Ofc you dont need the mana, if whm can get by then obviously sch can.
Though there are plenty of times you need to use up your aetherflow charges quickly since aetherflow just came off cd and you want to use it without wasting charges, energy drain is generally the efficient way to use it . But that isn't an option in coil since energy drain will just miss most of the time.
It seems intended to me, it puts our mana use on par with a WHM (as in we both need mana song at about the same times).
It also lets you lustrate / sacred soil a lot more.
If your having mana issues it is possible you are not using physick enough, and/or your other healer isn't doing enough, and/or tank/group isn't geared enough.
the i90 gear does not have accuracy either... I don't understand why you would thank the i80 would.
We use a warrior and a paladin in my group (so tank damage is higher then a pld/pld) .. and a whm and a sch... I have 0 mana issues on coil 1-4 with never casting energy drain.
Forgot to mention.. use selene to increase group dps , instead of personal dps also.
It's annoying, either way.
Put it this way: I don't NEED to use Lustrate or Sacred Soil during certain portions of a fight. When Aetherflow comes off cooldown, I'm going to burn my charges to top-off and reset. It would be nice if they didn't miss.
Also: it's easy to say you don't have mana problems in coil when you have a bard to top you up.
