I don't know if theyre doing this on purpose, but AST seems beyond broken.
I dunno where you guys got the info that earthly star is 30y but it is definitely not. To be accurate, the media tour tooltip listed the ability with a radius of 1y which is obvioulsy an error but people who got to play it said it is 10y.

It puts it at the same radius as Cure III now (since its radius got increased from 6y to 10y), an ability that a lot of people in this thread qualify as situational.

Also the direct comparison to assize is very restrictive. When you look at the effects, yes both of them deal damage and heal in aoe but they also differ in many ways.

As someone pointed out assize gives 10% mp back, has a radius of 15y and activates on the press of a button.

Earthly star on the other hand is a ground targeted ability of 10y which requires 10s to reach its full potential. If you thought Cure III was situational because of how restrictive it was, then this ability will have the same drawbacks.

And yes you can and probably should use it as soon as it's on cooldown, if not just to heal burst damage on the tank, but then I don't know the comparison to assize feels wrong. Just my personal opinion.
