Learning how to properly play AST

[Nekotee]

Your card spread is done around the person you have on target
Or around you if you're targeting a monster or nothing

I saw that a lot during on Alexander 1 NM
People running on a side and not going under your bubble...
I even had a ninja who argue that it will be bad and that he prefer running in the mini puddle rather than my bubble...
I was so confused... That I forgot to heal him *evil grin*

Do you know if it's 15y? Or is it one of those crazy 6y? I feel like it's almost 6 since I can do Asp. Helios and usually hit all but maybe the tank if he's just out of range. But seems like royal road expanded is more narrow.

I do agree and disagree on one point XD
I'm more than with you about the DPS, AST do not have tool for that when SCH is king

But no, AST have great healing tool and do as much if not more than SCH and WHM at equal power

I do the same as you both AST and SCH for the savage, and AST is a master for A1S when SCH is perfect for the next one

...

But I follow you about damage... The only way for an AST to do a medium DPS is to burn his mana... When SCH just yawn and it's done...

Lustrate, emergency tact, and indom is all a scholar needs to outdo an ast in throughput.

White mage, it's not even a competition.

But yeah, thanks for listening to my rant.

So many things wrong with this statement.

And you wonder why no one takes you seriously. Get outta here.

It's 15y radius from target. If you forget, you can Draw->Spire/Ewer->Royal Road->Draw->AnyCard and look at the tooltip for Draw(as a drawn card).

He doesn't care about your opinion. So your statement is wrong.
Btw, except few person, you are like Vlady, you throws "fact" and expect people to agree with you.

The first sign of not being able to articulate yourself properly is to start slinging mud at whom you argue against. Instead of a mindless dribble I have to read about how subjugated the astro is against our superior overlords someone tell me what makes the white mage so much stronger then the astro.

Stop being stupid and ill gladly lay off.

And no I don't care if not a single person agrees with me. I do care about people's view who puts out a well thought out proposal and not a knee jerk reaction that is not merited. Last thing I want to see is one job overwhelmingly cause other two to be benched. The astrologian blows the white mage away on healing now because for some wierd reason the astro had to be as good at healing as the white mage and now people want the same treatment for competing with scholars..

You really are the last person to be telling others to stop with the knee jerk reactions. Anyone just has to look at your forum history to see why.

WHM still has a slight advantage over AST with the current meta of one solo healer + one SCH. WHM has slightly more of a throughput in terms of healing with divine seal (lower cooldown and higher healing increase than synystry) and 3 oGCD heals, one which is aoe and restores mana as well. However, AST brings buffs to the party that WHM doesn't, which are tied to a little too much RNG still. Currently in savage WHM edges AST out due to the healing requirements with solo heal + SCH. This may all change with the next raid patch.

As for OP, use diurnal, once. Atank has pulled, used synystry on tank, aspected benefic, aspected helios, collective unconsciousness once all regens are up time dialtion on them, giggle maniacally at the regen power, cleric stance, lots of gravity. Get used to using essential dignity as its a really nice healing ability on a short cooldown. Try and draw card cooldown to cooldown and see what you can do with them and have fun .
