Astrologian Needs Changes

[GideonHighmourn]

You just defined an estimation "based on real data."

Your friend is not reporting correctly. Assuming similar performance with each attempt, it is mathematically impossible for the raid to experience a 500 DPS increase simply because of the presence of AST rather than SCH.

This.

Unless one of your DPS is sporting 10k DPS; Balance is a 10% boost, with at most a 50% up time (discounting time Dilation, but still wouldn't make it near 100%) given it's drawn 100% of the time (which it's not). Even using Empowered Royal Road for 15% instead of 10%, you'd be halving your up time on Draws. Even with using Expanded Royal Road, you'd still lose out on a Draw.

Otherwise, it's statistically impossible for AST to add 500 DPS to a raid group through buffs.

Nice try though.

It's possible your friend meant his AST added (nearly) 500 DPS including buffs and his own DPS, which is possible. However, that would likely meant he spent 90% of his time in Cleric Stance, didn't heal, and drew Balance nearly every time; SCH could easily do the same, while still contributing Embrace ever 2.5s and Selene's haste buff with far less effort and RNG involved. Another DPS could also easily provide more, if that's the case where another healer was essentially solo healing the encounter.
