WHM Vs AST Healing Comparison at 50

[sharazisspecial]

AST has no equivalent to Divine seal or PoM. Two abilities that increase healing output. Which is another important thing to consider when comparing WHM to AST. Especially since Divine Seal is only 60 second Cooldown.

Yes that is 100% correct, all i am looking at is base healing, without the WHM or AST buffs.

To me biggest thing im looking at.. does WHM only Pull away when using the healing buffs ?

and i did not compare SCH as i never got it to 50

It sounds like AST would play like WHM, but it lacks key abilities to do such. Keep in mind that AST is forever losing MP especially with Benefic procs. While it makes them instant, they're still losing MP while WHM and Freecure and Overcure are free casts. This makes their MP pool last longer as well.

If you look at raw numbers like that, then you would think "AST can practically do what WHM does", but situations and abilities is what mixes up things. If not, then all jobs would essentially play the same role.
