MP Conservation - Now, this is something that a ***LOT*** of clerics at all levels fail to realize, but the biggest factor in conserving and regaining your mana is speed and sitting. The faster you can use a normal heal, the faster you can resume sitting.

When you sit, you regain mana at approximately 500% FFXIV Gold the rate you do when standing. Look at your MP bar sometime sitting and then standing and compare for yourselves.

I regain enough mana in one single 'tick' of the bars sitting to pay for a lower level heals of mine. This is also something most people don't know: your MP regeneration is counted as "sitting" the *instant* you press sit.

Many people think "oh, it takes so long to sit all the way down and stand up". In fact, that's just something your client does, though. Your MP is regenerating at 500% the second you press 'sit'. I've tested it extensively.

Many people also think "Oh, I can't sit because people are still fighting". This is also a mistake for one reason: you don't need to wait to sit back up.

The only real delay is that you have to wait for yourself to sit *down*, but that's a very, very short delay.
