An argument for removing MP from the game

[Shurrikhan]

I'd rather just have non-casters have a resource again, instead of a random static blue bar graphic.

That being said...

So you wanna make the game boring and less challenging by removing most if not all jobs main resource. No thanks.

Mana is relevant to at most 4 jobs' gameplay at present.

Might wanna check again.

- Paladin
- Dark Knight
- Red Mage
- Summoner
- Scholar
- White Mage
- Astrologian
- Black Mage

8, nearly half the combat jobs (or 9 if you wanna include Blue Mage, which would make it half of the jobs) use MP.

• AST, WHM, SCH:

  It's less that MP is a mechanic to SCH and AST than Lucid Dreaming is one of their abilities. If you use it and are not painfully overhealing, MP is a non-mechanic. WHM at least has some, albeit mostly negligible, reason to fit MP-expensive spells into Thin Air, and thus some interaction with MP beyond simply hitting a two-minute CD once it comes off CD if not already over 85% MP or so.

• SMN, RDM:

  MP solely limits how much rezzing SMN and RDM can do. It is essentially your rez-meter and a faint further means of punishing death. It is not a core mechanic. You have a two-minute CD and no further interactions with MP as a concept in any way.

• This leaves PLD, BLM, DRK, and (tenuously) WHM. Four jobs. At most.
