Astrologian Hate!?

I just did the Vault as an AST for the first time.

Holy shit was it hard. SO much AoE I was at half mana the entire time if I was lucky. We wiped three times on the final boss before beating it because I simply did not have the ability to heal anyone but the main tank for more than 2 seconds. I couldn't heal more than one pull at a time and even then I had to have Asp Benefic AND be spamming Benefic II on the tank the entire pull.

It was miserable. WTB AST buffs a month ago.

Vault last boss is the nightmare for healers, that's when i really realized that AST really had issues(it was even before spread/lightspeed buffs). Now that i got my SCH to 60 and did vault as well, i never got a wipe on vault(last boss is still challenging for healers in general), and i did it about 8 times while leveling, even with the worst teams and most undergeared people as possible i could heal all through and still finish with around 30-40% mana left and aetherflow almost up for another extra MP. With AST i would almost always finish with near zero mana, many times even with a tank dead and me having no mana to ress so the MNK or DRG starts tanking lmao.

It just really sucks. I feel like there's something more to do than spam Benefic II....but I have no way of making my heals more powerful and that's about all I have for when heavy damage comes in.
