The entire point of AST was dishing out those DPS buffs to other party members. The RNG in AST now will be (although smaller) collecting the 3 symbols needed to give another DPS buff.
I think you mean if a chair has four legs and a sofa has four legs, you sit on it. A DPS buff is a DPS buff rather it's direct damage or indirect damage like Crit Bonus and Haste Bonus. Now instead of a 3 in 6 chance to buff DPS every 30s, it has 100% chance to buff DPS every 30s. Not only is that bland, it's unbalanced.
