You claim Holminster Switch isn't a good reference point except... it is. The mobs there aren't nerfed into the ground. This, in turn, makes huge pulls much harder on AST than any level 60 dungeon. My BFF, having recently leveled AST had no issues whatsoever with the old content regardless of small pulls or wall to wall mega pulls. With the 70+ dungeons, she was struggling on MP mightily. Why? Because like I said, those mobs aren't a complete laughing stock.



Except... they don't. AST struggles so much right now that weaving in Gravities outside of Lightspeed can easily get the tank killed if they do giant pulls. WHM does not have this problem whatsoever nor does SCH. That is the fundamental issue people have beyond how boring AST has become. It simply cannot heal like the other two while also having all its utility significantly reduced. I would like to believe the devs will address this quickly but DRK, WHM and MCH waited the entirety of Stormblood before their needs were addressed. Forgive me if I lack faith AST will see immediate attention by 4.05.
As Ast main healing as Ast in current content is a all out headache depending on the dungeon. I am i423 ran the Twining with my FC tank...the word painful does not describe how my healing felt in there.
