Some idea about AST sect swapping

[RiceisNice]

AST has Collective Unconsciousness which is 750 Potency of healing after 15s on oGCD. It's not an instant heal but it's a LOT of power. It does what Assize does in 6-9 seconds and Indomitability in 9-12 seconds and provides raid mitigation. Same cooldown as Assize too.

The healing over time is what makes it less versatile than assize or indom, though, especially in the content we're given. On a side note, are regen potencies snap shotted based on the target's buff/debuffs, or changed real time?

Is there a reason why you feel this way? From an absolute pure heal standpoint, all AST cures cost at least 10% less MP for the exact same/similar potency when compared to SCH/WHM counterparts (in the case of Benefic, it's 20% cheaper than Physick/Cure)

AST has very few tools with managing their own mana from what I've seen. Assize regenerates 10% of the WHM's mana on top of having free cure, and scholar gets aetherflow and some rather ludicrious oGCD, mp-free heals. As an AST, Ewer need to inSpire yourself to not get terriBole draws to buff up your own mana regen, but that means you're losing the Balance of your card buffs because that's draw cooldowns being used for regen rather than expanded royal road, so you won't be Spearheading as much dps buffs.
