I don't believe Perfect Warrior drains his Mana or affects any type of passive mana recovery abilities not connected to his Jobs. He may have still been slowly recovering mana as his Race is able to use at least some spells independent of actual Job Classes. He would definitely still have any abilities still tied to that, including mana recovery. His Race spells probably got blocked by him putting on the Armor, nothing more than that.

He also never actually lost any of his abilities such as 'The Goal of All Life is Death'... he did lose access to them but did not lose the abilities themselves. i.e. If he had a status screen to look at they would still be on the list, they would just be greyed out and unusable. The ability continued to count down for recast, which is what makes me believe this. -Basing this on modern MMO standards, which normally aren't very forgiving concerning recast timers since they can be exploited, a change such as Perfect Warrior would normally freeze or max out the timer.

As for why changes in weapons make sense... tactically it does make sense. After a minute or so anyone that actually knows how to fight, like Shalltear, would get used to how thier opponent moves and attacks with a specific weapon. It's also interesting to note that the selection of weapons Ainz chose were all types that 'Valkyries' were not traditionally known to use until the Great Axe.
