My problems with AST buffs.

[Assirra]

I love the AST hypocrisy in threads like these.

Remember, AST was viable even before the buffs. The problem was that AST buffs usually were unreliable and made little difference most of the time, so there werent any significant reasons to put up with a less potent healer. Then there was thread after thread of AST crying about how they couldn't bring to the table what other healers brought to the table.

Now AST gets a buff both to potency and cards. WHM is now in a position where it will still be viable, but doesn't have access to the utilities and support that other healers bring, and this is in addition to the loss of proshell and graniteskin. You'd think ASTs would be a little more understanding.

Viable? Did you happen to read the astro in savage thread?
Constantly people switching over because they didn't want to be a bigger burden to the group.
That is not viable, that is forcing your whole group to play on savage hard mode or some nonsense.
