Mage rant.

Mana burn is not entirely useless. During wars, I've been pummeled with mages mana burning me and purging my buffs that have screwed me up. DD axe fighters use a LOT of SP and we eat SP stones like candy. Of course, a smart one will use an SP pot but not all of us tote those around. Stones do have a CD time... and a mage that purges a cleric's pt buff will do quite a bit of damage. I was in a war where my cleric's mdef pt buff was purged and we were up against a couple of strong capped mages. Yeah, it hurt... best part was that nobody in our pt knew he had been purged of that buff so we were all hurting harder and wondering why.

That being said, it's not anywhere near as spammable as those flame thingies in DT make it out to be...

Mages can purge party buffs?! Does it only work if you purge the cleric (source of buff)? And when purged, does it take away EVERYONE'S mdef buff in the party?

Because I've never done that before and never thought about doing it since I didn't know you could..

Edit: now that I think about it, that's pretty logical. Not sure why I never thought about it like that before. Gewdgewd... >=D
