My main concerns are with MP management. Let's start with the obvious, they've nerfed the heck out of MP recovery skills. Lucid Dreaming now reduced to 50 potency (almost half), and they tried to make up for this by halving the recast. Unfortunately, doubling the time it takes to get comparatively the same amount of MP is not a good thing. Assize is now reduced to giving a flat 500mp. That's basically a single Cure I spell. Assize previously was 10%, and with piety increasing Max MP this could be easily enough for a Cure II or more. There's no refresh on Bard anymore, there's no Ewer from Astrologian, there's no Mana Shift from mages. If we're out of MP, we're out of luck.

Piety now increases MP regeneration, but only time will tell if it's enough to make up for the loss of MP regen from other sources. If we're trying to DPS and heal at the same time, we may find ourselves running out of MP very quickly. I have a creeping feeling that this was intentional, to force us to heal more by limiting our MP resources so we have to divide it between DPS and healing more carefully. I guess we'll find out when it goes live.
