Soul burn can always be a possibility of why SP is gone (someone else mentioned that in the other thread.) Asura Strike makes SP 0 regardless of how big the SP pool is. Some casters like wizards or priests are so readily occupied with constant usage of skills that their SP regeneration simply does not suffice all the time.
Fish does have its use in restoring SP in war~
Yes, and that's why they should go. As far as I know Ygg Berries and such are not used during WoE, correct? That's because massive restoration items destroy the balance of some skills. The reason skills drain a lot of SP, or all of it, is part of a balancing act Gravity tries to maintain. Fish destroy this balance. I mean, sure everyone CAN get them, but it's just not fun to watch most people have essentially limitless SP (I know their fish eventually run out and they have to grab more, but it's closer to limitless than most Gravity server players would imagine). It also makes Professors not as useful. Soul Burn and Soul Exchange become obsolete and almost unnecessary when you consider that people could be carrying even just a few Doris or Nemos.
My basic stance is that fish are a nice feature and make PvM easier and sometimes more enjoyable - but in PvP and WoE they just seem to unbalance things. There's a reason Asura drains all your SP and disables natural SP recovery for 5 minutes - it's not because it was meant to be spammable (because even with Ygg Berries, etc. it would cost a lot of money to use them to be able to spam Asura - with fish you can actually spam full SP recovery items AND make a profit if you sell your other fish).
