Plus you only need to use it when it makes a difference to the number of hits it takes to kill a monster, so you aren't even gonna be using it that much. If you're funded, then it's no problem at all.
I've got level 9 meditate, and I never used it at all, it ran out all the time. And even with it maxed, you'd have to cast it 18 times an hour.
Slow has got to be more useful than meditate now that you can get potions that do what meditate does anyway. Especially when you combine it with seal in 3rd job. If I train with anyone at all its with a crossbowman, so having slow would be a much greater advantage to my party training than having meditate, and since I never train with other mages I don't have to worry about their meditate cancelling out my pot.
I've not decided whether I want to max slow and only get half of mp eater, or the other way round, but I'm certainly not gonna put any more points into meditate.
