You seem to get the order reverse. Yes. Hybrid grants versatility. Except, currently, it's half-baked. You cannot switch stances in battles, that means you're pretty much limited to 1 of the 2 branches. That's why I said it's not that versatile. Being able to switch stances makes you more versatile, right?

Also, having both regens and shields doesn't necessarily make them outmode/more powerful than both whm and sch at all.

And for unique healer, AST have cards. I didn't even touch this aspect. The main reason AST is unique is because they have card system, not only because they have both regen and shield.
