Hello,

I been thinking for a while now about AST and both it's sects. I enjoy both and always swap to the correct sect when my co-healer is either WHM or SCH. How about in 5.0 if they got rid of both sects and just made it so aspected benefic and helios will place both a shield and regen effect on the party. Now I know what you are thinking. "OMG that would make AST totally OP and will make the other healers not viable. Just hear me out a second.

When AST was first introduced they made it seem like it's regens wouldn't be as great as WHM and it's shields not as great as SCH. We are now in 4.41 and basically AST is the master of both. Let's be honest here. Sure WHM and SCH has some nice niche that makes them viable but AST can sort of out perform them both. What I am thinking is make those abilities apply both but at half potency. That way WHM reigns supreme over regens and SCH reigns supreme over shields. AST already has cards and so many other abilities that support the party. I don't believe this would make AST OP at all but what are you guys thoughts?
