I think it had/has less to do with the potency, and more to do with the fact that AST has the least potent MP regen tools.

AST just has Luminferous Aether, and Ewer... But you may never actually draw ewer when you're in need of it.

SCH has Aetherflow (20% of MP), and Energy Drain.

WHM has Assize (10% of MP on use) and Shroud of Saints (Same cooldown and duration as AST's LA, but higher potency) for MP over time. They also receive traits that make certain spells entirely free to cast.

If they raised the MP cost of AST spells by any significant amount, I think it'd just crumble and die in longer fights. I don't see anything resembling nerfs coming AST's way. Even with the buffs, an AST replacing a WHM in an Alex static is a little risky. An AST replacing a SCH... Still unlikely. They're in an okay place. They get the job done. I don't think ASTs need to be worried.
