(unless you plan to ONLY use Essential Dignity when your tank is down to 5hp which is likely what it'd take for it to reach the 700 potency of AS)

And whats not to like about being able to spam Cure 2 and/or Cure 3 freely, for 0 mana-cost 5 times while granting Confession to everyone if you use Cure 3 instead of Cure 2? If an Astro tried using their best heals 5 times in a row they'd be starved for mana.

Continue to try to defend the fact that the one and only reason you 'like' the Astro change is because you want the Direct Damage buff it has. Nothing else. The Damage buff. A buff you can get with a food item that last 60 full minutes and persists beyond deaths.
3 GCD heals to charge a 900 potency attack. Those same three GCDs could be spent on Glare for a total of 900 potency, you then spend an extra GCD to cast Misery. So 900 potency out of 4 GCDs, or 1200 out of 4 Glares.

Astros best heals aren't on the GCD, why is it so hard for you to understand? There are very few, if any cases to ever warrant spamming Helios/Medica 4 or 5 times in succession that can't be handled with a single Earthly Star/Collective, even the Savage soft enrages don't need that amount of raw GCD healing.

Regarding Solace, that's basically Tetragrammaton on the GCD, not better than Essential Dignity at all, lol.
