[AST] Essential Dignity should have its scaling evened out, other changes

[pandabearcat]

I wish Essentail Dignity would have its max potency starting at 50%, instead of 0% hp.

It's very frustrating for an "uber lifesaving heal" to heal for a pittance when for instance an excog goes off or even a few hots tick.

I don't mind if the max potency goes down a bit to make up for it, but lets be honest, even at max potency it does still a tiny amount of the tank's hp unless it crits.

That's another thing, if it auto critted, that would save a lot of its variance too.

My perfect essential dignity would look like:

"A heal with potency scaling from 200 to 700 potency at 50% target HP or lower. Automatically crits"

Um... if you want a guaranteed crit 100% of the time, you might as well just buff the potency.

Also, you have to consider ED's low cooldown before you just flat out buff its strength.

Guaranteed crit isn't the same as a potency buff. It's more consistent. It would limit ED's heal range to a narrower band and would make it easier to plan around and avoid making it overpowered. I actually like the idea.

Without a crit it does feel a bit weak, however AST isn't in need of stronger heals at the moment.
