Every problem with the current iteration of healers.

[Sabrenn]

AST needs another mp regeneration tool, if it has to res, it's in a pickle compared to the other two healers who have 3 tools to regen mana vs AST who only has 2.

There's too much time being spent in the party list giving out cards compared to how much they give to people. Also, if you mistime it you lose uptime and it feels meh, it's a very short window considering how many times a fight you have to do it. I think this is due to AST having short cast times, which are great, but with how many cards we give out now compared to one aoe card every now and then feels a bit clunky. I'd rather get fewer cards to give out that are more powerful instead of how many cards we keep throwing around constantly.

With the buff to "wrong card" distribution, it feels less worth it to hand in the correct card, so my point above is not as bad because you can just keep throwing your cards to the same 1/2 people but it shouldn't be like that. It should feel rewarding to give the right card to the right person. There's not much difference right now.

I do like the new celestial opposition, having access to instant aoe regen/shield is very cool and much needed.
Same goes for celestial intersection, very cool to have access to the opposite sect tool on ogcd.
i also really like the charge on essential dignity, very useful to have.

I don't understand why Neutral sect doesn't affect celestial opposition nor intersection. They're both aspected abilities and should receive the buff. WHM is able to buff all it's ogcd, why not ast? it's unfair in a ast/sch combo vs whm/sch. Sch can only do shields so they don't really have this issue because regardless of who they're paired with they will shield, but a diurnal ast cannot bring this buff to the party.

Which brings me to my next point, the collective unconscious bubble is too weak. If we're immobile, it doesn't regen/shield enough to last through a boss burst aoe phase, which makes it pointless to use in that way. So we all use it to flash the regen 15s, and 5sec shield. Why does the shield only last 5sec and not 15 like the regen? At least 10sec? Or, give it more potency while immobile. Right now there's no reason to stay immobile so it's kinda weird in my opinion.
What would be cool (in my opinion) would be to add a card/divination buff while people are in the bubble while ast is immobile to make up for the lost dps from being immobile. Or just make the shields stronger like they are for every other npc that uses the shield in the msq..........
