    People still arguing that AST is OP?

    The problem with AST is that it's not their problem, the other two jobs' utilities are nonexistent or just not worth considering over. AST Every single AST card could be a 1% buff when expanded, and they'd still be considered over SCH and WHM because it's better than what the other two could do.

    The problem is not that AST is overpowered at all, it's that the other two jobs are lacking something to set them apart and make them worth considering over AST. AST is the utility healer. Scholar has some, and WHM has none.

    They wanted all healers to be able to have substantial healing on their own, and they do, WHM more so than others, especially since the plenary indulgence change, however there are no fights tuned to where WHMs extra healing is necessary.

    The only way people would choose a WHM in savage content as they are, is if they were strong enough on their own to not need another healer.

    Scholar would receive more love themselves if their utility was either on a shorter cooldown or more potent.

    TL;DR: AST is fine now, work on the other two.

Because it's balanced, the other two healers are just underpowered compared to it, that doesn't make it overpowered. Somehow.

    Ugh. Seriously?

    This one hosted by a WHM so they wanted either SCH or AST to not stack another WHM.





    ^ Seems like all healers are sought after and wanted.

    Keep in mind also these PFs were all BEFORE the patch notes from last night revealing AST balance nerfs. They were screenshotted last week.


    I don't get why people seem to think that WHM or SCH are not wanted. Those screenshots are only taken just in one evening also within 10-20 mins of checking PFs here and there, plenty more if I kept checking.

    Sure some groups might block one of the healers out just like some groups might refuse to take a specific DPS for reasons. It is their group so they can make the decision, but even so obviously there are MANY other groups to choose from if one group gives you crap for just not being an AST.

    Please stop acting like groups are fully ostracizing any healer who isn't an AST please. It is plainly not true. Primal DC seems to be totally accepting of all 3 healers.

    this is debatable but doesn't much matter. The reason you're seeing this is because AST is the one target, and SE's attitude toward AST has demonstrated that they have absolutely no intention of ever balancing healers. As a result player's frustrations are boiling over. The solution is so incredibly simple there is no excuse for SE to not have implemented it without willful intention to withhold it.
