Need some help in finding useful parsing comparisons for AST...

This would be very difficult to parse because you need a base line level without buffs then another with buffs to even begin to decide how much of a boost cards are bringing to the table. As far as base line dps spells we are in line with WHM give or take a spell or two. Malefic II is almost equal to Stone II, Combust II is a little better than Aero III, and Gravity is on par with Holy.

I too am worried about accuracy and how it'll affect healers. I thought I remembered reading that SE WANTED healers to DPS when they had the chance (which beats standing there doing nothing).

Also, SCH can get 4 DoTs because they can also get Aero from CNJ. Their DPS is pretty amazing just with swapping into CS, dotting up then switching back to heal.

I do remember about a year ago Yoshi-P said he felt healers role should be healing and not worrying about dps numbers. In another interview he basically says though he doesn't design content that require healers to dps but doesn't want to nerf dpsing out of the healers game style either: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ount-for-raids
