lately i have been experimenting solo some NM by kiting them around on blu/nin, using regurgitaion and blastbomb for bind and maginit cloud for gravity, and disservment DOT of 18/tick but my problem is i run out of mp before being able to really finish most of the time, just seems good old rdm/nin is better for kiting/dot mobs any thoughts?

That JP blu who solo's fenrir and SC carries a couple vile elixer +1's with him, so if he cant rest but is running low they pretty much restore him, though he's a tarutaru so he lasts a fair bit longer than most. and juice, between them he rarely needs to rest.

It helps. Any long-duration solo where I'm not going to be able to rest for at least one tic reasonably frequently, I bring yag drinks and some Vile +1s to be safe.

Keep in mind that casting more spells in the same timeframe eats at your MP pool. It may be more effective to reduce the number of spells you're using to extend your MP pool.

If it's something you can out-run you shouldn't have an issue, just use less spells and keep running while your MP refreshes (should have 2mp refresh as blu, 3 in WotG and ToAU areas). If it's something you CAN'T out-run, well that's a different story altogether. You'll need to attempt to rest during binds, use no spells that aren't entirely critical, don't recast disseverement until poison has worn off, etc. And yes, bring some yag drinks and vile +1's just in case.

Yes frost effect stacks with poison. It however is rediculously inefficient. Cost a decent amount of mp takes awhile to cast last only 30 sec no initial dmg etc
