He's of course not wrong and I appreciate the honesty but that's disappointing nonetheless when the dev team basically admits they have absolutely no idea how to balance something.

It kinda sucks he admits that openly. Between the AST tweaks given in this patch and the VIT/STR changes for tanks, I've sadly lost every confidence in Yoshi-P and his dev team to balance the game properly --; I hope that changes over time - all they're doing right now is giving AST more raw power without actually changing their healing identity. And with Yoshi's comments above, he and his team even compares Noct AST to SCH and his comments is true - it's hard to argue against a pet that basically says "heal for 4,000 potency over the course of a minute at 0 MP and GCD consumption from my master" and buffing Noct AST to hit those kinda values would just be silly and most likely game breaking.

I guess it's pretty indicative too considering when this forum last looked at A4S clear rates, I believe there was literally only a single clear with a Noct AST according to FFLogs.
