I've mained it since it came out in HW, and even I hate how pasteded-on it feels. Honestly? I miss back when it was designed to have weaker heals in return for its card buffs. The problem is that HW AST had godawful card management and all the cards have gotten buffs since then (original Balance was 5% AOE for like 15 seconds or something lol?), so it was a problem of those buffs not being worth the reduced healing...not that the reduced healing itself was a problem. I thought it was unique, and I enjoyed the extra challenge. When Square buffed AST's healing instead of their cards, I knew we were gonna be in for a bumpy ride when it came to future healing design, and so far I've kind of been right (they even later buffed AST's cards, making it even more lulzy!).
