What is Aran's MP usage per minute?

So you're already hitting damage cap on whatever mobs/bosses you kill? If you have that kind of funding, why bother saving MP pots? Why not just use a pet with autoMP?

I don't mean to be belligerent; I really just don't see the motivation.

I have no kind of funding, but if these nebulites are a relatively farmable drop I might be able to move up just a little. Also even though I might never Empress it still has a potion cooldown.
