Seriously though, appreciate that both jobs are massively overpowered when played at a halfway decent level in all mainstream content. EX Primals and the 24 only really test your ability to handle mechanics, they rarely if ever push your ability to actually throw out healing. The same could even be said of much of Savage tbh.

The differences (and issues) between WHM and AST relate more to how they fit into the end game in it's current form. Both have their strengths, both have their issues, but there's no denying that right now. AST is the stronger job of the two at the end game.

If your end game consists of 24 mans and Primals, then just play whatever you enjoy TBH and leave this discussion to those that it actually impacts. WHM is absolutely fine in casual pug play and I for one actively prefer it for the current primal and 25 man even if Stone's cast time and all the clipping burns me.

I'd chime in on the utility card thing but yeah, that's been covered better than I could say it. The current battle system revolves entirely around damage now. I'm hoping this Baldesion Arsenal thing is an effort to look at tackling that.
