Making magic guard passive

hey guys this is my first mage class that i actually put time into and ive been curious to see if ive been the only one thinking on how magic guard should be made passive instead of having to activate it all the time what do you guys think? should it be made passive or do you feel its more of a challenge with it being an active skill?

It would be nice to have it tele mastery and be un-dispelable like dark aura(at least that's what I've heard). There are way too many times I can't count for dying because of dispel and the reason wasn't because I wasn't careful either. It shouldn't be passive because there are priests who like to train without it in order to save money. Also, just because there aren't many mages that get to boss doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the ones that do. I certainly like to boss from time to time and it's pretty difficult getting attacks in when you're constantly recasting mg and watching your hp/mp at the same time.

Why? MP Eater makes up for everything.

Should be able to toggle it on/off, like teleport mastery

Come on, the only valid arguments I've heard in support of making MG passive involve bosses that probably 85% of maplers never face. Just learn how to control your character in bossing situations and you should be fine. ie: Always watch your buffs, be ready to recast MG the second you're dispelled, and learn to watch for the animations monsters make when they dispel. If you need practice then fight Pap or train against Sharks for a while
