Seriously, when are you guys gonna nerf ASTs again? Its highly needed.

The problem with AST in pvp is being able to heal too much while moving and sprinting.
maybe spirit healing needs a nerf? no idea

A better argument is getting SCH up to par with WHM and AST.

Agreed, SCH is extremely lacking in PvP and I want to know why.

Lack off cc, aura blast was good in lvl 50 fl, where you could bait ppl on edges and push them off the cliff(good player didn't fall for it tho), blizz 2 accesible to all healer its a good tool but its our only way to cc, blind(ruin2) is underused IT'S GOOD but inconsistent, we mp starve easily compared to the two other healer, and harder to play since we have to manage fairy too. Even tho difficulty should never be a factor in tier ranking but I meh. Correct me if im wrong

I think the rule of thumb is "Excel in PVE, lack in PVP" and vice versa.

Unless you're a Warrior, lol. Well, even AST actually does pretty solidly in both PVE and PVP content, I just don't think it's OP as the opening post of this thread claims.

MCH is also a meta pick in both raids and Feast.

When playing Scholar in the feast, you have multiple issues...

1) MP - This issue is very common due to the fact that you are probably pressing Adlo a bit too much to anticipate burst placed on a target. The second part to mp issue is that you hold onto aetherflow stacks for Lustrates or Indom instead of spending them on damage with mp regain and pressing aetherflow when it's up. This causes a huge loss of MP regain. Third part is using the sacrifice fairy skill which takes it away, and doesn't award MP, thus after the time expires on the buff you get and resummon the fairy, you lose a lot of MP that way.

2) Lack of Snare - When playing in the feast, snaring and binding is your way of preventing burst coming to you or allies. Lack of a snare makes it pretty rough on scholars.

3) Dying - When you die, you res with no pet. This forces a swift cast...or if it isn't up, you probably are going in without a fairy unless you like your allies dying.

4) AoE healing can be rough. When a party gets ripped from dots, Indom is really the only counter to it but you NEED to be on top of it. If you fall behind on healing spread damage, you will most likely expend many lustrates trying to keep the current focus target up, leading you to no lustrates, some hurt people still, and having a death.
