I parsed with astro buffs on a dummy, it feels like spear is the best buff for smns during aoes although arrow during dwt is just awesome <3
sadly my highest parse with ast at i182 was around 1200 dps with screw ups, balance is awesome too especially with foes and battle voice, omg that damage burst is INSANE on the opener!
What do you get without AST, using Ifrit? I'm getting about 1050-1100 no party. Using 1P/2F opener, pot a GCD after Shadowflare. I'm thinking Ifrit's still the go to pet in 3.0 if Radiant Shield can do some work but gotta do more testing, cause I generally don't get the 1,100 people report while using Garuda, on a dummy, so I might be making a mistake here or there unknowingly.
