So by that logic, I’m just guessing you were going BONKERS during 3-4.0 during the golden age of healers when Ast could tank 10 people, let alone 5. I’m not judging. If you got problems with the current ast (once again, referring exclusively to Crystal matches) hey, I feel for you. As Gnb myself, shadowing an ast I can easily get ‘em down to 50% myself. Even 1 assist, let alone 2 or 3 can burn em, so if you’re saying it’s such an issue, learn to focus. I understand the point you’re trying to make of individual job balance, but Ast just isn’t a problem. With the right tactic, likecANY other job currently, it can be effectively delt with. I have yet to see this ‘extreme survivability’ over anything that hasn’t been MUCH worse in times prior lololol.
Side note: I’m assuming your 30k damage is in reference to Macrocosmos? That’s. . .nothing blm, drg, smn, etc doesn’t have. Rule 101, don’t cluster in pvp. Again, not a problem.
