What is Aran's MP usage per minute?

I don't think it is. I find that Aran sucks up MP way too fast for the amount that he gets. I burn through mana pots quite fast on Aran.

Let me rephrase, this is a very strange method for optimizing MP usage. I obviously haven't done the math, but it would seem that sacrificing str for mp recovery would be counterproductive to conserving MP.

I'm also at a bit of a loss about why reducing MP pot usage would be a priority. MP potions aren't that expensive.
