You're really much much better off taking a scholar and white mage right now. The cards just aren't worth the seriously lack luster healing the AST provides. I'm very open to see how everyone else feels. But this is how I feel about it coming into 3.0 as a healer main who has solo healed every piece of 2.x content on both whm and sch. Apologies for the multiple posts. I wrote a whole chunk without realizing there was a character limit on posts as I don't post often.
