No, you missed the point. My point was that Alexander Savage was designed with DPS checks as the barriers to progress. And so the healer that can output the most DPS will obviously be most sought after. WHM has the highest burst DPS, AST has the lowest but can buff others, and SCH has the best sustained DPS. As such the meta at the moment favours SCH more due to that. I wasn't saying that they made fights with only certain healers in mind, that would be rather silly.

For the record though, what skills exactly are ASTs lacking? Last time I checked they can fill the role of WHMs almost perfectly, and even SCHs. (Keep crying about Noct but it's still viable in the end game meta.)

Also, ASTs wanting absolutely everything on their job is getting a little tiring now. No one is 'better', people just need to learn to play with the job. A job being harder to play due to a lack of emergency CDs or whatever is NOT underpowered, it just requires you to be on the ball a bit more often. Not even MCHs, who have to bust their asses keeping on top of everything to get similar or sub-par DPS to BRDs, complain as much as ASTs. If anything, it ought to be WHMs complaining because ASTs are healing just as well while having buffing capabilities also.
