Ithink we need to wait prog to see if AST has been overbuffed. The fixes they got didn't really change anything since they were already the go to pick for speed runs ans frankly no1 was ever picking WHM up for it's contribution to the overall dps

Still though, i don't think it's very healthy for AST and WHM to be near equal in pdps and AST to excel in raid dps. this is essentially saying RDM is perfectly fine being a prog monkey. not to mention AST isn't terrible for progression, whm is just better. Now we're going to see more casual/midcore groups sheep ast even harder since whm was very viable even post progression if you we'ren't speed killing. I think whm needs to be brought up above the other 2 healers so that it's excess healing isn't the only reason to bring it. AST is also now the most mobile healer as they don't lose malefics or have to use a weaker skill to transition across the battlefield which is very powerful. top 1% or not, this job is kinda overtuned alongside scholar.
Saying that WHM wasn't in the healer meta in the first palce so AST getting better shouldn't matter is silly. This would be like putting disembowel back at 10&, the meta won't change, SAM/MNK/SMN/BLM/RDM just looks even worse and the Gap gets wider. we want to close the gap not make it bigger
