Thoughts from a 60 AST & 60 WHM

[SuzakuCMX]

I've said it before that AST needs changes but it doesn't automatically rule it out from being capable healing in savage - WHM/SCH combos probably can do it easier (no doubt) but it doesn't mean other comps won't flat out work. All this anticipated failure before anyone gets a chance to actually play at a savage level.

The problem is that if Savage is tuned to be passable with AST healing even though it is miles behind in terms of ability to heal or DPS compared to SCH/WHM, it is going to be so laughably easy for WHM/SCH to heal through it that it won't be a challenge, unless the mechanics in Savage are just a ton OHKO's that have nothing to do with healing, in which case it's just gimmicky and bad game design.

It would be like AST equivalent to doing T5 no echo vs, WHM/SCH doing it at level 60 in an undersized party.
