Every time I decide to play Ast, I find a thread that destroys my enthusiasm.

I what.......this post is one of the problems when it comes to AST, becuase this post is full of utter rubbish.

Benefic is cheaper than physick or cure and heals for the same amount. If you think AST spells are too expensive then lord help WHM/SCH with their spell cost.

All healing skills of AST are cheaper than their WHM/SCH direct counterpart.

Luminiferous Aether gives exactly the same mana back as Shroud of Saints, can be extended by 5 secs by Celestial Opposition and then you also have the ewer card. So it does have a skill to get mana back, its unlocked at a significantly lower level then Shroud of Saints and how the hell have you missed one of the key abilities AST has whilst playing it?

AST has exactly the same problem when it dies as SCH and WHM do. No healers come back to life with more mana than the others. All three healers have to wait until their mana restore skills are back or have promoted bishop/mana song to get mana back.

This is the type of rubbish post that does AST no good. Not one of these things is true in the slightest. Learn AST better.

First of all, I am new to this job.

Secondly: The spell tip for "Luminiferous Aether" wasn't clear to me. I never knew that "Refresh" meant gaining mana back.
I always used this skill whenever I knew that there is lots of healing incoming, or whenever I have to dps. So long story short, I used it for the enmity solely.

And for me it seemed like managing my mana is a lot easier when I died and got ressed on my WHM. But again, mainly because I didn't know what Refresh meant up until this point.


Last but not least, calm down your tits a bit. Your hostile tone is very negative and it doesn't help me post my own opinion at all.

You seem to have a gross misunderstanding of how AST works, so I'll break things down a bit for you.

My responses are in red

What I said above, applies to you too...

About the Benefic part: I mostly end up using too much mana by using Benefic 2 the most because the tanks seem to eat up too much damage nowadays.



But thank you both for being so hostile though. It sure encourages people to post their own pov on the class.
You both seem to have missed that I enjoy this class the most and it is my main currently.
