Another comparation between AST and WHM

[Velox]

If AST could heal as much as a WHM, then it would completely destroy the only strength that WHM has. WHM lost almost all of it's mitigation potential with 3.0. It's nothing more than a heal-bot now. AST, while having to fight the RNG of cards, still has a LOT more utility than WHM does. Balance is all about tradeoffs. The more utility potential a healer has, the less heal potential it has to have.

I'm not saying AST is fine the way it is, but what I am saying is that you should never compare healing potential to WHM as an argument for balancing because WHM MUST ALWAYS have the highest healing potential in the game since they have the lowest utility potential.

AST healing potential is actually fine. Where work needs to be done is in the card strengths.
