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

I like AST as a healer, but I just can't get over how god awful their dps kit is.

Gravity in particular is especially difficult to use since you have no way of mitigating damage while DPSing. It's a shame, because visually it's one of my favorite spells.

In diurnal use Synystry on tank, Aspected Benefic, Aspected Helios and Collective Unconscious regen (wheel of fate) on tank, time dilate them all, cleric stance, grivity spam. The regen is powerful enough to keep a tank that uses cooldowns alive. Celestial Opposition can be used to stun all the mobs for an additional 1-2 Gravities, then Essential Dignity is there to get them back up if health is too low.

This is how i keep tanks up when wanting to gravity spam. Maybe others have a different way.
