Man... this made me remember Diurnal/Nocturnal sect Astro. It was so fun choosing which sect to pick based on my co healers.
When the Nocturnal sect got removed for the "split between pure and shield healers" I was so sad.
I would really like if we got the 2 sects back and be left to choose which we prefered. Can we have it back please?

I don't heal anymore, but AST was my favorite back in the day. I mourn the loss of the sects...

Because it was for freakin' nothing!

I actually didn't mind it at first, but on practice the whole Shield healer / Pure healer segregation turned out to be nearly pointless, and let me ask: what happens when the 5th healer gets added? It suddenly steals old AST fantasy and becomes flex? Or they won't mind having unbalanced types of healers?

Not even mentioning... The amount of shielding or direct/regen healing the 'other' healer has is quite a lot for them to even be categorized in a box.

SGE is already the flex healer as it stands

It’s a regen healer that has shields on its GCD

If they add a new healer, they would either have to turn back the AST changes, and so making the years the job fantasy got deleted all for nothing, but annoyance to the players, or ignore the unbalance and make the sacrifice moot. I am just sad they ruined a job fantasy for something like SGE who also failed to deliver in being a more battle focused healer.
