AST Sect Theory

[Ninimo_Babamo]

I feel like this entire post is just a troll. Why would you need 8 people to stand around to test regens? It's simple. Use one. The ticks on one are the same as the ticks on 8. This is such a joke. Noct is horrible and should never be used outside of pvp. If I'm playing as scholar and an astrologian wants to join my groups and shield, hes got two options. Switch to regens and learn to heal, or get kicked from my group. I'm not here to solo heal.

To recap, the WHM has longer and more potent regens. If they decide to forgo regens, it's a sizable difference than if an AST forgoes regens to go with more potent healing with a SCH to compliment what they already have.

This argument just killed your entire topic. On the flip side: To recap, the SCH has more potent shields. If they decide to forgo shields, it's a sizeable difference than if an AST forgoes shields to go with more potecny healing with an AST to complement what they already have.

Completely, 100%, invalid argument. It is unacceptable for an AST to use their shields over a scholar if there is one in the party.

Your other argument is that Aspected Helios is better with shields than with regens, but think about how crazy that is. Over the duration of the regens, they will heal far more than shields will. You cast the Aspected Helios loaded with regens as a big his is coming out, allowing the initial hit to get everyone up enough to survive any immediate damage while the regens slowly tick away pulling players back to full health as you deal with other things, like buffing or dpsing. It is very wasteful for you to top everyone's health off by hard casting each time they drop below 100% HP.

You seem to have no experience in hardcore raiding and that is where your entire argument stems from. The point of someone clearly inexperienced in what is truly is to be a healer.

Meanwhile, you still haven't reached 60 on your AST, and by the looks of it, you don't even play it anymore. You've stopped and you're leveling Dragoon again.
