Also the direction they go with mp fix is rather stupid as well.

Malefic IV: 1.5s cast time with 400 MP
Glare: 2.5s cast time with 400 MP
Broil III: 2.5s cast time with 400 MP

AST is able to dps more frequently than the other two, which in turn spends more mp. This is so obvious, yet the mp saving/restoration tools are given to WHM and SCH. It really makes you wonder if the dev in charge is blind or not.
