Except when they do implement this, you will see even the
mighty shield healers in average majority *wink wink*... also complaining how hard to heal through those mech

Also geezz...quite a sentiment you have against regen healers there, don’t you think so?
Except everything you’ve mentioned here besides [Asylum] requires a non-dps GCD to execute

in fact, in those situations you’ve mentioned, you may not even need to go plenary med II because the AST can practically heal everything without losing personal DPS & you losing your glare casts or potentially clipping the cast (woops

)
Except (again..) shields will still be inferior.

SCH & Noct AST will still choose to Broil/Malefic than to shield as long as the encounter doesn’t warrant shield usage to survive. That’s just how majority of encounters in the game works.
Pretty soon too, you’ll see WHM & AST catfighting for who’s getting to heal.
I want my forum post medals! How about that!?
