I'm overall happy with the changes. MP management is rather shallow anyway.

Some may argue that it's something to manage or keeps AST in check.

Idk that doesn't seem right to me. It's arbitrary because the other healers do not suffer from the drawbacks.

It's either you meld piety or don't. Simple and if you're an omnihealer, it's just frustrating to have to remeld.

Also both WHM and SCH still have 2 ways of MP recovery, AST didn't and now they do.

As someone who plays on controller, I might even pick up AST again since Sleeve Draw was revamped.
