AST needs an extra instant cast damage spell

[Heilstos]

Wasn't Stella removed because it was trash? During HW I don't think there was ever any reason to use Stella outside inflicting Heavy. I suppose if AST had it now, even at it's awful 100 potency, they could still use it for weaving? Still pretty weak and terrible.

Hey VanilleFang,

Befor Patch 4.2 I had the same Idea with Stella as Instand cast. Like this :



On reddit an user wrote something about my idea:

At.. 2.5 GCD, Malefic 3 is 220/2.5 = 88 potency/s, animation lock I think is around.. 0.75 (I believe latency might affect the total animation lock though, double weaving the draw + something else feels pretty bad)

If you just clip your dot and cut the Malefic, over the course of 2 mins (where you could end up weaving 13 times in full offense, partly due to Redraw, and 3 EDs used), ends up with only needing at least 102.5 potency (at 0ms delay, value only drops from there, down to 94.11 at 80ms) on Stella to make it worth it. (150 potency is around a 3% dps increase or so, 137 is a 2% increase or so, 170 potency is a 4.44% increase or so)

From the user "AbyssArray"

Link: A small idea that would make playing AST a little more fluid.

So 100 DP is okay. If you want more to make it better than we can make it to 102,5 DP :P

I like to see that the Stella reborn wishes are there. I can understand Lin Kreiss. The Ast have much OGCDs and to less instands to compensate this card system.

And to Tanathya:

Give everyone else more insta-heals? There's balance for you.

In this case, nothing is wrong. If you ask why, I can explain it.^^

At Level 70 "Aspected Benefic" costs 1440 mana. If you compare this now with Helios, you will quickly notice that an instant spell costs exactly as much as an AoE heal.

You do not want to spam this heal, because you mess up your whole mana. SE made a great Job here, balance with Manacosts. -> Thanks to nocturnal shield Buff at the start from stormblood...
More shield = much more Manacosts :P
In the Time of HW "Aspected Benefic" cost 1/3 like it is now.
