This is a Deployment Tactics topic.

Yes, Ast has a 720 potency heal but, deployment tactic put shields.
So having a 650 aoe heal + shield is too much.
That's why with a reduced potency, it could be good.

Agreed. And to add... 300 potency shield + 650 AoE heal that procs sub 50% HP for a total of 950 effective "healing." The 300 potency shield can be further boosted with internal sources:

- Largesse at 20%+
- Fey Illumination at 10%+

External sources:

- Defiance at 20%+
- Convalescence 20%+

Honestly I think we're forgetting how powerful Deployment Tactics is, especially when interacting with player's abilities. While it's rare for groups to resort to these kind of tactics if they care not for optimisation and progression in savage tiers (at minimum iLvL), we need to consider how things are not by themselves but in tandem with other players, abilities and even mechanics.

Also bare in mind that if this suggestion became a reality it shifts the priority order to Adlo -> Excog -> Deploy, which will work in our favour so that Deployment Tactics will actually acknowledge Galvanize applying; however, if Adloquium Crits, the player only has a split second to figure out whether or not to apply Excog or not because most of the time, critlo will shield a majority of the damage incoming.
