AST Weight

[YuiSasaki]

MND > Crit > DTR (or DET whichever abbreviation you prefer) = PIE > VIT > STR > DEX > every other stat > SpellSpeed..

At the current equipment level you can't stack spell speed high enough to make any significant differance in HoT ticks ( at least thats my opinion^^).

On a side note: No, I dont prefer STR, DEX over SpellSpeed, it's just an hyperbole. Just to prevent dem " OLOLOLOL LOOK DIS N4P HE GOING STR WITH HEAL"... xD

P.S.: havnt heard much positive resonance of DTR as well, apparently no good calculation. (At least @ 180 - might change later on).

I would think that over time Determination will become more valuable for AST. We're at comparatively low Mind/Weapon Damage values right now, which diminishes the strength of Determination, but given that AST doesn't have any specific mechanics that incentivize Crit (as say, SCHs and BRDs do), as we get higher base Mind and WD, Determination will probably overtake it. That hunch is based somewhat on assuming WHMs benefit most from stacking Determination as they always have though.

to be honest i would say that Det/ Spell speed > Crit due to these reasons

1) Spell speed increase our cast speed but also increase our DOT damage we have 3 dot in total they hit hard in cleric stance
2) DET increase our heals and our dot/hots
3) Crit..... it just crit only increase dmg/heals by 50% when they crit

i for one and going spell speed and det... i dont want to be too reliant on crits to heal....And those who r running into mp problems Stop using Luminiferous Aether at 80% + mp.... i gringe everytime i see an AST blow this skill @ near full mp i just want to slap them in the face and dont spam benefic II or using the procs.... if ur tank is takin a beating hes just a bad tank benefic and aspected benefit with aspected halios with Time Dilation with this ur tank is getting a 1k+ HoT + 2.7k+ benefits = 3.7k every 2 sec... if u pull BOLE put that on him first b4 using Time Dilation...... and if ur tank still taking a beating after this...... he is bad and not using cooldowns or pulled to much and expect u to baby sit him through the damage........ with this i can go DPS in cleric stance and not worry to much if my tank get low ill turn of cleric stance and use Essential Dignity renew my Hots and turn back to Cleric stance..... and if my dps is taking damage and my tank is below 60% ill throw in Synastry and heal my dps which would heal my tank also......i seen ALOT of bad AST when im leveling MCH or SMN majority dont use there cards and throw them on the wrong players or using there tool kit wrong
