Done with AST

[Geardagas]

It's bad, and I was expecting changes, but the 3.05 changes weren't nearly good enough. I'm only 58 and looking at giving up because the writing is on the wall.

The reason is that our support simply isn't good enough to justify the laughably lower healing output.

Spire and Ewer - both completely and utterly useless before - are now just slightly less useless and still nothing but RR targets. Spear is still about 1/30th as useful as arrow, and it's still just a RR target. The only true buff we received was the lower shuffle recast, but that still doesn't solve the major issue of shuffling spire into spire, and it certainly doesn't make up for the spread nerf.

The absolute best thing an AST could do for support was hit every dps and tank with an expanded balance or arrow, and that was just nerfed into oblivion. Therefore, i have no problem saying that AST got even worse in 3.05 and there's no point in being one when WHM and SCH exist.

Please tell me how expanded balance/arrow got nurfed.

Soooo do you even play AST or are you just talking out of your ass? What spread nerf? Spread was changed and is now even more useful. What nerf to expanded balance and arrow? They weren't nerfed, they weren't even changed.
