It's what makes them... shield healers -- having mitigation not available to every healer (those that are not... shield healers).
Correction, that's literally every healer except WHM.

Don't forget that AST has access to spammable barriers for 20 seconds on a 120 second cooldown. They aren't weak shields either. 625 potency single target and 312 potency party with a built in +20% modifier as well.

WHM has no answer to this whatsoever, and despite this, benison is arguably weaker overall vs Celestial Intersection.

Is it time for me to start repeating how little effort SE seems to put into designing and play testing healers at a high standard of play?
