Ngl, the fact a pure healer gets a shield as a capstone is just mystifying to me. SE, you made that arbitrary distinction and yet with every second ability you erode it. What even is the point?

And yet we still Neutral Sect. Neutral to what? lol Why is an Arrow card HP regen? Or was it increased heal potency? Who cares. Chances are they'll make it worse next expansion anyway. Precious, precious balance and all that.

As an AST main since Stormblood I'm disappointed. And I didn't expect much in the first place. lol Healers are so unbelievably bad designed it boggles the mind. You'll be pressing the exact same two buttons from lvl 1ish to 100 apart from the odd trial and dungeon (unless you have a WAR).

How is this engaging?

I will say, though, that AST has the best particles this side of Tuliyollal. That's what drew me to the job back in HW (and the cards but... eh).
