What does everyone think about those AST buffs?

[Evanoel]

Yasss, can't wait to test them out tonight. I particularly love the reduced cd of CO = More frequent boosted LA. <3

Does Nocturnal's 5% boost still work now? If so, (forgive my math if it's wrong don't hurt me please)

Aspected Benefic in Nocturnal Stance still has a potency of 250. Noct's 5% potency buff increases AB's potency to 262.5 (I think?). The shield portion is now 130% of the heal, leaving us with a 341.25 potency shield. Total effective potency comes up to 603.75, just slightly more than Adlo's 600. Note, however, that AST also has Benefic II with 650 potency healing (682.5 after sect bonus), so Bene II is still your go-to burst heal. AB however has higher BASE shields than SCH's Adlo (341 vs 300).

Otherwise, Noct's healing potencies now look like this:
Benefic - 420
Benefic II - 682.5
Helios - 315

And then can be enhanced further with Synastry's 20% boost. I guess this... sort of makes up for the lack of a fairy?

I feel op now and I haven't even played 3.07 yet.

[Whiteroom]

Looks like some really good improvements to me! Won't feel so weak anymore!

[Publius85]

I can't wait to play with all these changes!

If they manage to let me properly macro my cards, I'll be happy. I don't care much about the potency, have been healing fine with the weaker spells till now -although Nocturnal seems pretty neat now- but 30 seconds on Arrow/Balance are super neat! If you have a bit of luck on the draw you can actually start to properly upkeep your buffs all the time. Synastry is not only a multi heal but a realy healing+ cd now.

All in all it should at least help quell the constant bickering in the forums.

Okay guys, now tell me the reasons why we need WHM and SCH now?

[CottonMacabre]

Question i have is, now that Synastry can almost be comparable to Divine seal would you say it's worth to use it just for the 20% boost in healing? Like even if you don't necessarily need to heal some dps or offtanks, but the main tank is very low on hp and ED is on cooldown, would it be worth to use Synastry just as a panic button like divine seal?

Away with you peasant

[Kemas]

It should basically be used on recast, on the MT- and then use the benefit to do additional dps. <3 I could see it being used similar to how I use Divine Seal and Medica II's/Regens to allow me a little breathing room on WHM. YAY.
