    AST: Gets 8% MP back on Draw (30s CD)
    WHM: Gets 8% MP back on Fluid Aura (Also is a 30s CD)
    SCH: Give them Aetherflow at lvl 30 or sooner

    Considering how good WHM's MP economy is with Assize, Lucid Dreaming, and Thin Air, I rather they just make Fluid Aura be a weaker version of Assize and then upgrade into Assize.

    Possible, but they don't get those until much later. Low level mana regen sucks pretty bad if you're always casting like you should be.

    It really is insane how much easier it is on AST if you're drawing every 30s and getting back 16% mana per minute essentially for playing your job right.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    If you're struggling to manage mana at level 15 with only cure at your disposal (because that's when Conjurers get Fluid Aura), you may be running into bigger gameplay issues that isn't related to MP. Try checking to see if you're using lucid dreaming on cooldown and to see if the WHM gear / tank gear is good. Level 30-32 Brayfox is notorious for being more difficult for WHM in leveling gear because they don't have access to regen, but that's the only instance where they have to rely on freecure procs to help manage mana. After that, Regen is enough to alleviate any issues with WHM's MP from level 35-44 provided they use lucid dreaming on cooldown. Holy removes a lot of healing during pulls because it stops tanks from taking damage entirely for a couple of seconds from lv 45 onwards, and Medica II fixes the need to AoE heal spam at level 50 - 54 provided you let the Heal over Time do their job.
