What does everyone think about those AST buffs?

[Publius85]

I can't wait to play with all these changes!

If they manage to let me properly macro my cards, I'll be happy. I don't care much about the potency, have been healing fine with the weaker spells till now -although Nocturnal seems pretty neat now- but 30 seconds on Arrow/Balance are super neat! If you have a bit of luck on the draw you can actually start to properly upkeep your buffs all the time. Synastry is not only a multi heal but a realy healing+ cd now.

All in all it should at least help quell the constant bickering in the forums.

Okay guys, now tell me the reasons why we need WHM and SCH now?

Away with you peasant

Both still have superior MP management and AoE heals/range. WHM still excels at burst healing and has superior Regen options in Regen, Medica II, and Asylum. SCH still has superior mitigation and a fairy. Both still beat AST in DPS (especially SCH).

[Kaizersan]

AST's lack of dps is due to the fact they increase other people's dps so it makes up the difference especially now with how far you can extend balance on someone.

You don't want MND party buff? :/

asdfghjkl;'\

It really peeves me that ASTs who want to do the current hardest (usually raid) content are limited to half their play style because they offer the same buff as SCHs... at least until the content becomes laughably easy.

Question i have is, now that Synastry can almost be comparable to Divine seal would you say it's worth to use it just for the 20% boost in healing? Like even if you don't necessarily need to heal some dps or offtanks, but the main tank is very low on hp and ED is on cooldown, would it be worth to use Synastry just as a panic button like divine seal?

[Kemas]

It should basically be used on recast, on the MT- and then use the benefit to do additional dps. <3 I could see it being used similar to how I use Divine Seal and Medica II's/Regens to allow me a little breathing room on WHM. YAY.
