Do AST really need this Buff?

[Elamys]

Maero, people quote each other a lot partly because it makes tracking conversations easier. In a forum thread where there's often multiple topics being discussed, or when you want to address a specific point, it's easier to quote the person than to just type it out. It's nothing to get offended about since it's very common on forums.

Why do people feel the need in this forum to always quote people and rather then offer advice on the actual topic go off and say something else?
It is not high school here.

The quote is used as a means of replying to a single post on this forum. It's proper etiquette. Just making a post and speaking to another person in general terms with no reference is awkward. If you're addressing a specific person or post, you quote them. And people cut posts down to single lines because there's a character limit.

Ok but quoting to then just argue or bash a person is very rude. Then again this forum is the most toxic of all FF forums out there

Its definitely not the most toxic. Especially not because people quote each other. Honestly, after reading your "argument" I can tell you that while he was abrasive, you were much more "toxic" as you refused to have any discussion and immediately attacked him.

You obviously don't know anything about forum sites if you think quoting someone to argue with them is rude, because this is something people do on forum sites all. The. Time. Its less confusing and much easier to follow that way.

Sorry you don't like people replying to you directly when they disagree with you, but that's something you need to get over if you are going to be on a forum site.

I didn't quote you just to "bash" you, I legitimately wanted to know what you meant by your initial comment because I could not (still can't) figure out any way it actually makes sense from a game balance perspective.

If you aren't putting enough thought into your posts that you can explain them, or you can but simply aren't willing to, then you probably shouldn't contribute them to the thread. If your opinion is uninformed or not well thought out its not actually worth anything and until you can formulate your thoughts in a straightforward way that makes sense you're not ready to contribute to a discussion. Attacking someone for questioning your opinion or asking you to explain yourself is also incredibly unproductive. If you take all that to mind when you post you won't get "bashed" by people.

What on earth are you talking about? In every forum in existence, there exists a quote function to provide contextual reference to the reply given (if nothing else; to set context for whom the reply is in regard to). Which forums do you go to where people talk to themselves and hope others know why they are talking to?

Arguing and discussing are essentially synonyms, with one having a potentially (but not necessarily) harsher tone implied. Quoting "to bash a person" isn't rude at all; insulting them is, but without the quote to show who it was aimed at it would be rather nonsensical.

..

You clearly stated multiple times i basically did not know what i was even talking about...
I even apologized about my statement, god like seriously.. Yes perhaps i did misread your post but it had sounded like an insult.
Why I thought nerfing is not the solution to all the problems, it just shows there are bigger issues at hand if the solution is to "nerf". That is all i was getting at.
Besides if you had not even bothered to read my 2nd posting i did actually talk more and it was about healing. Stormblood was their opportunity to balance the healers, hence why non were introduced. Maybe nerfing is the quickest but in the long run,, well like i said they where mean't to start "Fresh" to balance healers
Balancing is not buffing jobs that were already fairly great

OP asked if Ast needed a buff, that's it....

[Seredeelfer]

Does AST really need this buff - prolly... It's an expansion with a gear reset. If the new bosses don't hit like trucks I'll be surprised and disappointed.

I can't speak for all ASTs, but I would rather they made cards more useful instead of raw buffs to healing output.

As it stands, the card system is basically just a 1 in 6 chance of getting a damage boost buff.

I feel like they're letting the cards fall to the wayside and just making AST more like a vanilla healer instead.

The cards as is are useful. I've had great use out of all of them ._.
