Astrologian Weak? hmm...

[SakiKojiro]

I did BIS EX yesterday with a bad whm, and felt as though on my SCH I could have totally kept up with the healing on both tanks and carried the run. On AST the damage was just too much to keep up with when the other healer was slacking.

To be fair DPSes kept attacking the wrong targets, so...

AST doesnt have a pocket whm with superhuman reactions to help them extend their Cleric Stance time.

I'm all about the fairy, but let's be realistic: the girl is a little on the slow side without constant micromanagement :P

While this is all good and all.
This does not mean AST is with faults that need help.
The SCH/WHM could of done Ravana EX, much more easier.
It's still underpowered and all that stuff.
No ones trying to down that player but do note, it needs tweaks.

Not sure you know what efficient means. Ast would be more so because ast/sch can buff the pt and whm cannot. So if you have a capable ast, yes it is more efficient.

Depends on if the SCH has to cut down on their own DPS/swap to Eos instead of using Selene to cover AST's deficiency in raids. If either of those things have to occur, then buh-bye to that "AST buff efficiency" that you so love to go on about. (Assuming average luck on Draw, we're talking 5-6% DPS increase on a single target overall...on a SUPREMELY OPTIMAL DRG parse that's like an extra 70 DPS. I'm willing to bet that WHM's new dot and oGCD/MP-free Fluid Aura and Assize can easily do that much, WITH the added healing security to boot.)
