Its irrelevant because the math is off. It took alot less than 15 minutes.

I was running out of MP before the change on all ShB boss content while using LD on cooldown from 7500-8500MP. Without a verRaise in the mix. <---- This is why it was fixed.

With the change I end fights on the same bosses with 1800-3800MP left on the same bosses. Without using LD. This allows me to to use the occasional verRaise, and definitely helps in some of the Raid content. Sorry but I have no idea what you're doing to conserve mana. Unless you're rotating through unenchanted melee combos for small amounts of damage. I guess that was an option if you wish to see NIN levels of DPS. But its irrelevant now, SE made the change and its going to stay at this point.
