Regarding AST

[Ametrine]

I have a hard time with the idea of SCH outbuffing and outhealing healing AST with a Fey Wind/Chain as Fey Wind means Selene usage, and losing access to Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination, which is a steep cut to SCH's overall heal potency. Which is the entire point of Selene verses Eos.

AST, either stance, will never gut itself one way or the other like fairy choice does. You still have all the powerful heals, and still have access to the cards. (And said cards are far more forgiving between the Spear changes and Minor Arcana).

It's pretty balanced.

Also, might just be a stylistic choice, but Noct Aspected Benefic and Essential Dignity always felt like plenty for instant saves, further boosted by good Lightspeed usage, at least next to SCH who heavily relies on OGCD heals for most actions.
