Concerns with Astrologian in Endwalker

[Deceptus]

WHM doesn't just have the worst of a list of viable MP economies. Its MP recovery next expansion is going to be so low that it's going to bleed mana just keeping up its ABCs. Glare is the classic example, because spamming it is cheaper (MP wise) than GCD healing. It's a great hypothetical, because it represents the lowest consistent MP expenditure over time. WHM is going to run out of MP about halfway through an Ultimate fight's timeline with the Thin Air changes. That's -bad-.
.

Lets put it this way, in synced content it already is MP negative if you're ABC'ing. Lucid by itself is not enough to keep up. Assize helps, but alternating Thin Air and Lucid is what really keeps them afloat.

Especially if sh!t is hitting the fan.

Honestly I like most of the changes. Astrodyme is a nice tool that doesn't affect rDPS but just aDPS plus gives a nice mp recharge effect. I don't like the fact they took away Sleeve Draw thus having less cards overall. IDK how new AST will play out but it has become better in my eyes. We just have to wait to see it in action.
