    So, how is your AST healing in Alexander?

    I've healed through A1-3. Currently stuck at A4 because damage is too high, even with a WHM partner.

    Rarely had MP problem until someone died, although ballad did help alot in spamming Benefic II.

    Then things got worse when I got paired with another AST, who had to go Nocturnal, got blamed by party due to 2 AST combo.

    Alex seems solo healable, easily by WHM.

    I was just DPSing most of the time while the whm solo healed. The DPS I added by going into cleric stance made much more of impact then the 'almost worthless' card buffs.

    Might as well of just played SCH.

    I can say A1-3 is no problem to heal because A1-3 are very easy slightly harder than CT.

    For A4 i think is the same difficult like Pirmals-EX but u feel the difference between SCH and AST if u have a WHM partner.

    Through my experience so far... i dont think any FC will take an AST into SAVAGE mode solong you dont have cleared any turn and have some equip because WHM/SCH can do it better then WHM/AST (dont know about SCH/AST)
    U will have MP problems, ur buffs are to weak to sacrafice the healingpower and this in combination with RNG(SPIRE!!!!!), the lvl 60 abilitie is underwhelming and so on... we can read it in every forum thread.

    Many people posted feedback and i think if SE think the same AST needs buffs or changes they will fix it.

    Yeah when you're paired with static/seasoned raiders, solo healing even T1 with random newcomers is a great way to stress yourself out.

    But I agree about Cleric Stance DPS really helps moves things along in Alex.

    It wasn't difficult at all. Was easily able to heal most of it while my sch partner dps'd most of the fights. Plenty of time for AST dps thrown in as well. No mp issues, cards did well- got a good amount of balance and arrows. I didn't expect Alex normal to be difficult at all anyways, just need to wait to see what challenges savage mode brings.

    I'm fairly certain an AST (or SCH/WHM) could solo-heal up to A4. A4 is where it gets slightly more intensive, especially depending on your group composition. There aren't really any significant amounts of damage going out prior to A4.

    A4 wasn't too bad once you figure out what each mechanic did and how to play around it. Ran AST/SCH and pretty much spammed Ben1/Ben2 while spear/LA'ing myself to get through it. Essentially afked the transition phases instead of dpsing like our SCH . Only issue I truly had on this fight was keeping the tank up during Discold (Discoid?), but other than that, smart use of Synastry/Essential Dignity should be enough to handle most of the fight assuming your group are doing their jobs properly.

    in floor 4, tell your noob dps to SPREAD OUT.

    if they do, the damage isnt much, just need to watch for tank buster and the healer debuff.
    And keep dps healthy, a random laser or rocket could kill them otherwise

    People still not understanding that just because AST can do the content, doesn't mean it's as good as the other two healers.

    It is still the weakest healer of the three for many, many reasons.
