Your objective, whenever you enter a fight in FF14, is "win the fight," not "heal lots of HP." If your goal is to heal HP, then optimal healer play would revolve around soaking up as much avoidable damage as possible, as opposed to avoiding it. You've got Lv80 jobs, so I think you understand that isn't the case.


"Win the fight" means reducing the enemies you're fighting to 0HP. The actions you take in a fight should guide your party towards this goal, and my deeps friends agree that giving them cards helps us win. Gonna have to agree with what others said and ask- what is it that you like about playing AST instead of other healers? If you don't like buffing damage, wouldn't WHM suit you better? They don't have any party damage buffs at all.
