The absolute state of Frontlines

[Sigma860]

Mad respect for AST players in FL though, shit is actually really entertaining to play and I don't even like playing healers.

Aye, AST is super fun now. It makes up for its lack of raw healing power with its versatility. Definitely the hidden gem of 6.1 PVP.

AST isn't hidden, everyone knows it's overpowered as hell right now. I suppose it won't pad its stats on a scoreboard like WHM will, but it has a frankly absurd kit and the highest burst healing in the game. AST can dump 40k raw healing plus regen plus two shields into a single target in two GCDs and two oGCDs... WHM has the next-highest healing and has to hard cast a pair of 1.44s spells on 2.4s GCD to only reach 24k.

No one else comes even remotely close to AST in healing output, and AST isn't slacking in the damage department either (28k burst, all of it being AOE, and it includes heavy and bind, or 10k per typically every other 1.44s cast.) Then you add in the card buffs and Macrocosmos effect... yeah, AST's kind of broken right now. Has been ever since they increased Macrocosmos to 12k for some stupid reason, though I think its kit alone would still have made it a bit too strong even without the Macro buff. I suppose it's not King Turd of Shit Mountain in FL, though. That's probably WHM.
