LD on CD works perfectly fine. The problem is when you need to heal more than what you are used to, either because it's an 8-man instance or because people choose to ignore incoming damage or because it was an accident. And while I do agree that all healers would need to deal with these situations, what I'm trying to convey is that other jobs can do it more easily than others. And yes, I know it also costs something but that something is not MP (Indomitability - Assize / Lustrate - Tetragrammaton or Afflatus which, by the way, both have the same potency, one is 3 charges if you have the Lilies and the other one is Lily-free but on a 60s CD and us ASTs get a Lv60 spell that has a 100 potency spell and THAT begs the question: Why?).

At the end of the day other jobs get abilities/spells that help them heal at the expense of no mana AND also have more MP Regenerative spells whilst ASTs only have one and fewer spells/abilities to cope with damage that easily.
