How is it ok for an AST-WHM comparison to look like this:

Benefic 1/Benefic 2. Cure 1/Cure 2.

Aspected Benefic. Regen.

Helios. Medica.

Aspected Helios. Medica 2.

Celestial Intersection. Divine Bension.

Arguably I'll admit but it's still worth a mention: Essential Dignity. Benediction.

That is seven heals pretty much shared between the two of them. Espcially with Nocturnal Sect now being removed. There was 0 mention of these abilities being changed. And if they WERE to be changed from WHM they should've been mentioned. This is unacceptable for 2 healers to play that similar to one another. Cause guess what? Cards vs Lillies don't mean that much of a difference.

And also guess what? THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS MENTIONED ON THAT FIRST POST.
One could argue that they're just "the essential kit" for any healer to have, but there are ways to add stuff that do similar effects without them being copy-paste of each other, funnily enough:

Lightspeed. Presence of Mind
Neutral Sect. Temperance
Horoscope. Plenary Indulgence
Celestial Opposition. Assize

That said, AST also has extra skills like Earthly Star, Collective Unconscious and Synastry, that don't have any WHM equivalent, while WHM has the lily spells and Thin Air
