Healers and 6.0; What we can learn from AST and what I'd like to see going forward

[LariaKirin]

Not a fan of the Malefic treatment for Broil and Glare.

What we can learn from AST is that having 20% of your dps contribution tied to raid buffs means a potency buff to other jobs is an indirect buff to your job. Meaning that AST will inevitably outperform other healers in dps because Squeenix is utterly terrified of nerfs and choose to powercreep the game instead. So we end up with the best dps, best free healing output, best mobility in one job.

SCH is currently a worse AST that needs to sacrifice more dps for less healing output.

WHM is completely crippled and requires an enabler to reach their dps potential. Why AST is allowed to still be above WHM in dps when WHM has to sacrifice the entirety of their healing output is baffling. Why haven't they moved Lightspeed to WHM yet? Why is PoM still 150s? WHM needs to not heal to match AST dps.

So now you want a WHM to reach their maximum dps output while being enabled (read: carried) by an almost solo-healing co-healer. And AST is just better for that.

WHM needs more mobility + more dps/cheaper heals. SCH needs fairy fixes. AST needs nerfs.
