Astrologian misconceptions

[TatoRazzino]

Range "issue" is a bit overblown. Stems from White Mage mains being used to 20y Medica II. Scholar skills including Whispering Dawn is 15y. Of course someone will say they are not the main healer, and yet they were given an enhanced AoE toolkit this go around, albeit with resource usage. In the end it takes is raid and postional coordination.

If they keep following the kind of AoE damage they designed for Alexander: Gordias, the range "issue" will be nullified. In A3S, for example, it takes more than a Medica II to heal through some heavy AoE damage mechanics, which means that even WHM requires the party to stand within 15y – Medica and Assize aren't 20y, it's a Medica II thing. This means that AST is perfectly fine in relation to range.

Yep exactly, A3S x6 Splash is an example where it does not matter what healer job you are, the healer and the raid has to adhere to the 15y for the supplemental healing required. There isn't any argument about that, unless they want to wind-up with someone dead. Of course, AST has an uncanny skill at the speed of light for that mechanic too.
