Has anyone quit healing?

and SCH has hands down the worst AoE in the game.

I dunno, AST has so many mana problems I never even get to use it's AoE.
Plus, SCH def has the coolest one. You slap the ground and it explodes. That's pretty metal.

It feels really lackluster compared to the others IMO, but am glad there's somebody out there who doesn't, but it's not even really an explosion just a quick flash of light that doesn't disappears almost instantly, if it was an explosion, then I might find it cool. Holy and Gravity feel like that have more of an impact from using them.

That said, I feel SCH should have just kept Miasma II, sure it didn't feel like it had an impact either, but it had a DoT tied to it and worked great as part of SCH's DoT mage aspect (Bane + Shadowflare + Miasma II, great AoE DoTing), so it didn't need anything more. Now that they've replaced Miasma with a Holy/Gravity equivalent, it just feels half-arsed IMO.

I wouldn't say AST's MP problems are so bad you cannot get Gravity off, I'm not a great AST as I am still in a learning curve with it, but I find I've tended to run into mana issues more in Nocturnal Sect and if overhealing too much. In a dungeon run, for example, I get loads of Gravities out.
