Thread: 3.4 Healer Rebalancing Thread

If you are going to quote me and nitpick a sentence, you should include the context on why I said such. "Better-than-Succor" shields implies post-3.3 buff, which is still something rather noteworthy. Adlo Spread isn't required to survive any mechanic in the game. I even mentioned the WHM/AST comp isn't even optimal.

Regardless of one's feelings on N.AST, the fact yoship has a desire to continue improving the job to allow it sit in the currently occupied SCH seat isn't something to ignore though. It's not in a very good place at the moment, competitively with what Scholar offers especially with under geared progression.

What I was trying to say is that it's less the buffs (which of course also played a role) than more the fact that we have readily available i230+ gear available now. I doubt very much that a lot of N.ASTs would've been able to clear A8s before 3.3 even if they would have had the buffs.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to see N.AST actually be viable, but this would require the devs to admit that N.AST has a fundamental design problem, and not just a few issues that can be fixed with a buff here and there. They have to step back and rethink the entire aspect of the job, because it won't ever work properly no matter how many buffs they throw at it.
