WHM Main trying AST for static. Help?

Earthly star laughs at any other heal in the game if used correctly.
Make sure you're using Draw on cooldown.
Lightspeed is amazing during mechanics. ED now reduces lightspeed's CD, so make sure to use that very often.

I'm not sure how people say brute force your way through mechanics though on WHM. AST does this better if played correctly, as currently on O3S you have to have 32k+ health to survive the 32k hits (obviously), but we've been surviving on 30k health thanks to the AST shields.

I did run O1S-O3S on my WHM, but swapped over to AST now, and once you get used to it, it does feel very satisfying.

So you think that AST shields shield you for 30k? You must have found a way to double your potency

WHM is just raw power healing. It is super satisfying but less busy than AST.

AST is a very busy healer, which is actually why I like it cause I don't get bored on it. Diurnal AST is for the most part the same as WHM. You can have your AoE regen and your single target regen stacked and that is awesome.

Noct AST is a different character. However, you will see people saying "know when to place shields," but I live by the moto "why not just always have a shield on people if MP allows." There isn't any real reason not to always refresh shields.

No but the shields avoids to get insta killed by those mechanics by adding something like 6/7k HP, ofc and SCH can do it too, is its just about Shielding on that phase.

I don't think that is what was meant. I took the statement to mean you can survive the 32k hits with proper use of the Ast shields at only 30k health compared needing 32k+ base hp to survive without the shields.

Yep, O3S throws 25-30k aoes at you alongside other mechanics pretty much repeatedly. As you get further into the fight, the aoes get more frequent and the mechanics get more erratic and complex. I'm almost relieved we wasted a bunch of time on it tbh. O4S is utter madness by comparison
