So no, you don't just get to discount deployment tactics because the cool down is longer and you don't get to discount crit!lo or crit succor just because it's RNG. Especially when you're comparing it to ast, which is the king of RNG. Balancing is all about the big picture, not pointing out tiny specific details.
Physick = benefic before sect bonus so weaker than benefic.
helios, no sch equivellent.
Essential Dignity -> Lustrate.
Benefic II, no sch equivellent
Asp. Benefic, bigger shield than adlo, less mp, almost as big as a crit adlo.
Asp. Helios -> succor, much more powerful than succor, shield is bigger than a deployed adlo
CU -> Sacred soil, CU wins by a mile
Earthly Star -> Indom, bigger heal if not set up, almost double indom's heal if allowed to set up, also does aoe damage.
Lady card, no sch equivellent

Yeah look at the full kit, AST are so hurting for heals what ever will they do.
