Where are people getting these MP problems from? I'm thoroughly curious because I've seen a lot of people complaining about AST MP yet here I am that just recently hit 80 and finished MSQ with little issue.

Lucid Dreaming is available every minute now and Lightspeed lasts longer (and Essential Dignity doesn't need to crit anymore to reduce Lightspeed's cooldown.) With 2 charges Lightspeed is also up fairly quickly. Piety also helps with MP regen.

I agree with all the other problems AST has (boring cards, broken Play button, underwhelming new spells with long cooldowns) but I just don't see the MP issue people are having.
