He stated we wanted healers to be equal what else can AST get, all new jobs have some form of "similar" abilites to each other, like MCH having MP regen abilites, just like BRD, etc. SO AST needs a regen ability and or a shield ability.

I mean, what else can they give it to make it look attractive? regen is very useful and so are damage shields. they just gave a much weaker version of both.
