Your assuming that but every ast I see complains saying they can only get 1 maybe 2 aoe balances(I personally can easily get around 5-6 on average) so meaning now all the people who had no idea how work around their cards can now just increase party dps almost every draw.
Also having a aoe benediction is just to good more regen then whm more shields then sch 40sec tetra (idk if it's stronger but it sure as hell is the same) oh and overall ast heals ALMOST not quite as much as a whm with benefic/benefic2/helios etc...no part of a ast kit feels worthless. While whm and sch half their kit feels completely garbage.never going see a whm/sch comp.
Don't matter to me I'll be playing this broken class till SE wonders why every1 stoped playing sch/whm and everyone is a ast. Then MAYBE just maybe they will do somthing.
