Do you not struggle just as much if not more with prey as an AST?

I don't struggle with it because I use Synastry during preys. The main challenge of that mechanic is not healing the prey target; if that was the case, spamming Benefic II/Cure II/Lustrate or even E. Dignity/Tetra (or even Bene) would solve the problem. The main issue is keeping your tank alive while healing the prey target and then topping the tank before the buster. Synastry makes it easy: I place Synastry on the tank and I focus healing the prey target; for every two heals I use on the prey target, my tank gets the equivalent of one heal, which is enough to keep him in a good spot for the buster. Then I just use Disable to take 10% out of the buster and I top the tank with Benefic II.
In case my tank gets picked for prey, I use Synastry on the other tank and that helps my WHM partner; if I get picked for prey, my tank covers me (PLD ftw) and I use the same Synastry strategy that I'd use if he was chosen.

Do you live in magical christmas land? Do you play on a simulator? Are you and your guild made up of robots?

You're speaking in theorycraft and not in real life.

You do realize that the ridiculous cooldown of synastry is longer than 2 preys in A1, right? You act like you can just throw out synastries whenever you want.

I would just like to point out that in A1S, due to resin bomb drops during the jump phase, there is actually a two minute delay between Oppressor cycles (perfect for Synastry).

Have you even done A1 Savage?

Synastry's CD aligns wonderfully with the double preys in Alex Savage 1. I normally throw it on the tanks (unless they wonderfully both get it (can that even happen?) so help sustain against autos & royal fount while casting two Benefic IIs on the prey'd target.

In A1, you could throw it on one prey target and heal the other, but healing is so trivial there :x

I feel like you're all missing the point. You guys are talking about how to heal the preys. While two scholars are trying to figure out how to get more accuracy on their gear to do more damage to speed things up.

She would have killed the boss, np. She switched to sch and two shot it. With 85% mana to spare.

ASTs worry about how the hell they're going to heal content.
While WHM and SCH worry about which esoteric gear piece they should buy first >_> <_<
That's funny

Hows it you ended up with 85% mana to spare? Thats a huge amount, I havent done raids yet as an AST, but healing the new dungeons, I find that I go OOM pretty quick if I choose to help DPS, which is making me reconsider using my mp for DPS spells. I usually pop LA at 85% mp, then pop it as soon as it comes up after this first time, unless mp is at 100%, and always EWER myself, and even then in heavy AOE dmg fights, mp can dip really low. My previous main before the expansion, was SCH, and i had 0 mana issues, but boy i do feel the difference with AST. btw never tested or paid attention, but does synastry heal the other target even if you do overhealing?

Derek was referring to my original post, I ended AS1 on my sch with 85% mana to spare.

[DawnSolaria]

Probably. I'm a good SCH, according to people, and I can do a lot of DPS, but I'm more comfortable playing AST and WHM. I've adapted to AST healing style really well, so maybe it's just that.

Its hard to believe you are a good SCH (or any healer) when you don't even know SS stacks with Asylum. You should back up your seemingly fabricated raid story with some video evidence, and stop believing you are the best Astrologian ever.
