AST's weakness in end game

[Velox]

Can't agree with this at all. With the addition of Assize, MP is so much easier to manage on WHMs now. The only real way to get OOM is if you're not using Shroud/Assize when it's available or if you're overhealing like crazy. I thought MP management was a huge factor in learning WHM back in 2.x, and that's now relatable to AST only. Ewer is a very weak MP regen, and usually not even worth using unless you're in a very dire situation.

You're also forgetting that, AST MP costs are lower for spells of the same potency as WHM. That means you spend less MP during a boss fight as a AST than a WHM, meaning their MP management is very much on-par with each other
