One of the many design changes SHB brought out was the removal or reduction of mp management. Pretty much nobody complained about 10000mp being the unified max mp limit- makes it easier to do maths after all.
But there has been some low key grumbling about the different healers having to rely onshroud of saints lucid dreaming and how healing between the amazing healing kits and barely noticable damage and frequency.
As a result, mp management is almost a thing of the past for whm and sch, astros on the other hand- well they are getting changes next patch
How did we get here though?
In sb we saw whm get hit with a wrecking ball and ending up with lots of free healing which has continued to this day. In shb unless the whm has some reviving to do, they have practically infinite mp to cast
Curiously whm's don't have much in terms of mp restoration, just lots of mp neutral abilities:
Whm's have 500mp every assize plus healing and damage, 4-6 free casts of any spell or 2 free revives per thin air (3 for the skilled) and 5 free casts of cure 2 every 90 seconds where 3 of those can be exchanged for medica between lillies and tetragrammaton
Astro lost luminerferous aether in sb and ewer in shb. It struggled as much as rdm at shb launch and nocturnal still has severe mp issues. Its mp neutral is being removed from lightspeed and in return getting some mp changes elsewhere in its kit.
About time really as its got no method of mp restoration outside of lucid dreaming
Sch has aetherflow and energy drain and a long list of healing tools plus a flying eureka potion (instead of two fairies of yesteryear). Its mp is very neutral from what I have seen but its very slow to get back into a fight after being ko'd due to its resources management unless recitation is available
(haven't played scholar past 60 since hw so any scholar mains that want to correct me on this please do)
So here's the question:
Should healers get their unique mp management styles expanded on (or readded in ast's case) and lucid dreaming be scrapped?
