AST’s heal kit is actually fun

[Zeastria]

It's a reason i throw out WHM the moment i learned AST

I love the depth that my healkit has; i can buff my heals based on the dmg output,
- Abilties to inc heal potency in both AOE Heals (Horoscope/Nautral Sect) and ST Heals (Synastry/Nautral Sect).

HOT stacking: we have 3x (heal over time) abilties, 3x delayed heals -
AST is quite strong healer for BIG w2w pulls; because we can just prep a lot of heals in advance
and forget the tank and just spam AoE on mobs.(while u throw out cards).

Note: Dont neglect your [Synastry] ability - its actually quite powerful..it just that many players uses it WRONG!
[Synastry]+[Aspected Benefic] on Tank - it will buff that HOT by 40%!.
It also buff the heal potency of your [Benefic II] by 40%..(while it's active on the target).

Macrocosmos's strenght is based on the dmg your party takes - (Mitigation hurt this ability a lot)
It's basically an 8-man version of Essential Dignity => It can heal 8 players from 1% up to 80% in one click.

I like it currently, so im kinda worried about the rework ngl

I wish Synastry worked with ogcds or something, as its a skill I never use, outside of low level dungeons, where the tank is on the squishy side.

As others mentioned above, it feels kinda unrewarding at times, as most co-healers I have, seems to have no faith in regen or delayed healing at all, but that's not really a problem with the job itself

Synastry doesn't affect the HoT of Aspected Benefic, only the up-front 250 potency heal. I believe there used to be a time when Synastry did affect the HoT, but I can't remember when Square patched it out. I think maybe when ShB launched?

I always assumed it did effect the HoT too, Because everytime i used it
=> I felt i had to heal tank less ( but i do refresh Aspected Benefic during it's duration).
But it also give a nice "safety net", since it does almost dobble your Benefic II.
( Have saved many tanks in low lvl (50+) dung ) :P
I see so many who never uses it.. its waste really, since it does make a difference
- More so on low lvl content when we dont have Celestial intersection or Exaltation.

( I hope they dont remove it in the rework )
