So their outgoing mp is a little wonky and yes this means not using lilies and sitting on TA will punish your mp economy heavily. Lets average it 3.5 free casts a minute at the cheapest cost so 1400 not spent. (negative 234 with pom)

Sch 4k+3500+2000. (negative 100mp)

Sge 4k+3500+1500+333 if you use rizomata on cd. For some reason their dot is 600 and pneuma also costs 600 on a 2m cd. (negative 767mp)

Heaven help them (both barrier healers) if they run out of stacks and actually need to cast a gcd heal since there isn't a way to mitigate that lost cost like thin air would, and raises will be even worse. Plus they're forced to dump mp on something since no gcd is ever free. I think you're vastly undervaluing casting higher cost abilities for free.

It seems like they all run on the negative in some way shape or form so I don't see this as a whm only problem, its a role problem. Guess its about time to invest in piety and avoid spellspeed like the plague.
