Snip...

You're not being rude. I was only commenting on the card buffs, and not the healing buffs since those already happened and probably won't be debuffed back to the original potencies.

So, let me clarify: as it currently stands now, AST can heal as well as WHM in Diurnal and isn't far off from SCH in Nocturnal. Changes to both the cards' RNG setup and cooldown durations can potentially allow for optimal set ups more frequently than imagined which would in such a case make AST more desirable than the other healing jobs since they heal just as well and can buff, or they may inadvertently render other jobs obsolete. I'm not saying it will happen with card buff changes, it's just a potential result. This possibility is exactly why they took so long to buff AST and why they said what they said in their live letters, something along the lines of "Pushing the AST just a little too much may overpower it."

I agree that card buffs and healing cooldowns is what they should have changed. I just question to what extent they should be changed now, since they changed healing potencies instead.
