Balance was balanced

From an fflog perspective it is. By wounding balance you made the classes that were being fed balances 24/7 by 5 to 10% do less damage, thus shrinking the upper extreme. Spear cant be stacked with the balance, so you can't get the benefits together.

Whether ast can provide, on average higher dps boost uptime to average out to be better than balance is probably impossible. Every old balance was worth 2 new balances. Current spear is worth less than a balance unless its for healing.

I mean stacked in general. Not both on the same person same time, but when both abilities now always boost dps, the potential became too great. So you'd end up having fflogs with pure dps, pure dps - balance categories, but then how would they even do "dps - spear" since that's more hit or miss as to whether it contributed or not?

Basically over the course of a whole fight AST's dps boost got pushed up, so balance got pushed back down to compensate.

And spear wasn't exactly bad, it just required more coordination to make it effective.

Thanks for posting those screenshots.

People just overexagerate and blow things out of proportion. I don't understand all the still existant complaints after the adjustments. Hyperboling stuff like SE never having the intention to balance healers? Then what were the adjustments we just got for? Hyperboling AST being so OP that it makes whm/sch irrelevant. Please. Just say you want your cake and eat it too. Ast just got adjusted and they still have the nerve to keep nit picking. The more they complain, the more the cake thing is getting too obvious. :/

Astrologians hands down had a broken card. for the sole reason it was better than all the other cards. Astrologians were originally designed to have provide an array of Good/Great cards, not shuffling to find the god card. I'm with you with the definition of "Adjustment". Astrologian's Balance card was not "nerfed" it was adjusted to be realistic. 10% is already a huge buff for one player, for the whole party!? Now that's just Kaiba level cheating.
