Do AST really need this Buff?

I hoped for balance for more then a year as i said. Why can't you, uh ?
AST always been great in good players hands even in 3.0, we litterally had to wait 3.2 to be decent compared WHM and 3.4 to compete with SCH.

It's alright, you just gonna need to wait until 4.2 patch'

Lol. AST should never be decent enough to replace a WHM. Or compete to replace a SCH. Your way of thinking about this is stupid. A hybrid job should never be as good as WHM/SCH. They have their Card System. That should be well enough to make them unique and being played about. Not treading on WHM/SCH jobs. Which SE thinks AST should replace both healer jobs. Considering how much buffs AST is getting.
