How come AST cards dont heal the Target?

As Astrologian is supposed to be the Buff healer it doesn't heal much.

It has the basic heal set up but not much OGCD. Its main thing is the cards but its weird that the cards from the healer don't HEAL.

The royal roaded buffed cards could be real nice like Enchanced does big heal, Extended does a regen, and Spread does a bit of both.

It would help alot with the mp issues

personally i think it would be too much... Ast got several instant heals and even instant heals with buffeffect (shield or regen)... giving the cards a heal bonus, would make them way to strong in my opinion...

Eh, nice in theory but RNG would make this so unreliable and if our buffs are being used for Regens and boosts (which our spells and abilities already do) why bother having all the different types of cards? Would you still be using them for PT buffs? If no buffs then AST needs more dps spells to make up the loss in support. You'd have to overhaul the entire class and frankly, I'm not sold on the idea.

I bet this will come within time.

LvL 62 Ast. - Throw - Throws the active card on your target. If it is friendly you heal it for 100 potency. If it is hostile deal 100 potency damage. Does not apply royal road.

Most propably extended with different cards having different sideeffects (dispell, hot, movement up // slow, heavy, dot).

Honestly more often then not you would just be over healing people at full health anyway.

Better to Overheal then under.

The cards still give a buff just a low potency heal or regen too

Yeah but they only have 1 off GCD heal while WHM and SCH have 3

What's next? Why doesn't our gravity AoE heal the group?

Why do people think AST is weak?

Well I'll just answer your simple question, it's not really needed. AST has a good healing tool kit already with blunt heals, HoT heals/Shield heals, and AoE Regen/barrier.

What's next? Why doesn't our gravity AoE heal the group?

No but I would love love love to have a slow effect added and would be in heaven if it was lv.50. I'm a dreamer.

It was more of a facepalm response than a serious one. Slow on gravity would kind of make sense. Or rather, the "heavy" effect because, you know, gravity. Even if it's added value is really niche and not really useful as opposed to stuns. Although slow and heavy are two different things.
