I don't see why it can't apply to the rest of AST's crossover with WHM and I don't see why we shouldn't be asking for those changes. Instead of having WHM or WHM but with cards why not have a regen healer? A pure regen healer. Your burst or on demand heals cost more, but your regens cost less in mana. That could be AST. That would be a completely different healing style. I'm all for it at this point.
Just to clarify, I'm actually agreeing with you, hence why I put "the essential kit" in quotation marks, because while it is true all healers need a bread and butter, aoe, and emergency buttons, the other actions I mentioned are spells and abilities that despite serving a similar purpose, aren't straight up copy-pastes of each other - AST can heal similarly to WHM, but has no reason to be WHM, but better.

I also would like it if AST is more regen oriented, I mean, technically it already is, just by virtue of having more regen spells than WHM, but I'd like it if they solidify that as its identity/niche, just to separate both jobs further.
