Changelist for ast ^_^

I still don't think WHM will just disappear, cause it's a very, very convenient job for progression. But I can definitely see a lot main healers dropping WHM in favor of AST.

Aside from weapons, it's quite convenient that players can gear up all three healer roles at the same time with the use of savage or crafted gear. Tomestone gear depends a bit on the patch, I guess. Getting BiS is another matter, naturally. But with the changes listed, I get the feeling I can flex comfortably between WHM and AST during progression until I grab a weapon at least.

I agree. This is also made more convenient by the lack of job-specific tome gear like it happened in 3.0.

Don't get me wrong, compared to PLD back then, WHM is in a much, MUCH better spot, since all the support AST now has is not needed like the extra damage from DRK was back then for Gordias progression. But I think WHM will slowly see less and less use as AST players become more reliable and efficient at playing the class.
