Essntial dignity is OP. Scales inversely with target HP, making you the brinkmanship of healers.

Remember to switch on your sects.

Card will still screw you over big time when they want to.

Diurnal sect>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nocturnal sect for 4 man. Dont ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use nocturnal sect when paired with a scholar.

Until lvl 50 AST is a stupidly powerful healer. Its healing drops off post 50 compared to the other two healer due to only getting one additional healing ability post 50.

If this is going to be your first healing class, try out cnj first. If its isnt, its all good .

Diurnal AST plays a lot like whm up to lvl 50. Once you start getting all the post 50 abilities, healing as AST starts feeling more unique.

Use and abuse synestry. Put it on your tank to increase throughput on them by a huge amount.

Other than that, levelling an AST to 50 is pretty much the same as any other healers.
