Healers need an overhaul

[Shurrikhan]

thats why i said shouldn't the bigger issue be for AST vs. WHM cause WHM does have lillies compared to AST who does have delayed abilities they can preplan like earthly star and horoscope but that depends on how long the amnesia phase lasts and how frequent or damaging the AOEs/TBs actually are

True, true. And, as you've hinted at, if the (or some among the) Amnesia phase(s) is/are short enough, AST could be the more advantaged, by being able to place Earthen Star and Horoscope ahead of time to greater effect than simply not being pushed out of one's 20 to 60s of offensive-potency-refunding Medica/CureII casts (the lilies) which technically offered no further burst healing anyways.

On a sidenote, though, I just really miss strong flurry attacks, as per T9's last phase TB. That actually rewarded well-timed pre-cast heals, while shields made that process considerably more fail-safe/lenient but weren't outright necessary.

it's why i hate the fact people say you can't have completely unique jobs with set niches cause you can make FIGHTS take all jobs into accoutn and make some really interesting scenarios like for example you could play AST and use preplanned mits or healing to keep up optimal DPS in amnesia phase or WHM can use lillies since they're DPS neutral now they both achieve uptime and the same DPS but achieve it different ways
