I can do whatever I want while waiting. I can /cheerjump. I can cast Thunder spells. I can consume Polyglot stacks. I can stand around twiddling my thumbs and literally doing nothing. It doesn't matter, as long as I spend enough time.

Not every piece of content and the conditions under which it is done requires optimal DPS. And for the content and conditions that do require optimal DPS, part of the fun is figuring that out and getting good at it.
Okay so we're talking about optimal play and flexibility. If you can recover mp with xenoglossy and have a charge, you have to use it to be optimal. There's nothing flat out wrong about that. It's the same thing with mp regen being tick based, if you had charges you had to use them.

The people having a knee-jerk reaction to this change don't realize that it is actually more flexibility because you have the freedom to pool charges for buff window instead of spending them while waiting for mana ticks. We're talking about optimal play and flexibility, not casual play.
