MP pool and death

[Nixxe]

RDM mp economy is terrible. In a perfect run where nothing bad happens you'll get by just fine of course--but at that point why didn't you bring a BLM?

Delete. Verraise. Casters don't need to be able to raise. It's not a dps job or utility and things like this are imo a good reason why having raise is stupidly shackling. Summoner and Red Mage have this weird unique thing, not among casters but among all DPS where if they die, they're on the off-foot for the rest of the fight as far as resources are concerned. Both run serious risk of OOMing just from their basic rotation after death.

It's a silly phenomenon brought about by their need to balance the two for having the ability to raise.

RDM only has mana issues after being ressed until Lucid Dreaming comes back up. It's certainly not the rest of the fight, nor is such an inconvenience worth losing Verraise to resolve, as it's easy enough to just not die the overwhelming majority of the time.
