Translation: Oh no, before I might have been replaced by another WHM but now people will replace me not only with better WHM but Ast who are good as well.

If you're good at WHM, you have nothing to fear, there are just more people to replace bad WHM. WHM still has great healing, increased range on healing too.

The point of AST was to trade healing power for buffing, yet now they can heal more than the "strongest" healer and buff people.

No they're not. Divine Seal has a 60sec cd, Synastry 90sec. You can use D.S more often than you could use synastry and like someone already said, you dont use the full aspect of synastry all the time anyway since you wont be healing 1 person for the duration if he is already topped off. WHM has still the better healcds, he is still more powerfull in raw healing power. Sorry but Synastry is not 100% up all the time. If it where or if it had the same cd as D.S i would say you're right. Right now, you sound like someone who does not like the idea of three equally strong HEALjobs.

Translation, I ignore the fact that WHM has Benediction, Assize, Divine Seal more DPS and better MP management than AST.

Translation , i also ignore the fact that with the new card duration increases ast brings as much party wide dps as if a whm was cleric stance dpsing.

I play all healers for a reason so I can be an educated and informed player on all thigns healing. That being said I main astro because I enjoy it more but by no means do I think I am superior than other healers, in fact we have a place which is all we ever asked for.

You forget that Synastry duration can also be increased. You trade the 30 extra seconds to be able to heal 2 people at once. Even if you aren't healing the same target for the entire duration, and heal another target you will still put out more healing than a WHM using divine seal. AST heal CDs are better than WHM now.

AST was never meant to be a strong healing job, it was always meant to be weaker than the others to justify the use of buffs. AST was always capable, it just required good people to play it, which is why the forums cried over healing buffs, because this community sucks in general at this game. This patch was just to appeal to the casuals who couldn't learn how to play their class right, which leads us to a equal healer that can also buff the party. Which is what makes it broken.

Benedicition will never be used if things go right. Assize is mainly a dps/mp management tool. Divine Seal is worse than Synastry. I agree that AST should have better MP management, it's one of the things they should have actually buffed.

Why should SCH crying and complaint about AST buffs? I am not getting it. AST buff is still random, and yes you can now have the random buffs almost forever and ever if you get lucky, or one every 30 seconds that hits the entire party. Now all three healers have their own distinct flavors. As party leader, we can all now mix and match, try new things, and figure out which are the best combo for your party set up. We have now multiple options and strategy than the usual go to method of WHM + SCH. It is exciting, and brings out possibilities. You all should rejoice, that as healer, now you can come in three flavors, instead of bickering, complaining and crying foul, finger pointing "this job is OP, that job is OP".

I rather be SCH + Fairy who let me do DPS, convert back to heal, with aetherflow who pretty much sustain my MP, dissipation for when you get stuck with entire group of really shitty players. SCH is good, borderline OP in the right hand. AST is now just as good, and borderline OP in the right hand. Get used to it, git good at the job you choose to play :)
