Done with AST

[Leiloni]

Yes yes another one of these "oh no AST sux lol plz buff us" threads but I would just like SE to see that there's yet another AST unhappy with their job.

Now don't get me wrong I like the flare of the class, and I can even deal with the RNG cards. But when a WHM can follow a tank into a dungeon where the tank pulls 2+ groups of mobs and be fine, and I will go dry on MP before the mobs come to half and most of the time the tank doesn't even survive that long because I simply do not have the throughput, is rubbish.

So I'll be going back to my WHM with a full healing kit until you fix this poor job you so deem a "healer". I understand we have utility in card's that can do all kind's of cool things. And for other classes, such as BRDs and MCHs that deal a bit less damage because of their utility that's cool. But it simply does not work for a healing class. Just wanted to express my dissatisfaction with a class I was looking forward to playing and not beta testing. Thanks.

Can we all stop talking about Savage and get to the OP's point? OP is not anywhere near Savage if he can't heal regular level 60 dungeons (and going by how many "likes" his post got, a lot of other AST's are in the same situation).

AST has no problems with Neverreap, Fractal, or Alex Normal. I haven't done Bis Ex yet. Let's just all acknowledge that for that content, healing is fine (even in big pulls), mana is fine, buffs and dps are fine. I'm sure WHM/SCH is probably easier, but it's not difficult doing that stuff on AST and yes I run DF all day so I've seen all sorts of groups.

We all agree the class could use some work for harder content but the above stuff that OP seems to be discussing, and that most AST's are doing right now, is really not hard. Any AST that is having difficulty with that stuff just needs to improve a bit.

Yes, apparently people tend to get off-topic if it concerns AST :X.

On a side note BIS Ex is also clearable with AST w/o issues (concerning mana, healing, dps etc.)

If I'd summarize most of the last posts it's probably like this:

- most of us agree AST still needs some buffs
- most of us also agree that AST is capable of clearing content (let's keep Alex Savage out of this for now)
- most of us think that AST is fun, yet still weaker than WHM/SCH

So, all we got to do is wait for the future and how SE wants to "balance" AST after they get their results from observing AlexSavage X:
