Please buff AST

But it is.

Please note the bolded word that you appear to have skipped over/ignored for convenience:

The comment I replied to:

No you don't, why are you making up scenarios about content you don't do and saying that happens often? That doesn't happen, especially not in Ultimate where GCD healing is required

"That doesn't happen" is what I was replying to.

The "often" is anecdote, and will defend on any number of things (PF or Static, which kind of Static, which DC as they each have different raid scenes, etc)

It isn't in "tales from DF" since the people posting in there are doing so to badmouth "toxic casuals", not the opposite. That'd be like asking why conservative media isn't badmouthing Republicans or liberal media isn't badmouthing Democrats. The only time I've seen people kick a Healer for not GCD healing is when I died (Innocence swords someone ran through the party) and the other Healer LITERALLY cast Glare and no heal - not even oGCDs - on the Tank until the Tank died. Then the other Tank died. Then the DPS started dying. This Healer also didn't cast a Raise on literally anyone. Glare Glare Glare until they - last standing of the party - died. That's the only time I've ever seen a Healer kicked for "not healing", and it was so ridiculously egregious (as well as proving I was solo healing the entire encounter and all our pulls before then and including then), and that's also the only time I recall people talking bad about Healers focusing too much on damage.

On the other hand, I've seen complaints for years against Healers "healing too much" or "not using your damage spells" (and this not being me; I remember some DPS complaining about Healers not using DoTs back as far as HW four man dungeons - yes, content where it was completely irrelevant).

So it does HAPPEN - Nizzi is wrong - and it CAN happen OFTEN - your (snarky?) response and Nizzi both being wrong - depending on DC, community/scene you're in, etc.

"If it happens so often, why haven't I seen it...?"

Just because a thing happens often doesn't mean it happens to everyone. Few people (relative as part of the population) have experienced assault/harassment/etc, but it clearly happens "often" and to a lot of people. You not experiencing a thing != the thing does not happen often, and double != the thing doesn't happen at all (which was Nizzi's statement I replied to)

Anyway shouldn't this be about AST? - been going far off the original thread.

Agreed.

That...happens here.

A lot.

Alot a lot.
