The combination of the nerf to thin air, loosing lilies on death and high mana costs really hamper whm's ability to function well in any situation where high pressure is put on their mp supply. I think the solution to this is very simple, lower the white mage's mana costs to be in line with astro, buff its base mp regen and maybe make thin air apply to the next two spells instead of one or something similar. I think this would go a long way to easing whm's mp problem.

I don't agree with everything, especially on MP economy.

While Thin air is definitely not ideal for DPS anymore, WHM is now the premium raise healer: Swiftcast + Thin air + Raise is just unbeatable. No other healer can raise at no cost.
And unless your party really messes up, you probably will always have a thin air with your Raise. It's really good.

With Thin air on raise + Lucid, assize, asylum on cooldown and only healing with Afflatus skills, you should not run out of MP, even if you spend your time nuking.

And for post death recovery, Benediction is still completely OP and I have not seen a single time in any of the 2 new Extreme primals where I would need to use benediction on a tank.
