Do AST really need this Buff?

[NorthernLadMSP]

I'd consider myself an AST main as I've played the job since day 1 of Heavensward early access. I think they have gone overboard in Stormblood based on the skills as we know them today.

The four main things that need to be toned down:

1. The 10% healing sect bonus is totally unnecessary.
2. Earthly Star sounds amazing but I feel the heal potency is too high, especially in it's buffed 10 second form.
3. Third, the Lady card is exciting, but 500 potency is too high. There's no reason the potency should be higher than Benefic.
4. Last, I believe the potency for Nocturnal Aspected Benefic has been buffed far too much.

Third, the Lady card is exciting, but 500 potency is too high. There's no reason the potency should be higher than Benefic.

For what it's worth, I assume it's high because you had to burn your buff to use it, plus, if memory serves, it's a chance for that to come up as opposed to Lord.

They don't really have to burn a buff though, just think of all those times you had an aoe royal road ready to go waiting for that balance and kept drawing bole and redraw into spire or spear redrawn into ewer etc and you just had to discard them. Its essentially removing the need for the discard button by turning even the trash cards into something worthwhile.
