What does everyone think about those AST buffs?

No CU is arguably better. You have to stay in Asylum/Sacred soil all the time, whereas you only need to step into CU once and you get the buff.

It is not. It's different. I A1S, a WHM has a few options on how to use Asylum. I just throw it on a tank + regens + possibly medica ii ticks for a lot of hot. I basically use it on cd since it's always useful. CU is much more situational. In A1S the only efficient way to use it is after the jumps to mitigate the damage and leave a hot on your party and that's it. Using it in other circumstances is a waste of time, so you'll use it 3 times during that encounter. I use Asylum 7-8 times in A1S. In A2S Asylum is probably better since you have to move a lot and there's no big aoe to mitigate. They have different uses. The fact that you can't throw the bubble is an important point that must be somehow balanced with a better effect when you CAN use it. Anyway, I believe that CU will be very powerful in A3S.

Ast and Whm have access to their arsenal all the time until MP last.

Which is some major issue, not sure why you write at the end like it's not so important. Everything is mutually exclusive if you have to care about your MP...because MP is a scarce resource, you know, just like AF stacks. SCHs have a lot of skills oGCD with no MP cost, plus a different resource that allows them to use 3 very powerful skills every 60 seconds. As a consequence, SCHs have no MP issues, allowing them to use their spells more freely. It's a well thought system and it's very well balanced right now. Anyway SCH skills are not random. Think about your fairy skills being replaced by one single skill that triggers fey covenant...or illumination, or wind, caress, randomly, then you get the idea.

So.. not good in A1, good in A2, very good in A3.. I thought this was the definition of arguably better ?
Are you saying no just because you enjoy saying it? lol
