    No, AST.... And in fact Healer as whole doesn't need RNG.
    It's like going to a doctor that will randomly give you a drug.... It's just plain and simple moronic.

    Healer must be the most stable job of all, and RNg is not what i call stable...

    And you know what it's funny? it that you will tell people to never use Cure I and BeneficI because the RNG on the proc is crap (and the MP cost VS Heal is not good), but RNG on cards if fine....

    Seriously, make your mind.

    Yes because AST before ShB was designed around not needing the cards, they were added bonuses you played around and tried to maximise your output from a limited set of solutions. It’s like going to the doctor and having them try to maximise how much you enjoy the lolly they give after your checkup, it fundamentally doesn’t matter to the core check up but it’s fun to try to maximise enjoyment

    You drew spire? Hmmm does anyone need TP? Nope nobody has made a mistake recently, TP is healthy. Hmm if I burn spire what benefit does royal road offer me? Double duration. Hmm there is no card that would really benefit from double duration given the current state of everyone’s stats so I guess I’ll redraw it.

    That was how you played with RNG on old AST without actually locking you out of core functions, you never “relied” on any card to help you survive what would otherwise kill you, you maximised your output on what was ultimately a set of options that didn’t truly “matter”, it’s why when they made all the cards damage in ShB it didn’t affect AST’s healing output, because you didn’t need the cards to help your healing, the point was to maximise a set of fundamentally not needed options

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    I have made my mind. The RNG on Cure I/Benefic I has nothing to do with the class's/job's identity.

    On the other hand, RNG with AST's card's is everything, is it not? "We may accept this fate. Or defy it. But we cannot deny it."
