It seems AST isn't unpopular due to power, but more to gameplay and the changes, so that should really be their main focus.

I'd like to see them address ScH's pet and WhM's weaving first, but for some reason it's buffing and reworking the top healer in the wrong way. It's a bad sign if they're still this out of touch after all these months of feedback.

Shouldn't we want all healers to be like that though? Seems unfair to not want flawless performance ability from a job.

That's what they're doing. Sleeve draw is a pain in terms of gameplay and they're changing it. Though I dislike the minor arcana "fix" even more because if you'd gotten around the targeting with macros, the minor arcana/play mashup brings back the original issue.

And the mana "buff" is because it's the only healer that requires more piety than the others. Like I said in the post above, it's the only healer that only has one source of mana regeneration (apart from lucid). You could argue that it's a trade-off because it can perform so well but it never had this issue before. I think it's a weird nerf and I'm glad they're working to fix it.

Absolutely AST is unpopular due to gameplay. They've destroyed the comfortable home that many many ASTs had built and gotten used to over the years and transformed it into a camping tent. Some people like the camping tent, and that's fine. But some of us want our home back.


I think we should all want ALL healers to be able to perform flawlessly. I absolutely want SCH to not be clunky, and I would love WHM to be able to hold its own against a sch/ast team. That's what the "balancing" should've been about.
