LA is 707 per tick regardless of MP pool. I don't know Ewer off the top of my head. I get that it's a confusing mechanic, not a lot of details on how Refresh works. And I actually think Refresh should scale with max MP and piety in some way, if it's any consolation.

My probability math went down the drain, but having 2 draws with one on a 1/6 chance to roll as needed (just Ewer) and one on a 1/2 chance (Ewer, Arrow or Spear) to roll as needed out of 24 draws should be high enough to make it a guarantee or near guarantee.

You mentioned it yourself earlier, let's wait until 3.2 rolls out. Context matters. There are thousands of combinations you can make between healing needed for a fight, when the burst is needed and how much, how many globals you have to do what amount of healing. If there's a fight designed for a WHM to always pull out Divine Seal + Medica 2 and Assize with nothing for AST to compensate, of course WHM will be better. If there's only tank healing and single target damage with bursts in 90s or larger intervals, of course AST will be better.
Yeah I know, I wasn't calling for buffs. My only real point was the scaling on certain abilities, and that AST's MP management system has a bit more complexity than WHM, so I don't think the "on paper" really does it justice. I think AST is a little weaker in practice than on paper, is my point I guess.
