Nerf AST

One of the things that currently makes or break games even more than before the changes, is whether your team has a regen healer or not. Outside of baiting bursts, Guarding is usually used when you take damage and often get bursted, which means you usually end up at half HP or less once Guarded, and having a regen healer being able to top you off usually means that your chances to survive once the Guard drops go up through the roof, especially if it's an AST that can make you go from very low health back to full in an instant. Hell, even if your Guard is still on cooldown, a pocket healer will save your ass from a burst and will be the difference between a death or no death.

With that in mind, AST was already borderline OP on this before due to its double insta cast, which is legit insane and with those healing numbers idk why this is still even a thing, but they doubled down on the power at that. And then you also have macrocosmos which does similar things to the whole party.

50k aoe damage is broken. Idk however it got through QA and Testing. It is insane and SE should put a personal apology on lodestone from Yoshida and Japanese Prime Minister the next 6hrs for releasing it like that. That is the how much they got it wrong. Recuperate doing 10k to counter a 50k aoe damage, lololol. Perfect trolling from the devs. Just die and lose.

I think we should also get the UN and ICJ involved.

Seriously though, the main problem I have is the 5s duration of heavy when AST doublecasts it. That is a really long time in a mode that moves as fast as FL and in which there are so many enemies ready to smack you in the teeth.

AST can currently retain their Double Casted spell for 30 seconds, brace yourself for the Gravilogion and their mighty Triple Gravity combo.

Also bracing for the return of the Aether premades and their AST+ solution to the 7.1 meta.

I don't think wasting time and resources chasing a good AST around is gonna go smoothly most of the time. And again, the problem is that they offer way too much support, healing and kill potential to their party compared to anyone else.

Are you OK? no job is "unstoppable". I mean, it isn't as though Red Mages don't have instant- cast CC or shields, or heals- o, wait- they do.

Engaging with the active official forums population really is a headache, holy moly.

It's a re-contextualized well-known meme from the video game "League of Legends" about the champion K'sante. It ain't that serious. The fact you are nit-picking a meme critique over an obviously overpowered job is quite funny, though.
