Would you like an in-game parser?

Yeah, there are definitely a few queues, but nothing concrete. Hate meter is notoriously unhelpful vs say AoE. If we are fighting 5 mobs and a melee single targets for 1k DPS and I AOE for 3k DPS, I am doing 3x the damage, but have 60% of the hate on the mob the melee is targeting.

There is also issues such as pets reducing your hate - Garuda does ~20-25% of the damage on single target, so there is a constant 20-25% reduction in my personal hate generation. Then there are also differences with hate reductions skills.

Finally, this also requires that the AST be targeting the mob, where they may be targeting the tank and want to just quickly toss out the card.

But in this case you'd want to use the buff on whatever Job is better at AOE DPS, it's still a hit and miss but there are guaranteed gains if the person is doing AOE even if poorly.

Just to be sure, make sure they used AOE skills before buffing them.
