I should have been more specific here. What I really meant was, because of the card abilities, you have less space for "extras". No Virus, no Eye for an Eye, no Stoneskin. WHM has an instant group heal, as does SCH, without having to use a cooldown. WHM gets two large instant heals, SCH gets however many as stacks they have, whereas AST gets one. Does this make or break healing? Definitely not. It is just one of the things that makes AST a little different than the others, which people newer to healing may struggle with. It also allows less room for big errors in the group because you can't blow three stacks of Lustrate on the tank, etc.

This doesn't mean that AST is bad, needs revision, etc. Classes are different and not everyone will excel with AST.
