There's a different post pointing out where you were wrong about that;
Your list is so incomplete it almost screams SCH bias.
- What about WHM's Thin Air? That's 0 MP cost for 12 seconds. If you had to do PoM + Medica I spam you save about 10k MP. And if you had to, you could spam 6 Cure III to save nearly 14k MP.
- AST has Lightspeed which reduces MP cost by 25% for 10 seconds while reducing cast times by 2.5 seconds. If you had to spam 4 Helios then you saved 1440 MP.
- AST can also draw Ewer, which is a base 50 potency refresh for 5 ticks. Extending or Enhancing it can increase this MP regen further.
- With the AST stuff in mind, they can do Extended Ewer + LD + Lightspeed + CO if MP issues are that severe.
Those 3-6 energy Drains used at the start of a pull are usually used for DPS, not MP, so they shouldn't be counted as so unless you can somehow spend enough MP in the first 60 seconds to get the full MP benefit of SIX Energy Drains. Spoiler Alert! Most likely not.
Others have commented on the relative MP cost of an AF stack when not used for Energy Drain so I won't go into that.
EDIT #1: Also forgot that AST has a cheaper toolkit as a whole compared to WHM and SCH, indirectly giving them better MP regen.
when do you ever medica spam. i really can only think of the most heal intensive savage fights and probably nidhogg ex
lightspeed which is rarely ever used in a decent farm party because it reduces dps
ewer which is usually burned to give aoe rr effect
yes the other ones are Potentially better, but sch is more consistent
