    AST is an absolute powerhouse in regards of healing... i would even say a nerf is in order in the healing department. The cards don't need a buff... they need a rework----- again, sigh. I thought SB cards are bad but then SHB and EW tought me SE can even F-up more... i know the old cards are not good but way better than this what we have now.
    I wouldnt nerf the healing, because a WHM can heal almost as much as AST..and their dmg is way higher..

    Genuine question:

    May I ask what are you basing your healing output comparison between WHM and AST on? What makes you think AST can heal more than WHM for example?

    I ask because I'm not aware of any content in the last few years where one has genuinely struggled with sheer healing throughput relative to the other. There are fights that have favoured one kit over another but that's generally been more of a mitigation or cooldown timer thing than HPS.

    Honestly, the last time I can think of where a healer genuinely fell short on HPS capabilities was ASTs progging Gordias in 3.0. It was pretty much tightrope walking start to finish, the second something went wrong, the AST was doomed to fall behind and had no real way to catch back up without the other healer bailing them out and importantly, having the resources and GCDs to do so without dropping the ball on their own responsibilities.

    Depends on the content you do, i don't do savage /ulitmates where the only healing abilites allowed are off-global ones
    I do normal content - aka casual content.. and here we're actually allowed to use our full toolkit..
    AST who knows how buff their heals and set up heals in advance, will do more HPS than WHM..
    (It's not a big gap..they're quite close in HPS)
