How are healers fairing right now?

Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with all of his opinions on the changes. The AST changes are a perfect example, it make sense in a speed running context but that's about it. Also he didn't seem to initially mind the dps nerfs because he was excited about the healing toolkit. But at this point in time I also wouldn't be surprised if he found healing a little bland and wished he were playing another role.

But with all that said and done, he knows healers incredibly well and he's as close to a healer influencer as we currently have. His opinion is still valuable, and so is his feedback. Considering that SE is already siding with casuals like crazy, it definitely wouldn't hurt having someone pull in the other direction.

Then Momo can live with the fact his opinion shared a input on the downfall of the AST player base. Now my class is the most boring one out of them all. Taking a parse runner opinion on a healer class adjustment is just invalid and the Worst thing you could possibly do. Now none of my cards feel special. They honestly should just rename them all Balance because it doesn't make a damn of a difference having them named all different if the effect is the same.

I highly doubt the changes had anything to do with speed runners lol. It was SE's cheap attempt at lowering the skill floor and making it easier for newcomers.

I'm not disagreeing with you, in fact what you said could be completely right, but I fail to see how changing the class to make it nearly unplayable without macros for people with controllers is making ast "easier".

If they wanted to really make it easier they could have not separated draw and play and also kept AoEing the standard cards the same. Oh and kept the time extensions to minimize having to cycle through the party list.

^Exactly my point. Royal road made things a lot easier. Sometimes I end up throwing the wrong card on myself and it's annoys me. I refuse to play AST until they either change the card system or re work it.
