You shouldn't have any mana issues if you use lucid dreaming on cooldown.

    Dreaming is now reduced potency but on a 60s timer. Just use it more frequently.

    Oh right. Thank you so much! I don't know why I didn't realise this earlier.

    What others have said. Lucid Dreaming was something that helped before. Now it's an absolutely essential spell. Use it after your very first Scorch and from there use it every time it's on CD. Your mana issues will no longer exist.

    Also try to drop as much SpS as possible. Math indicates that at minimum SpS, RDM only nets 200 MP per minute. Any extra SpS and you're suddenly hemorrhaging MP left and right.
