Ast cards should stack.

That's a report right there. You do that and waste everyone's time, you'll get a deserved ban eventually.

If se has a proplem they shouldnt allow 2 of the same job in the same party are allow us 2 stack im not staying in something that keeps me from using my cards nor am i taking the penality 4 leaving.

The only problem is the one YOU are making. I don't like Noct AST overwriting SCH shields, but it happens. Everyone else learns to adapt to double job parties, deal with it because I'm telling you if you abuse DC just so you can avoid the penalty, a ban will be much worse.

You should absolutely be eating the penalty. You’ll be out of DF for 30 minutes while someone else now can’t kick for 4 hours.

Ehhh, I dunno about "stacking" effects, but it would be nice if one AST's expanded card effect didn't overwrite another AST's preexisting extended or enhanced single-target effect, since those potencies are stronger. Somewhat minor, but there have been times when a co-AST single card buffs a party member (say, arrow on a BLM) and I have an expanded balance ticking. I think a card's relative strength should take priority between 2 ASTs, ie: Expanded < Normal/Extended < Enhanced. A normal/extended card wouldn't overwrite an enhanced card and an expanded effect can only overwrite another expanded effect.

You should know right off the bat that the DF already uses an algorithm so two of the same job are not paired together. If you are paired with another AST, it means that there are no other healers in the queue, or none that meet the requirements for the duty you are in.

Is this really an actual thing? Because there have been countless 24-man raids where I see one double healer party (or more) and looking at the other parties figure the algorithm should have just made a party with an AST/WHM each instead of AST/AST and WHM/WHM parties. Or AST/WHM and AST/SCH instead of AST/AST and WHM/SCH. Unless 24-man raids are the exception to this rule.

Completely unrelated - your signature is one of the best things I've ever seen on these forums.

Indeed it is. Particularly in 8-man queues. For alliance raids, the algorithm is not perfect. Think LoTR when transporting locked out players are placed in the wrong alliance for the Atomos'. I've had those alliances as well where two of them have double of the same healer, but different from each other. Makes for some good lols. I actually don't mind it that much since I get to adlo the tank in the alliance without a shielder.

no, not really.

no, not really.

Yeah, didn't think so. Just came back from an AST/AST Rabanastre while another alliance had WHM/SCH. I doubt there's a sorting algorithm. On a side note neither of us overwrote each other's AoE buffs.
