Please buff AST

Interestingly, the difference between Ranged and Melee in M10S is really small (I'm looking at 75th% currently). As you go up the %'s the gap gets wider, sure, but overall the disparity seems a lot less impactful on this 2target fight.

Then looking at all the other, singletarget focused fights, the gap reappears, and on M12S P1 (because it's shorter in duration) the gap's even wider.

Maybe SE needs to have more multitarget situations in raids, since Ranged seem to benefit more from them with their Job designs?

Once everyone is BIS, then we'll have to look at how AST's doing again. I expect it'll be the best on all fights except M10S, where WHM will barely eke out the top spot because of Misery. But since AST was present for week 1 clears (despite certain streamers saying 'don't take AST the damage is doodoo'), and indeed every Healer was in week 1 clears, I don't think how much damage A vs B is doing even matters

Yeah even these forums again had a waa waa raid exclusion about Summoners specifically this time, and PRanged in general. And what happened? All the week 1 groups had Summoners because as always it's the caster best to dodge mechanics with meanwhile the damage difference is entirely irrelevant as every time people pretend it'd be meaningful. And dead casters do the least DPS, hence everyone being on their Summoners.

I see that the free login period has brought back all sort of posts.
