They're especially high considering they just nerfed Siphon MP/Siphon MP II (single target only now) and they're not giving Mages bigger MP pools.....

And yes I know it's balancing, and more changes will probably come etc etc, but on first reading let's just say I was not a happy bunny about 95% of the changes to the Mage classes

Just my personal opinion. I hope over time I'm proved wrong ^^
