Possible AST nerf

[amihavingfunyet]

Just gonna leave some real numbers here.
AST gear: 2211 MND, 1163 Crit, 1235 Det, 404 DH, 998 SpS

WHM gear: 2211 MND, 1405 Crit, 1404 Det, 404 DH, 829 SpS

Did the Susano X SSS with both of them:
AST DPS: 2103.68 (no cards used at all)

WHM DPS: 2527.13

So that's a DPS difference of roughly 424DPS. Assuming your party does 20k DPS the AST would need to provide a 2.12% DPS increase with their cards to make up for lost damage.

Now if you assume you can't just mindlessly spam Stone 4/Malefic 3 during a real fight, if you only compare their DoTs and Assize/Earthly Star you end up with: AST getting roughly 16% of their potential DPS and WHM getting 32% of their potential DPS.
AST: 336.6 DPS
WHM: 808.7 PDS

So you stil just need the about same DPS increase from cards. (~2.36%)

Edit: accidently uploaded the WHM gear set with Susano Cane, but I actually did it with the AF3 cane, fixed it.

I was really hoping someone would, as I'm not a healer, geared or otherwise. Thank you!
