Then argue the points. Why you main it or not is irrelevant, no?

I started this discussion remarking on how people seem to expect AST to be the 'winner' over X class. That's not how the new jobs work. MCH has 1 situation where it is 'stronger' than BRD. It has a physical resist debuff. Aside from that, very similar. DRK has equivalent abilities to the other tanks, ekes out (maybe) at taking magic damage and 50-100 more personal DPS than PLD. That's it. Both WHM and SCH were homogenized in Heavensward. WHM got more oGCD healing tools, SCH got better AOE healing capabilities and another healing steroid.

AST is the only healer that can pitch in with MP/TP giving, and the option of swapping between Sects. What do you expect it to do better than your SCH, might I ask?
