The AST’s main issues are not the Cards !! Petition here with me

[SakiKojiro]

Please don't take this as me bashing or white knighting AST.

But for all the things that need addressing with it, let's at least be sensible here. There is no way the job is anything like as bad as it was when it launched in 3.0.

Have you played it? The flavor and identity has been completely torn out, and what's left is weirdly undertuned numbers very reminiscent of the 3.0 days where it couldn't keep up in healing at all in raid content causing wipes or loads of stress on the other healer.

I'm fine with AST having to rely a lot on the other healer, if the buffs and benifits of having an AST outside of healing are good enough to justify bad healing numbers. Spoiler: They don't.
