..For the player themselves AST uses the most, simply from card management. WHM in practice uses OGCDs the least often...

Nooooppe You can't do that. Either you include all the healing buffs each class manages or at least the comparable buffs they manage/time. If we're staying sub 90 sec buffs; SCH STILL has more to manage oGCD wise than both AST and WHM COMBINED (any sch worth his/her salt isn't letting fairy sic spam cds!!)

• SCH= emerency tactic, lustrate, Whispering Dawn, Aetherflow, indom, soil*, rouse (I know i'm missing some...)
• AST= CU, ED, card system, Synastry
• WHM= Divine(losing it lulz), Tetra, Assize and Asylum

This. Which is why the thought of AST being considered an "advanced" job by the devs and therefore being ridiculously more powerful than a WHM is upsetting.
I main WHM, but I also play AST and there is absolutely no added difficulty or discomfort I have with the job when switching to it. In fact, it feels exactly like playing a WHM, minus the cards. And a dare someone to tell me managing cards is difficult...
I also dare someone to tell me that RNG is an excuse to give a job OP utility. Because if that was the case, why isn't our RNG lilies resetting our CDs by 100% or healing on the level of Benediction? It's RNG so it has the right to be broken, right?...

YOUUUUU....that's the keyword; you don't find the extra cds/min harder to manage than the effort you output for WHM. However the APM aren't in your WHM favor.... AST is almost twice the APMs than WHM .


Every 30 secs you're pushing at minimum 2 buttons and max 3 just to deal with your cards; So evey minute you are pushing 4-6 buttons. WHM only has 3 cds on a 60 sec timer and they are losing one of them....... (mind you they add 3 more card functions so future SB AST will be doing a lot of button mashing)
AST APM is well over TWICE that of WHM on just the cards alone.....lulz

If YOU don't find having to do twice as many action per minute on your AST compared to your WHM, difficult, that's cool! But don't you think it's a stretch to suppose the nominal FFXIV community find AST just as easy to manage as WHM, or even comparable??
