To me honestly, ASTs are WAY TOO DAMN POWERFUL. They have literally replaced WHM. And nearly replacing SCHs. Which is a stupid f'ed up move on SE's part. AST is a HYBRID JOB. It doesn't need ANY of these overpowered buffs that SE so does claim to think it needs to balance out the healer jobs. A hybrid, should stay a hybrid. And not take over the role of the master burst healer (WHM) nor the role of the master shielder (SCH). I understand that AST needed to be buffed to begin with, when no one was using it much (1 yr ago?). But, treading on a WHM's and a SCH's sole purpose is messed up af.
