Again, I disagree that AST is what is making A1 more difficult. I did it as SCH and it was a pain in the ass to heal with my WHM. I couldn't find the potency to do AoE healing without sacrificing a stack of Aetherflow, which would be needed to do Lustrate; and DPS was not an option, since the group was taking too much damage and my WHM couldn't handle it. As AST, I would have more options and my buffs would be more meaningful, since the speed Selene was providing was wasted with all the moving and the way my group was positioned (I told them to do it in a different way, but they didn't listen to me). I do more for them with the AST toolkit, to be honest. I only played SCH to add more direct DPS to beat Faust. The buffs from the fairies didn't make any difference at all, and healing as AST has never been an issue to me, since I solo heal most of the time (my WHM enjoys dpsing) and I do it in Nocturnal.
