AST and the new Expert dungeons

[RichardButte]

It's not that usual to see a sch or whm who uses Cleric stance in dungeon.

If you mean while healing, then yes, that's awful.

But when a healer is in a good party and is sitting at mostly full mana, they should absolutely be jumping into CS and adding DPS to the fight.

However... it's not a problem for everyone.
Just sayin' we have to be carefull regarding the forum's complaints.

True, complaints will always be louder than they need to be.

But we've seen enough level-headed, analytical feedback from players running Savage who've played as both SCH and AST a while now and we've all come to the same conclusion: you generally CAN do it as an AST, but either of the other healers can do it safer, faster, and typically doing more damage on the side. You CAN, but why would you when it only puts more pressure on the other healer and the rest of your group?

I'm not worried about it, though. They fixed up warriors a while back to put them on par with PLD and I'm sure they'll do the same here.

Yoshi-P wanted to make sure that AST didn't have some crazy exploit that could be used to faceroll Savage on the first week, and I don't blame him in the least. I figure ASTs were going to wind up sitting Savage 1-4 out anyway (at least for world firsts). Let's see what Tues' patch brings us...
