Astrologian buffs confirmed

It is. I'm just trying to indicate to you that by increasing everyone's DPS by 1.5% does NOT increase the raid DPS by 12% like you have incorrectly stated. It only increases raid DPS by 1.5%.

If you're going to try to argue math, please at least use the right terminology and methodology ^^;

You're right to correct me, but I'm dumbing it down in order to demonstrate that an 11% buff to one player isn't an 11% buff to the entire raid, because otherwise someone will see 11% and 1.5% and jump to conclusions.

A 1.5% increase to all players is the same value as a 12% increase to one person (assuming everyone is DPSing at the time), except that, as was mentioned by a DRG earlier, DPS don't want haste because it just makes them burn through their TP faster (maybe BLMs do, but I've heard that they have a pretty strict rhythm as to how and when they want to cast everything).

The damage increase of Balance is superior because it does 10% more damage flat out without speeding the consumption of resources.

I just really don't want anyone popping up and saying, "Wait, so this means AST is good after all and doesn't need buffs?! Yay!"

Synastry is a realistic 50% healing increase on 2 tank fights (almost all of them) making it one of the best healing cds currently in the game.
Considering the amount of overhealing for whitemage, healing 5 % faster for 5 % less is a buff.
MP is only an issue for bad healers of any class (and has been since 2.0).

We are clearly not a SCH replacement, hell 2 SCH might be ideal for many fights. But easily a better whm for any real progression.

If you can't see that your not even in the game.

What can be said in response to this except...
