Scholar and Healing (ignoring the dps aspect)

[Enla]

I don't even care about the DPS angle anymore honestly, I just want our potency to be buffed and more importantly for AST not to have better shields than we do and instant cast ones at that. Either half their potency to balance the instant cast or give them a cast bar like SCH's have. Likewise Succor needs to have a lowered cost as does Adlo, and Emergency tactics needs to be on a short cooldown or a more instant one. Don't even get me started on Fey Union and the other small potency buffs we need across the board. If we're no longer going to contribute to DPS as greatly as before, our heals need to be adjusted accordingly.

I was lvling AST the other day and you know what? I find it disgusting as to how more powerful the shields are to myMain. Back when SB was announced, I thought to myself, "Hey, why not lvl an AST? you know, for those times the team may need some of those cards, I can help them with that." now at lv62 on AST I notice my little NoctShield lasting a little too long when fighting mobs above my lvl. I sat there in Lochs to see how long it really lasted... took the 2 mobs 5 hits to get through and that wasn't even a Crit. I switch over to my i312 SCH and guess what? its gone in 2 secs... 1 Blargh hit. I took my AST and shelved it... I can't do this. It's like I'm cheating on my wife or something if I go AST. Hell, I would rather go WHM, at least then its a whole new experience with barely a shield to worry about. The problem is, I really hate WHM. it's still lvl 34 from what I remember.
