MP problems

[Rydiah]

My WHM is still running Brayflox. One thing I've noticed about that dungeon (and all dungeons really) is that it really depends on the rest of the party. I had a tank that had such bad gear I almost had to spam Cure 2 on him constantly because every hit took that much MP. With a tank that can't hold hate on all mobs just burns your mp. Same thing with party members that don't get out of AoE's, it starts to get really overwhelming and you run out of MP fast.

One thing I've tried to do was glance at my buffs after every cure so I catch all the Freecures. I don't think they last very long and I tend to miss them when things are chaotic. Don't worry, it gets a little easier with Regen and I think it'll get much better when we get Shroud, don't give up!

• Try keeping your gear up to your level. (check GC often for gear upgrades)
  Sometimes the tank can be under-geared for dungeons and if you keep your gear roughly around the same level as the content you are attempting it will help lots. (I've had personal experience healing a tank in brayflux who was just getting his hp chunked.)

• Make sure the dps is not taking any unnecessary damage. (dodging the red circles) Some of the biggest drains to early mp pools can be damage that party members can avoid.

• Esuna is your best friend especially in Brayflux.

• Lastly,try to avoid AoE curing at this point unless it is an emergency. The fastest way to burn your mp is medica. Use your cure. Free cure eventually pops.

Cure is a very strong spell. It should cover the majority of dungeon healing. Add Esuna and Stoneskin and your mp pool should last quite a while.

As quite a few people have said already, a lot of your MP problems can be alleviated by having your party members play properly. For example, I just ran The Stone Vigil last night through the Duty Finder, and everyone there was new to it and didn't know a single thing (granted I know the dungeon itself isn't exactly hard, but to most people in the Duty Finder it would be lol).

The best thing about this group though, was that they knew how to play. DPS used CC, tank was great at holding threat, and everyone avoided the bad stuff on the ground. Usually only needed regen and a few cures each pull. Only death was my own on the last boss due to bad luck. After running from all the red circles on the ground, I ended up on the side he cast his breath on, only way out was through the circles that slow/damage you, thus I died. Best part though, the two BLM's we had started healing in between DPS'ing, all the way to victory. Best Duty Finder group EVER.

It gets really easy with shroud. Unless its an aoe heavy fight.. you shouldn't have mp problems at 50.

Agreed on shroud however PuGing will tap mana super fast if people are play poorly which happens quite often in my experience. If healer has decent gear, then it's easier to heal 'bad' maybe; I don't know yet since my gear sucks atm.
