Changelist for ast ^_^

[Parawill]

For this scenario yes. And my scenario isn't that one, is it?
Also you can't compare Synastry with Fey Illumination, the two buffs work differently.

The 20% works the same though, and that is what effects shield mitigation whereas the other effect of Synastry doesn't.

R.I.P White Mage

AST still has no form of off-GCD AoE Healing, thus they AoE heal in set intervals (even with Lightspeed) because that's how GCD works. If anything, this just balances between the three healers, especially since they pigeon holed themselves in this situation (prior to the release of 3.4 buffs) to a great mitigation healer + great HPS healer based off the requirements in this tier's savage. Next tier is open to discussion, but since it's not live yet, we'd just be speculating.

too bad they didnt add anything special for the Diurnal Sect :<
Noct got a decent boost

Celestial Opposition got buffed by doubling its effect. This is a direct buff to Diurnal.

Wish they did more for Nocturnal Sect to make it competitive with Diurnal but otherwise loving the changes. Bole being a tank CD for 30 seconds is huge, means it doesn't feel like a dead draw any longer.

Bole is still useless. No Tank will map his cooldowns with taking in mind he can or can not get a non reliable mitigation cooldown.

Useless ? You can make the mitigation skyrocket on a tank or on the group
It's so much heal you don't have to do and so much DPS you can squeeze before heal

Yep, nowadays the major cards for me are Arrow and Balance.
At 3.4, it will be Bole and Balance.
If you have a Bole, just give it to your main tank (because auto attack from boss still do a lot of damages) and go go DPS !

It's useless to plan around sure, but if you draw a bole it's now basically free DPS for 30 seconds.

EDIT: Or you can Spread it and save it for when the tank needs to use a cooldown.

I wish they made the job more interesting and unique... I probably will never pick up an AST unless they rework the job completely.

[Fjaere]

Im really resenting having to drop WHM now for AST that I dont like just to find a static for 3.4
