My math comes out to be at max 7 - 10% better in that department, seriously is that worth it over bringing the huge advantages an AST? I really don't think it is unless content is doing such extreme AoE damage overtime that its the only way to survive.

Statics should always have an AST in the group now probably with a SCH, WHM is more the emergency backup.
