AST low DPS overblown?

[Braven]

I think whm purpose is to provide a job that is straight forward to play and a low skill floor. Most people will perform better with whm because it is harder to mess up using it and to play sub-optimally. Basically, it serves the same purpose as the new warrior; you don’t need to memorize and practice specific rotations to do well. I actually perfer whm and play it the most because it is easier to play well.

I see “party buff” vs “personal dps” words thrown around, but they are really the same thing. The cards are “1 mitigation, 3 flat dps increase, 1 mp regen, 1 useless”. All can be royal roaded into DPS as needed. So it isn’t really “utility”, it is just simply dps in a different form, like a DOT. Another way to think of the cards is as an attacking “pet”. If EOS could attack with embrace instead of heal you would think of it as your own dps, not a party buff. Just like EOS is really a HOT, cards are really a DOT
