Thread: 5.0 AST is a failure

It now changed to WHM > SCH. I've got to 74 so far with AST - I hate it. Honestly make me sad, because I loved AST.

These are my opinions but:
Card system is down right boring - I like many would rather have the old system back.
Our mana management was bad back in SB - to me, it even worse now.
Healing and throwing out DPS? Yeah, nope. Since most tank pull wall to wall, the dps isn't happening. Trying to keep up the tank health or dps standing in bad only allow for little to no dps at all.

I can't speak for most of the new skills since I'm only 74 at the moment, so I'll leave that for when I do get 80, if I ever do, been hard wanting to finish leveling it.

Either way, it'll get to 80 and will most liking sit collecting dust until SE fixes it or.... the next xpack -__-

It gets better with Horoscope and celestial intersection, but honestly... healing potency on the job is just bad currently.

Which just recently got out of a run where a dps took a shot at me for not dpsing but didn't once take notice that I was non-stop healing to keep the tank alive. We just kicked him but seriously, AST really frustrating at the moment.

I completely agree, the healing kit sucks currently. Frankly I dont know how the devs thought it was ok...... because its glaringly obvious how much more effort it takes to heal on AST compared to both other healers.
