DPSing as AST

[Kabzy]

For me, it is the single worst decision they have made for any of their classes. To have performance linked to a roll of the electronic dice - completely and utterly wrong.

In theory, yes. But with the nerf to Balance and the Spear change, not really. That's 3 cards out of 6 that are beneficial to use, as opposed to before when only the Balance was wanted.

As with anything gated by RNG, yeah you could go through an entire duty without getting a single Balance/Arrow/Spear, but in reality that's never going to happen. Especially when you factor in that the first card pre-pull can be a spread Balance guaranteed, even if it does take up time. Having that up while the entire party is doing their openers is a significant boost to raid DPS already. More than a WHM will be bringing themselves.
