Changes needed for AST

[Malin-HunnysMonsta]

I’m so glad I’m not going crazy. I’m starting to get really tired of sitting looking like I’ve got my thumb up my ass while in reality I’m just mashing Play because my previous 3 attempts didn’t queue between skills.

Being a controller player I was already apprehensive over the single cards only change for 5.0. But with the small issues of Play being tedious to work with and sleeve draw meaning I have to get RSI just trying to flick between my party members to buff them, I’m starting to regret my choice in sticking with the class.

I tested out the newer SCH and it’s oGCDs are so much more powerful than AST and I’m starting to wonder if I should backtrack off AST now and finish story on SCH.

Even in dungeons I have to spend so much more time using GCD heals compared to SCH just to get by.

I really like the skill that allows me to put a free shield/regen on someone every 30seconds, that’s fun, but outside that the class feels so weak in both healing ability and damage buffing. I used to enjoy AST but slowly playing the class is just becoming a chore.

I feel the same. I have all three healers at lvl 70. I just started playing Shadowbringers and my AST main is only 71 now. I'll get at least one other healer to the level I can do the first ShB dungeon and decide after that what I'll continue doing the MSQ with.
