Collective Unconcious

I did not say you did. I am confused as to why you are trying to put us into two camps as well. Pro Astro and Anti Astro? Is this a new page in your debate 101 to try to gain a new edge? And I have already gone into groups with people on my server who have whispered me wanting me to put up or shut up. I will gladly invite anyone to parse against training dummies and do a 5 minute run with and without my buffs in whatever scenario you wish to persue. And I have nothing against you since you have put up convincing arguments in the past that I have found turning my mind on some items in the past.

And in all honestly it is normally the job of the prosecutor to bring overwhelming evidence against those who are defending a job that does not need to be defended. Astro/Whitemage/Scholar bring there own strengths and the one thing people are not even mentioning is astro buffs will continue to scale exponentially while the scholar will only receive gradual increases in strength from gearflation. Our buff is a universal enhancing buff that scales incredibly well.

Vlady, I think most posters on this forum will agree with me - we as the healer community have given you overwhelming evidence about why you're wrong in your assessment about AST.

I'll just throw a few more out there.

Let's assume perfect RNG and say you pull Balance every single possible time. Other cards may give DPS increases but nothing is as direct and powerful as Balance.

Balance is 10% Damage Increase for 15s every 30 seconds. This averages out to about a 5% increase over the course of the entire fight. Say we liberally boost that value to 7.5% for other considerations like Time Dilation, Celestial Opposition, using Balance during a burst phase, etc.

Let's consider two quotes you've posted:

If you time balance just right it can improve a dragoons dps by 400 du ring it's run.

If Balance is a 7.5% DPS increase over the course of a run and that DPS got a 400 DPS boost during that time frame, that DRG would of have to be doing 5333 DPS during their burst phase.

Tell me... what DRG in the current ilvl can do 5333 DPS for 30 seconds in their burst phase?

along with arrow/balance/spear on my brother who plays a machinist he normally clocks another 150-160 dps through an entire run

If Balance is on average 7.5% DPS increase over the course of a run and that DPS got a 150-160 DPS boost, the MCN in question would need to be doing 2,000 to 2,133 over the course of the run.

Again, tell me, what MCN can consistently do 2,000 to 2,133 DPS?

Your move Vlady. Either put up or settle down and admit you're wrong. We don't need to be on your server for you to put out parse numbers and on top of that:

I truly would love to speak to these supposed double AST in Savage 2 and by luck I'm on Balmung so hit me up because I just do not see how even combined they can make up for the lost DPS I provide, let alone the mitigation, healing and buffs I can provide coupled with a WHM. Truly, I would LOVE to speak with them.

I think this poster is still waiting for a response from you, perhaps? I'd like to hear it from his side too if he has joined you for some testing.
