Things I'm starting to hate on AST

Until you actually get out there and do the parses then you will see instead of magically downloading the power of astro buffs. You can computate the range off p possible cards being pulled but when dozens of parses over the course of a month adds the average of buffing my family in dungeons it shows a different light.

No one cares about the average you've obtained from parsing over a month. You are, hopefully, not doing the same fight for a month. What matters is the average DPS you've contributed through cards over the course of a fight, which can literally be 0 if luck hates you enough. The numbers you've expressed in the past and supposedly parsed are also numerically impossible so that doesn't help your case.

then post some of these parses and show us, show us how you are adding 400dps to drg or how your adding 150+ dps to your brother friend or whatevers machinist to the whole run, lots of people have posted concrete evidence, some of us have actually taken the job into all content that isnt just 4 man pushover dungeons and provided our testimonial ,all we have gotten from you is exagerations and meaningless drivel that leads a majority of people to think you are either completely and utterly ignorant or your just a really bad troll. Take it into savage finish A1 then tell us you feel that the job is worth a HEALER slot where HEALING is your main priority. Provide evidence to back your claims instead of hyperbole.

I have two questions.
1) Are you on some mind-altering substance right now?
and
2) Can I have some?

Vlady, the amount of mis-information you are spouting is insane. Just a quick look at lodestone shows you are basing all your metrics, information and performance claims come from having only played AST at 60, having never even played SCH and not having any experience as a 60 WHM either. It is categorically false to suggest an AST can output the same amount of healing as other classes, you literally only need to look at the abilities of the jobs side by side and it's painfully obvious.

I'm in Savage 2 myself right now and I cannot even begin to believe having myself playing AST in there instead of SCH would be anything but a massive hindrance to our chances of success. I truly would love to speak to these supposed double AST in Savage 2 and by luck I'm on Balmung so hit me up because I just do not see how even combined they can make up for the lost DPS I provide, let alone the mitigation, healing and buffs I can provide coupled with a WHM. Truly, I would LOVE to speak with them.
