Learning how to properly play AST

[DarkmoonVael]

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 .
