The person that seems to think AST is flawed because they believe there is no "bonus damage". Most jobs have something to increase damage, and that's what makes AST so unique. It is quite literally the Oprah of bonus damage. You get a card, you get a card, (pops divination) EVERYBODY GET'S A CARD!

To the point of the enrage timer and if me as a healer doesn't do damage we all wipe...this is pure non-sense for a AST. I'm doing damage all the time. Combust, Malefic. Usually spamming them, but to say cards aren't damage is just silly. Because they are. That dragoon is hitting 6% harder with my Balance card. Eat that enrage timer! Crap RNG was little rough...Here BLM take this lady card and enjoy 8% more DPS for 15s. *middle finger at enrage timer*

It's no different then Chain Strategem when you think about it. I personally think people just don't understand that EACH healer has something different, and each healer has a different way of DPSing. For AST it's the damage buff healer. If you ain't throwing cards....your just bringing the team down. And to argue about the new Lord and Lady?! It is literally FREE! Cost no MP, doesn't break seals, and literally benefits everyone. Toss out a Lord...some DPS, which helps kill boss faster. Toss out a Lady...some heals which allow WHM or SCH to DPS little more.
Cause you always have the one or more person that will always NEVER be satifisfied? I just dont even bother replying or paying attention to it no more am glad we got a stormblood feel back of lady and crown but with better potencies and now an aoe version, you have no idea how I love this, cant wait to be healing with ya friend when dc comes!!!!!, though ill be making sage my main now and ast my sub. Rip am ready to fully put away all my whms weapons lol, sch never too cared for that healer since day one so cant comment on them.
