First time playing Astrologian... need some advice/tips

I highly doubt it. With six mobs, a single holy is 1050 potency. It's virtually impossible for balance to out pace that. Not to mention while you're chain-casting holy, you don't need to do any healing for the first 10 seconds or so, and the fact that you can't consistently draw balance.

Postnerf Holy is pretty trash in my opinion. I'll still take AST over WHM any day for any content though. I've never seen anyone complain about AST in 50 dungeons either until this thread.
