With the Nerf to AST, AA's should no longer interrupt casting

[JzBen]

Lol, seriously?

Nope, but in 4v4 arena they have so much freedom compare to the other classes because of an instant stronger shield than adlo (300 vs 340 ish potency) with a bigger initial heal than a whm regen tick would give(150 vs 263 potency); all for less mana than an adlo and only slightly more than a regen (sorry if my maths is wrong). Ofc people will abuse it. You even say yourself the survivability of an Astro is more dependable, try making these astros go diurnal for 1 game and see how survivable they are. I solely speak of 4v4 here, because Seal Rock is irrelevant.
