AST's MP Problems

[Sylvain]

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.

No AST is not spending more mp on dps because the recast is still 2.5s. Like when you do Aspected Benefic, it's Instant yet you need to wait 2.5s after using to before you can cast another spell.

A 1.5 second cast time spam move is always going to have more total casts than a 2.5 second cast. You can keep casting during mechanics on a 1.5 that you couldn't on a 2.5. You absolutely spend more mana on your basic offensive spell on AST compared to the other healers.
