Good thing about playing SCH and WHM is that I can actually take a time to Cleric Stance without dropping my target from the tank to use my Holy (or to cast a quick Shadowflare) and quickly switch back for an emergency heal. With AST it gets a bit complicated as you don't have anything as powerful as Tetra/Benediction or Lustrate x3. DPSing as an AST is a bit risky but it's rewarding, at least to me as I can DPS better as a WHM or SCH, makes sense though as they don't have all those buff.

    But I'd like to have some sort of high damage on Celestial Opposition since WHM have a 300 potency burst with assize, plus healing and maga regen on the same skill.
    With AST you have synastry>aspected benefic>swiftcast>Aspected helios>collective unconscious>time dilation on the hots. Nothing else is needed to ehal the tank whilst you gravity spam. The mobs will die before the hots wear off. Next pull is just aspected benefic+helios and gravity soam, but them you have essential dignity and lightspeed to help with the stance dancing healing. Pull after is same as first and so on. You also use LA and celestial opposition during these pulls when needed, and obviously celestial opposition stunns for enough time for more dps or more healing . Once you get this style of play down right, dpsing on AST becomes incredibly easy.

    As for slow on gravity, i am not sure it will be worth it on a spammable skill due to diminishing returns. Its works on shadowflare due to it being a placeable ground aoe.
