I could have played shield for way to long that I struggles with pure but when I play whm and astro. Whm feel fine when I heal but astro feel weird like some healing are well not as good essential dignity feel strange to use and not strong enough
I'd have to disagree Astros aoe healing is crazy good compared to white mages, they just have so much. While white mage pratically has... lilly healing which is quite weak and static in what it does.
In single target its no contest Astros kit beats white mage by a mile Essential Dignity having 3 charges which are 900 potency when used well vs Tetragrammaton being 700 while only 2 charges on a longer recast, they have very comparable single target barrier and mit skills, white mage does have benediction but frankly it's so overated and on such a long cooldown that just having Tetragrammaton on a shorter recast would be better lol. This isn't mentioning the cards which adds extra defensives, healing boost, regen astros single target kit is stacked.
I think white mages kit is more convenient more then anything, so I can understand why some would have a easier time healing on it.
Though I might just be bias because if im going to play a pure healing its astro even if I didn't like it's rework.
