Another comparation between AST and WHM

[winsock]

AST has nothing like divine seal, and you can't downplay assize, its medica + MP restore 10% ogcd. no mp cost
And Asylum is much better than CU as you can continue to perform other actions and move. You can't use
proccd bene2 on a whim, thats poor accessibility.

Again there is more than potency to take into account. I personally don't care about the lower potencies.
Its about making its kit more appropriate.

You're still splitting hairs on Assize and Asylum. If you want an instant AoE heal or a positionally restrictive HoT you can cast one.

I agree AST has no divine seal, but as I said before, divine seal's purpose is making WHM a more potent healer.

You can't use procced benefic II on a whim, but it is still more accessible than benediction.

You can say you want a better 'kit' but you're still talking about buffing the AST ability to function in the healing role i.e. making if a more potent healer.
