Currently: 50 pot regen every 90 sec.
5.1: 100 pot regen every 60 sec.
Stormblood: 150 pot regen every 90 sec.

It's 3 times stronger than current CU and equal to Stormblood in terms of throughput. This is alot of free healing that will result in a dps increase.

AST + SCH might once again become the strongest combination.

I don't care about receiving more DPS so I can do as much as a SCH. Honestly feel like these changes are to make us turn a blind eye toward the lame card system they have implemented.
CU was garbage to begin with, with Celestial Opposition on a 60 second timer with 4 times the HoT it was valued more than it. AST is the party buff support of the three healers, giving it more "Raw" damage than actually making it unique is very uninspiring.
