Not to mention macro cosmos, one of the downsides about shield healers is that their burst HPS isn't as good as pure healers but that isn't true for noct ast because of neutral sect. noct ast could solo heal any content with barely any difficulty cause you shield anything that needed to be shielded with collective then heal up an damage with Macro, Earthly star and any other ogcds they might have.

I'm not saying they can't have it back but if they do get it, something in their kit has got to give. White Mage only has 2 benefits over Ast, it's easier to play and faster to unlock. lets not kill the job even more than already is especially since ast got the light speed mega buff.
I'll be honest, all jobs need more options, because they're bland right now. AST and pretty much every other job. There is almost no way to distinguish them from one another. Sects was the way AST stood out, just like SCH's fairy choices and WHM's raw healing power and regen. SE needs to give back several elements they removed from jobs between ShB and now, because they haven't replaced those with anything decent.
