Not saying AST doesn't need tweaks because I agree it does. However, at lvl 50 I didn't have problems with MP, maybe it was the party setups? Not killing mobs fast enough? I do however agree that Gravity isn't as good as WHM's holy... I manage to use it sometimes, when I see the tank not taking a lot of damage, but I'm always nervous to switch to Cleric's when Essential Dignity is down. On WHM I do have more space to breath.

I'm at lvl 54 currently and running Sohm Al, I really haven't had much trouble, even with stupid tanks running to pull as soon as we enter, without protect. The only time I've ran out of MP was when one of the DPS died on the last boss and I had to raise him, then the other DPS died. I had to raise the SMN twice! lol then he died again, for the 3rd time. At this point I had no more MP to spare for another raise, I cured myself and the tank with 10ish% left on the boss and I have no idea how the hell I did that sitting at less than 1,000 MP. lol I spammed cards on him, Balance, Bole, whatever useful came up. used Aspected Benefic on him and myself and tried to stay alive that way, i didnt have enough remaining mp for Benefic spams.

Think I managed to use LA twice during that fight. What I've been doing now is use it earlier than I would SoS on WHM. Seems to be working for me. I think there's a reason we got LA at lvl 8, right? To use it more often maybe?... I hope. ._.; Still grasping the job.
