10k MP cap..I hate it!!

[Nighthawky2010]

I know SE had their reasons for making MP capping off at 10k, whether it was valid or not, dont know but I hate it.

I main RDM & before the expansion, I think my MP was 15k+

When it came to raids or dungeon runs, I would hit Lucid dreaming at the beginning of a fight & never about it anymore, if my MP fell below 10k, it was a miracle.

But this 10K MP cap is garbage me. Doing some of the ShB dungeons & now some of the raids, I would happen to look at my MP & its 4k & then I have to hit lucid dreaming again.

I would have love to seen what my MPwould have look like @ level 80 without the 10k cap.

Just wanted to voice my opinion!

You should know that it is not 10k. It is 100.00%. The last 2 0's are smaller like the cents on a check, if you remember writing any of those.

Only on the Party List.

On the personal HP/MP bar, where the HP is represented by a green bar and MP is represented by a purple bar, the numbers in "10000" are all the exact same size.

Only in the party list as a style choice. The actual amount of mana we have now is 10,000.

That said, this lower cap isn't what is causing RDM to run out of mana since MP costs before the expansion would go up with level and be roughly equivalent to a percentage of max MP as a result. All this change to a cap of 10,000 mana did was make the numbers fixed.

As for Red Mages running out of MP, this is definitely a thing now since the MP costs per cast relative to max MP are now slightly higher, but the fix is simply a matter of using Lucid Dreaming on cooldown. I also noticed that Summoner has no such issues at all and can completely ignore Lucid Dreaming for the most part. I'm of the opinion that this was done purposely by SE as a way to balance or equalize raise use. I.e. RDM can chain several raises back to back, but will quickly run out of mana, whereas a Summoner will have more mana available for raising but cannot spam them back to back.

You're... complaining about having to use the MP cooldown? And, you know, keep in mind manashift is not a thing anymore.

I mean I kind of understand it can be satisfying to have a large MP pool, but, well, SE thought it would be better to level out MP costs and the MP pool. If you really don't want to use lucid, you can go ham on melding piety.

Doesn't piety only work for healers? Or am I mistaken?

Still I don't think this is a problem, unless you're verraising a lot or dying it doesn't seem like mp is an issue once you get used to hitting lucid.

So people actually have to start paying attention?
Oh the humanity!

Dont rdm burn mp really fast in general now?

Also I think the mp is in percents, not sure tho.

RDM is a bit of a MP hog now but it’s totally manageable by using lucid. I don’t get the gripe here. It’s one button.

It does take a bit of getting used to, but once you do yeah it's easy.
