I really hope 3.25 has ast shield nerf. (4v4)

^^ or bads that didn't get the other DPS to help them burn down the healer, an got stomped out. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't make god like, just means you need to get good at killing or at communicating through signs on who you should fight.

If you dont wanna put a cast time on the shield then make it cost twice as much mana as it does now to avoid them abusing it. If they want to then they will soon find themselves losing more mp then they can recover allowing us to kill that way.

This already happens.

Some people will pry come in here and say its fine or I just need to "get gud" (but its about whole teams that cant penetrate the shields). I say my rant is more insightful look at balance while others will just say im crying for cryings sake. We'll agree to disagree.

Your "insight" is poor and comes from a place of ignorance to how the three healers play. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. AST's strength is its mobility, ability to heal under pressure and ease of play.

Curious to read more opinions about that, as I personally feel Nocturnal AST is the worst of the 4 healers (if we divide AST in 2). The nerf was so bad I feel if the dmg is good or dots start being spread out the AST just can't keep up.

People don't get this. AST is terrible at healing multiple targets. So long as damage is spread or they are CC'd AST comps crumble very quickly.

The shields are not OP, the only thing that might make AST OP is rolling the right cards at the right time and using them perfectly. Other than that. WHM is the best. But not all classes need the be exactly the same strength. They all just need to be viable. Right now I think DRK is the only class that doesn't need to be picked unless you have some personal love for it. I for one hate noct because it does crumble through split pressure when you really need it to work lol.

On Diurnal Sect. I have an easier time keeping the party alive and a 9 stack tank alive if they play correctly long enough to hold a win. On noct. Nah they just spit dps and my head explodes. I wish AST could switch stances in battle :P

I'm not asking for it. Just dreaming ^^
/poke <se.team> lmao muahahahaaaa.

I wouldn't say people don't get it in general as I find many ppl in my solo 4 v 4 already know the deal when it comes to handling Noct ast. It's just some people are slower learners than others I guess.
