    You're not reading the numbers right. The cost of the spell is 707 MP. That's nearly as much as Cure 2 which is double the potency. It is an extremely expensive, cost-inefficient heal. In organized PVP, Astro was fine. It has its strengths and weaknesses, just as the other healers. Unfortunately, one of its strengths is being invincible to bad players. I just hope that once the Feast comes out they receive more feedback and can hopefully alleviate this change for more balanced Ranked play.

    Mp cost was hardly an issue I think. I've spammed that spell for days on end it feels like and every once in a while it reminds me that I forgot to use LA and then I just mana draw. The numbers that really matter are how much it heals for.

    Must be frontlines, where the healing is pretty low and there's tons of downtime to regen your MP. The Feast will be similar to the Wolves Den, where damage is extremely high and there is no downtime. Sometimes it can be like healing through Ahk-Morns for 10-15 seconds straight, every 1 minute or so. Even with proper use of CDs, MP can run dry quickly as AST.

    Sorry, my experience with wolve's den is matches rarely ever last longer than around 5 mins, but I see ast winning the 14 min+ matches too, so I can't say I'm suddenly worried about mp. And presumably, with this change, you'll want to use the move even less now
