White Mage Overflow

with AST having the most versatility and utility imo.

Are you back in time and still in SB maybe? :>

Utility is there sure, but a WHM beats an AST for contribution in every form. They have higher DPS contribution and HPS. AST cards atm don't give enough raid DPS to contribute as much as a WHM does with their personal DPS. There is a bad gap between AST and both other healers really.

I don't know why SE thought this was okay...to have AST be so much weaker than both other healers in HPS AND DPS. That isn't balance. They gutted AST CU....then just gave it to SCH instead lol I don't even get their thought process at this point and I have definitely lost any and all faith I had left about them balancing healers.

IMO The balance was so much closer in SB, WHM just needed some help, instead they destroyed the other two healers to make WHM good....instead of just making WHM good :/

No kidding. All of my OGCD's have low potency and long cool downs. The GCD heal usage for AST is higher then sch or whm. The card system is not fun and competely convoluted at the moment. MP mangement is a headache because of all the GCD healing we have to do making dpsing a pain mostly in 4 man dungeons though. FFlogs is showing AST as the top healer in 80 4 mans...wonder why that is!! OH I know cause we got to spam things like Benefic II and blow multiple OGCD's on large trash pulls. Sorry for the sarcasm

AST just looks like an unfun brainache to play now.

But in Stormblood us WHM players got told we were "trash tier" by raiders and were hassled constantly to "switch to AST".

Seems like Square Enix can't get healers right. I also don't understand the amount of people comparing SCH and WHM, it's a stupid comparison. WHM would never replace SCH because Nocturnal AST is really bad.
