Same effects don't stack (Whitemage HoTs do stack...),so both AST having the HoT stance doesn't work. But the shield and the HoT do stack.
And with 2 AST in one group you have Essential Dignity twice as fast for single target burst damage and you have a greater chance to get raid-wide buffs. So it is not all bad with 2 AST in one group. I do wish that the HoTs would stack like the Whitemage HoTs do, but okay..

But do a pair of AST heal A4 while increasing group dps by 500 without extra mana support?
If so, then I need to have a chat with those AST to find out what they're doing differently.

Do you have logs or are you just pulling these numbers out of the air?
I'm thinking the latter because I believe you are;
a) Overestimating the DPS of WHM & SCH
b) Overestimating the DPS increase from selene
c) Underestimating the AST buffs (but yes, they do need changes, yoshi has said this himself)

Please look forward to it.

I play the sch, and its relatively easy to do 300 dps in A4. My whm partner, usually does around 200.
I don't use Selene, I find that our combined healer dps gain during with Eos is superior to Selene's boost to the group.
I can do the fight as AST, but I feel like my contribution is far less.

You don't think astro can do 200+ in A4? I can see why you stick to sch.

Experiencing and Seeing are two different concepts.

Most my Alex groups 1-4 are both astros, and we don't often need ballad unless there is a ton of stupid. I understand people thinking astro is weaker, but Jesus its not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.
