The positive Astrologian thread!

Can you people read? I said EXTENDED, not EXPANDED. I never said that getting the buff to the whole party as AST is better than using Selene. People bashing AST don't even know what their buffs do, it's pathetic. And you complain about me calling you dumb and dishonest. On top of that: Selene does not affect the DPS output of every single job in the same way. 0.08 less cast time on a SMN GCD does almost nothing for their damage; that on a MNK or BLM has more effect, so focusing a card can do more than using a weak buff on the party. in a fight like Faust, which is very short, the haste buff that Selene provides does nothing to my party, because there's no time for them to get the extra cast, which is basically the only reason to have a haste buff to begin with.

Fair enough, you did say extended, but that doesn't change things. It's the same as using two of the same card, and not a drop more. You still had to burn one draw to obtain that, and you're still up against the relevant RNG. That never changes, that's what's important to the raiding community at large.

It's funny you should call it bashing though. Folks here are discussing their legitimate concerns. If you don't like it, walk away. You aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by getting worked up over it. If you're cool with things as they are, great! Go forth and be merry!
