AST Sect Theory

[Yumi_umi]

Also have u tried playing ast as an individual and not as a jr. Healer? Im not denying tht ast still needs a noct buff etc but my point is that u gotta try playing ast more better to see how it can shine over the 2 other healers.

Ast was designed for above average healers as its toolkit only rewards the good parties and punishes the bads. There is no middle ground saddly.

What do you mean as "Jr. Healer?"

I'm becoming more of the opinion that AST was designed for the casual healer since skilled healers find too many holes in its kit to make it truly competitive with the other two healer Jobs. I see AST's current version as the lower-tier, niche character in a fighting game; you either play it simply because you like it, or you resign yourself to working that minimal toolkit for all you can just to try to keep up with what other characters can do with much less effort.

In theory it rewards good teams and punishes bad. But I only see how it punishes bad teams. How does AST reward good teams? By throwing 15sec 5%dmg buff once in 3~ minutes after shuffling and royal roading ?
AST rewarding good teams does not really exist, WHM or SCH in that case could reward good teams much better by for example - dpsing(cos whm and sch dps is higher than ast)
