Astrologian Needs Changes

Only reporting back what the SCH was telling me and believe me he wasn't happy about it. However the 500 may be a bit of an exaggeration as he tends to be that type, but he wouldn't replace himself unless he thought that he was under performing in comparison to the AST

Even if the AST were lucky enough to draw Balance every time through the entire fight, you're only looking at (MAYBE) 45DPS~ average increase over the entire fight AT MOST, on a SINGLE TARGET; remember, it doesn't have a 100% up time, and is reliant entirely on RNG, so actually drawing it every time is incredibly unlikely, and even if you do, you'll still spend around 50% of the fight without the Balance buff running. Combined with the two DoTs AST has, which may be 150DPS~. SCH can easily put out more than that with Selene and their own DoTs, on average. I'm averaging 300DPS on SCH alone from DoTs during Bismark EX, not including what Selene adds to the group every 60 seconds.

Your friend is grossly overestimating what AST is capable of adding in terms of DPS with their buffs, period.

How does exactly a 17% chance to add a single target 10% damage buff and another 17% chance to add a single target 10% attack speed buff that last 15 seconds every 30 seconds add more party damage than a 100% chance to add a party 3% attack speed buff for the next 30 seconds every 60 seconds? Not even accounting the fact SCH has a fairy and can handle DPSing under cleric far better than AST. Your friend either lies, relies on biased data or is not a very smart theorycrafter.
