Do AST really need this Buff?

Do you really think the Meta might be AST/AST? Its looking a lot worse for SCH than I thought

AST in Noct Stance has instant cures...but they don't have a Fairy pumping out free 250 potency cures on top of things. SCH can also crit a 7k shield and then apply it to the entire raid, AST cannot.

Why does everyone jump to the fairy when they wanna say things like this, yes the fairy is an MP free HoT, but it can only be used on one person at a time, and has a range, its not connected to that person; and what happens with the new fairy skill once the player steps more than 10y away? but what a lot of people seem to forget is its not like we have the same kit as WHM or AST, our kit in timed gated heals and abilities that require strategy. The only AoE heal we can spam is Succor and that is only healing for 150 potency, and the cost is horrible. the only healing spell we can really cast is Physick, cause spamming Adlo is, well dumb in general, but it'll drain our MP, and we can only use Emergency Tactics every 30s; a lot can go wrong in less than 30s. The fairy, that everyone loves to point out we have, supplements our healing capabilities. Our Physick plus their Embrace acts like a Cure II/Benefic II. We never complained about MP costs because we understood why things were as they were, for Balance, We had great MP regeneration, so we needed higher spell costs. But now there is no balance, they lowered our regeneration and upped our MP costs. Thanks.

i totally agree with you, people never really understood how we had lower healing then the other two classes hence why our fairy was so important to us. it covers the healing margin that sch's need to be on par with the other healers. now with reduced embrace eos can't even do that for us anymore its sad also it seems like eos heals less frequently or im just imaging it because she barely heals for anything

It's funny cause SCH probably has the worst MP sustain of the game by a rather worring margin. I don't know if Chain Stratagem is going to be enough to keep it relevant, tbh.
