In the same way the shield healers have some sort of regen. Just because they mainly focus o one type of healing, doesn't mean they will only have those types of heals.

I am VERY pleased my main job Dancer hasn't changed really at all. I won't need to really change my rotation, and the new actions will just slip right in seamlessly.
Overall I like the Ast changes. Little sad we're losing Sleeve Draw, but we'll see how that works. Little worried about the amount of skills. I'm gonna have to shuffle around my already somewhat overfull bars, but I am sure I'll make it work.
I'm not really a fan of the gap closer that's present on NIN's second Raiju follow-up.
It makes sense for the first to be a gap closer as Raiton is frequently saved for when you have to peel off the boss due to mechanics, but having a second just limits how much flexibility you have with your positioning.
I looked at the GNB guide and saw that every move was getting a potency nerf. At first I was concerned that SE was about to take the wind out of my sails, but then I looked at other job guides. Everyone's getting hit with the nerf bat. Guessing that has to do with the stat squish. Everything is fine.
It's been that way for the entire expansion. Diurnal AST was always WHM but with cheaper heals and better oGCD's. It's been straight up the superior healer for most of Shadowbringers after the rework, yet WHM's have been clinging to the idea that WHM is somehow the heal powerhouse. WHM isn't even that good as the beginner healer, its mana economy is terrible below 50 while AST gets mana from cards, has Essential Dignity and unlocks AspHelios much earlier than Medica II.
while using your mana and also being a dps loss if your shield doesn't break, dark knight being punished seems like to be a theme considering living dead too.
