    Don't bother saying
    "But balance is hard to get and is rng"
    Cuz I can have a aoe balance up almost a entire primal fight

    I killed lakshimi in a pug CLEAR group for a friend and we killed lakshimi before we got lb3. I had aoe balance up the entire fight but adds cuz I was like meh i don't think you need buffs for this.

    Now yes aoe balance dose have SOME down time but not much
    You had what we Astros like to call "luck." There are 6 cards in the deck. (all calculations account for Redraw)

    Probability of Drawing Balance: 11/30
    Probability of Drawing RR Effect: 11/15

    Probability of getting both a Balance AND RR Effect each minute: 121/450

    This isn't including Sleeve Draw.

    With Sleeve Draw: 8/15 every 2 minutes JUST to get a Balance (includes Redraw). This isn't including getting the AoE RR effect at the same time, or perhaps by RR the new Draw card. While it's completely possible to have Balance up for any large portion of the fight, it's highly improbable. I usually get lucky with three, maybe 4.

    Getting Balance is random... in some dungeons I can draw three back-to-back, while others, I get Spear/Spire back-to-back. I won't argue the advantages and disadvantages of bringing an Astro, or those of bringing a White Mage because they'll fall on deaf ears. However, the cards drawn are COMPLETELY random, regardless of which method we use to obtain the cards. We have roughly a 27% chance each minute to acquire the cards we need to provide this "insanely OP" buff to the group each minute.

    The HPS White Mages bring to the table, combined with their MP reservoir makes them a formidable healer.
