true, thin air is the reason, whm almost no piety builds, exist but in that build you see how much thin air actually contibute and important in runs to whm mana management in those builds and feel how that combo of thin air + lucid actually helps you manage and conserve your mp.
right now taking thin air for granted is wrong cause the moment it will change to that version ,people will leave whm not only cause ast kit is better but because whm itself wont be easy to play and perform anymore as he is right now.
yep. in addition to the inherent mp problems, astro has a lot of strong and free ogcd heals every minute, while white mage only has two reliable ones on much longer cooldowns. (assize isnt reliable for healing), which means whm will be forced into using their gcd heals more often than ast, which btw also has less expensive gcd heals should they need to.

It's like every part of whm's kit exacerbates its problems. Not only is Ast completely overtuned, but whm is also severely undertuned as well.
