Look at our spell costs though. We got the Ast treatment. EVERYTHING is dirt cheap! Our most mana consuming spells are verflare/verholy at a whopping 5% of our max mp. VerThunder/VerAero are about 3% at 480 mp (same with scatter.) Jolt/Verfire/VerStone/impact are about 2% at 300... All on top of a break with melee gcds to allow natural mp regen. We have so much mana that it takes us dying or 4 teammates dying for us to have any mana issues. I use lucid dream for antiaggro than directly because I'm mana starving. xD Just my line of thought on it all.
