Well, I know that Whms are supposed to be able to pull more heals than astro... But I don't see it often >.>

That is grotesque overhealing as a diurnal ast. That is not even realistic.

It looks like its 8v8 as well. With a tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn of over healing. :l

:| 'cept it wasn't overhealing. most matches have whms in there doing over 700k. I had to heal more since the whm was healing less.

My win ratio in 8v8 pvp is 72.2%, so Ima keep doing what I am doing XD



I do more heals than whms in 4v4 as well.

Any time you are playing a class that uses AOE HoTs, the majority of your healing will be overhealing. Also, I'm sorry, but 8v8 doesn't matter. Also, the reason you outheal WHMs is probably because lots of their GCDs are spent on casting sleep, where as yours are not. Also also, as a healer main, who plays AST and WHM equally, I can say that if you have 575k healing done in a 4v4, you are overhealing immensely. Another thing I noticed in both your SS's is that you are posting one sided matches where you team is winning by a landslide. How about you post a match where you are under more pressure?

Okay, I will :|




Note how I did around the same amount of heals, even though I died twice this match. And note how every person on my team did less dps than the other team, and we still won But that could be down to better timing of bursts. Astros don't have the CC's that whm does, and we don't have a 40% damage reduction bubble that we can use as effectively as whms do, so ofcourse astros have to do more overall healing than whms. To compensate.

I eagerly await your response as to how my heals are grotesque in this match.

Thanks! This was probably a pretty tough match to heal, as the enemy team definitely did more damage. However, I would still like to point out that even though your healing was higher than the other AST, it is most likely because they were Nocturnal Sect. If you double that number, that's about what they were effectively doing, and since it's shield instead of HoTs, there is very little overhealing done by a Noct AST.

I'd also like to clarify, this is not me saying you are a bad player, or that Diurnal AST is bad (I love it vs. some comps), just that the "healing done" number at the end of the game does not really sum up your contribution to the fight. CC, shielding, and proper positioning (to reduce incoming damage, therefore requiring less outgoing healing) is equally as important as the amount of healing done.
