Well Vlady, in your particular case you have made claim after claim about AST proficiencies and right now all of these claims have continued to be baseless because of your lack of evidence. If you're as confident as you are in your claims, give us:

Your parses
Your record keeping methodology
Your screenshots of these claims

So that we, as the healer community, can verify and either agree or disagree with your claim.

For example, you claimed in the past:

I easily contribute 200-300 dps from my dots and a malefic cast every now and then along with arrow/balance/spear on my brother who plays a machinist he normally clocks another 150-160 dps through an entire run which is on par with scholar personal dps.
Show us your parse of this fight, and show us a before and after log of this MCN with the same group and gear but no buffs in one fight and full buffs in another.

And consider this, even if you can prove you contributed 350 to 460 DPS in A1-4 when you combine both your personal DPS and mathematically improbable buff boosting, I can do the following on SCH:

I've clocked about 420 DPS in A3 using Eos w/ 52% Overheal (which basically means I can afford to use Selene and be YAY, more buffs!) and an i180 weapon
^ All examples with me paired with a DF'd healing partner
And that's just my personal DPS, not including the additional DPS Selene brings to my group.

I have nothing against the AST job. I find the job extremely rewarding and engaging. But I wish the reward:work ratio was much higher as I can pretty much do the same amount of work on SCH/WHM with about 50-75% of the amount of effort. That seems to be what most of the pro-AST players seem to not understand.
