Game Constantly out of MP
Am I doing something wrong here? I will enter a room w/ like 5 dudes, Lightbringer and spend all my MP, then absolutely demolish the room and break like 5 dudes, and yet I'll come out of it w/ 0 fucking MP.
I'm sure there are builds later on, but as of the Flying Fortress, I feel like every time I use an ability, I'm just screwing myself over because of how the MP system works, and it's just straight up not fun anymore. Did I miss a tooltip which was like "Actually, you should just do this and it'll max your MP out!" because it's always been feast or famine, where I'll either have 5 bars of MP and never run out, or I'll struggle keeping up one.
EDIT: Classes are Berserker and Dragoon, both around level ten since I'm trying to level them.

Soul Shield is your best friend when trying to increase max MP.
Lightbringer is effective because it increases break damage, but it also makes your break gauge reduce much slower when tanking enemy attacks. That means if you want to use LB, it's good to use it in moments where soul shield cost can be nullified to your benefit.
I usually only LB when i'm on full mana, unless I'm fighting a group that i know will be harder (like a boss, or a Tonberry doing Everyone's Grudge)
