Do AST cards feel clunky to anybody else?

All my SCH friends are having the same issue: if they use Indomitability, they lose one stack they will need for Lustrate, which is basically their only reliable big heal and is also their Oh shit heal. And it's only 600 potency. AST in Nocturnal has a 650 potency heal available all the time and that costs less MP than Adlo (which makes it more useful than Emergency Tactics + Adlo, unless it crits, which is RNG based). Also, AST has Helios, which is the same as a Emergency Tactics + Succor. Stop pretending that SCHs can heal as well as an AST without having to struggle with MP issues AND cooldowns AND stacks management. Is it doable? Yes, but it's harder. AST has an easier time healing than a SCH, even with Eos. If you can't do more as AST than you can do as SCH, then you need to get good.

I am sorry, but if you think a AST in Noct can out heal a SCH then you are in fact the one that is flat out wrong. Lustrate, indom and fairy embrace in conjunction with SCH casted heals push SCH hps far further an AST can get whlist managing mana appropriately. Add into the equation whispering dawn, fey illumination, emergency tactics and you have a threshold of hps on SCH that AST can not obtain and maintain like a SCH can.

Also, you say people must suck at both if they say SCH out heals AST then go on to describe how you and your friends mismanage aetherflow, which is entirely ironic say the least.

Also, take into account fairy embrace, which you are clearly not doing. For every GCD on SCH, you have to factor in one fairy embrace, which makes benefic II pale in comparison when used in conjunction with another heal. Also factor into this the mana management needed to output these heals as well and you get a very distinctly different picture than the one you are painting.

One person is pretending here and telling people they suck at their jobs when you describe someone mismanaging SCH abilities is hilarious.

I like AST, i even have an AST alt and will go back to AST for savage raiding when it has the needed changes.

But until then, drop this high and mighty act you have, its getting tiresome. There isnt some secret to playing AST like you claim. People you are talking dont suck at their job and you are the only one to understand anything on the classes. How you described SCH is flat out bad play style. Try analysing a good WHM/SCH playstyle in the future, stop the "learn to play" "get good" "dont suck" nonsense as its getting tiresome.

I hope Tato writes to Yoshi ASAP and lets him in on their secret AST strategies so that SE doesn't make the terrible mistake of adjusting AST when they're actually already stronger than SCH! :D

Edit: Nvm, this is borderline necro. Think we've beaten this horse already.
