Learning how to properly play AST

[NamoNanamo]

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.

Well, Whm has assize, it's great, it can heal or Damage. But remember that Ast got a mana reduction on his healing spell (except for Aspected benefic that cost more). 353 mana for "Benefic" vs"442" for cure (ex. You can see that all the spell got lower mana. Gravity is cheaper too

And about Synastry, you maybe get an 10 % less increase than ds but the spell is stronger than Divine seal. 40% of original spell within 20 sec for the one that got synastry. You can't beat that.

Whm is easier to play when you get content with heavy aoe.
A1s, Medica2 and his range. Medica II is enough to keep everybody alive.
a3s, Medica2, asylum, Assyze, Cure III. So it's much easier than Ast. Unless if you lack of dps, Ast can help.

But for A2s. No aoe, in term of healing, you can really shine with ast. Synastry is strong and he allows you to solo heal with ease.


Use gravity on the guys with the highest Hp, cause if he die before the cast, you lost the spell

Yeah synastry really shines in single target/double target healing. I love the fact they changed the old version of synastry, which was very very weak, to this version.

With a2s i think whm vs ast is all down to group preferance more than anything now. AST can bring some useful healing cooldowns and gravity, whilst whm can bring more dps in the earlier waves.

Kind of makes you wonder if in the next raid tier they make healing checks slightly lower will the meta change firmly to sch/ast as raid healers?

But anyway, i fear we are derailing the original topic a little.
