Well look on the bright side: They didn't give AST a healing pet!

I am completely ecstatic about the AST changes. Looks like I made a great decision in buying AST Eso gear first.

And when your OT in a fight were having grit on for almost all of the fight is necessary it's stupid annoying to keep mp up when nothing is attacking you long enough to regain mp so all you can Use to recover mp is syphon strike and carve and spit?

The TP buff is a fairly big thing. You shouldn't be in grit as OT if you aren't talking damage as you are just outwardly nerfing your dps output. Any intermittent damage can be mitigated with cool downs and there is no fight that "forces" you to be in tank stance as OT.


Secondly I have never once ran out of tp as MT and I've done every fight in this game as drk outside of A3S and A4S. After the initial aggro gain you only need unleash to maintain aggro in most cases and using unleash every once in a while provides a means to conserve tp.

Hybrid healer is still the worst idea they've ever had.

I thought 1.0 was the worst idea they've ever had?

Astrologian is love. Our static ast wrecked shit without the buffs, I'm excited to see what they can do now.

Almost 2k in mp needed to put grit up and you never know when moogle crap will hit the fan and you'll need to grab hate fast also its on gcd so you can't swap faster in bad situations and in stuff like A4 where the ot needs to get the Discord energy balls being in tank stance helps taking less damage.

In regards to DRK TP issues; I'm going to safely assume this is the only change we'll see. The reason is simple; looking at the trait for Unleash. SE's intent for us to regen TP outside of BRD, MCH, or NIN, is to use unmend, and if we proc unleash for free, that too. I've had to resort to it several times, and while it's a DPS loss, it's still a hell of a lot better than what PLD has. We at least have an option to still do damage and regain TP. At best PLD can shield swipe for a small tp regen while doing damage.
