Thread: 3.3 AST adjustments

The problem is almost entirely with how dominant SCH is to be honest.

They're taking baby steps towards making Nocturnal AST better and I think we can expect more adjustments with 3.4 and the last tier of Alexander, but let's get real, there won't be any major rebalancing before 4.0 at this point. It's simply beyond their development capabilities (and to be honest I'd rather have major rebalancing and retooling around expansions). I think one of the biggest challenges the dev team will have to face in the future is where they really want healer DPS to be and how demanding they want their content in terms of healing output, which is directly related. Right now it's stupidly low.

The whole Cleric Stance mechanic is a problem and hard to balance things around IMO. Nerfing fairies while in Cleric Stance would probably outright kill SCH's DPS potential, especially in solo and 4-people content, and buffing everyone else to somehow ignore Cleric Stance's penalty would make things kind of confusing.
