    I have personally played AST for quite a while, even with what you CALL op shields, they are not op in the slighest, the Aspected Benefic spell costs alot of MP that ifyou abuse it, you run out of mp real quick, it is my preferred Healing class, I know it inside and out and it is anything BUT op, and the cards are incredibly random. Clearly SE thought the class needed improvements this expansion, they didnt overtune it, they gave it what it needed. For crying out loud I used to never use Nocturnal Sect because the shields from it were so useless, now I can effectively use both Diurnal and Nocturnal cause Noct doesnt suck like it used to.

    Also furthermore, the Sects does not make AST a better healer then the other two...not by a long shot. Even with the Regen effect from Diurnal, it is not at all as good as what WHM has with Medica II and Regen cause A) Aspected Helios and Aspected Benefic both cost more MP then Medica II and Regen and B) I know that Medica II and Regen have higher potencies.

    In short, guys...lay off of ASTs, they are not OP, they got something they really needed and I am not saying this cause I love AST, I know they are not op.

    Addendum: I still play my WHM cause for one thing, it still has things it can do that AST CANNOT, for example WHMs better AoE healing over time and better Regen with less mana costs, and Benediction is a huge life saver. I am though a better AST then I am with my WHM and that is because of skill and not because of differences in class power.
