Things I'm starting to hate on AST

[Vlady]

The reason the current healing meta is what it currently is because some groups are sticking to the quota. Astrologian puts out basically as much as a white mage without the cooldowns so to say that the astro cannot output enough healing to cover the scholar additional dps is not entirely true. They provide their utility around card buffs which are quite strong in the hands of a skilled player who can coordinate with other people. And from my own personal parse against a (lol dummy) I was easily pushing 800 dps as well. Nocturnal actually provides stronger single target heals potency wise then white mage is capable of and as a few pages down the math between sect stance and noc efficiency wise are the same unless I am mistaken so people who say that noc is in a bath situation right now need to do more then give it a small try.

Faust is not an aoe heavy fight minus his cleave and synastry easily covers the damage buff from 4-5 to let an astro solo heal as well as a white mage as long as he is not cleaving everyone. And the parse was from the mist ward but since I do not know if you can place higher level dummies in your house or not so I cannot say.
