I suspect things will settle a little bit over the next week or two as you'll have a lot of AST mains pushing harder than normal to get a feel for these changes.

There is definitely no denying that it's a straight up DPS buff for AST though, I was struggling to compete with Valle yesterday and whilst it's fair to note that I was both carrying the healing and that he is certainly a better DPSer than I am, it was still rather surprising that he was 150dps ahead of me even on my best run and typically a fair bit more on the rest.

Fingers crossed SE notice this trend as well as it'd be a good excuse to have another look over a WHM's overall contribution.
