On AST cards, AOE vs others

[Oohlalaheals]

This here tells me you still have a lot to learn about AST, as its a terrible terrible thing to do.

You are pressing a button that literally says it decreases you dps before you dps, like why?

Ooh lala, I would recommend against using light speed to dps when you spread balance/arrow. Light speed reduces the potency of dps skills but does not change the GCD at all. So you are actually losing dps from light speed and not really pumping them out faster.

I guess I did not realize this regarding Malefic II- I use gravity more frequently in dungeons so I did not give it enough thought, however, it is still worth using lightspeed to spam Gravity- in the 10 second window of lightspeed you can spam 4 Gravity's instead of only 3 in a normal 10 second window- those 4 gravity's even reduced at 25% are still (just slightly) more dps than 3 without lightspeed- but you have saved a ton of MP. If you aren't using lightspeed for anything else why would you not do it?

Edit: And regardless of this side topic about dps- on the original topic of spreading aoe buffs- they are still worth it because again, 50% less buff, but on 4X as many people
