AST's weakness in end game

[Risvertasashi]

You don't even need Ewers if tou time LA with CO because AST uses less MP than a WHM does. People just look to the tooltips and say "WHM has two MP buttons, AST has one. Therefore, WHM has better MP management than AST". WHM still starves more than AST, and I've played both; the difference is that you see numbers flashing as WHM, while AST is more passive about it.

Having raided on both, I have to flat out disagree.

It is more complex than the number of MP restore buttons though.
