That can be applied to any class though. AST can buff with cards, SCH have Selene, WHM can.... Uhm... Eh... Oh shit.

See my point? Not everyone shares the same strengths. If they did the classes would just end up homogenised. WHM have the strongest potential Healing output and powerful DPS and AoE but lack much in the way of mitigation tools and group buffs. SCH excel in Mitgation, have strong dps and have some mitigation tools to offer but have limited actual sustained healing output, particularly with AoE healing. ASTs can almost be as good as WHMs with healing or SCH with Mitigation and still retain some decent mitigation even without the Nocturnal Sect and they have a very potent set of buffs but are inferior in offensive options to the other two.

Id also point out that Gravity has two things over Holy. One, it can be targeted so you don't have to run into melee to cast it and two, its cheaper to cast.
