MP problems

[Luso]

• 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.

Yea ir does get better once you get shroud and at higher levels. My first Brayflox run was a nightmare as well thanks to melee dps who can't stop hugging the poison cloud on the last boss. Our mana pool is quite dependent on people not standing in crap it seems.

I ran into MP problems my first time through past 30... I moved servers to a less crowded one and started over, this time I am putting all my bonus points into Piety for extra MP. I've still run out in a few very long FATE fights but it's better. I find gear boosts both int and mind fairly well on it's own, but piety not so much.

Got WHM to 33; so far cure spamming until freecure procs for free cure ii's gives serious MP longevity.

In brayflox, abuse esuna. That gets rid of poisons which = more cures later, as well as the odd magic vurnerability debuff.

I don't think putting attribute points into piety is the way to go...
