Less than 12%, GG Square Enix....

You just did proof that AST can be used to clear savage.

Not the best healer job for make the so-called "log runs"? Maybe not. But who cares.

And, aside the personal crusades against AST, wasn't AST into the group that made world first clear of resurrection? Go tell them they are wrong.

Collective Unconscious could probably be improved if its regen didn’t persist, or didn’t persist as long.

Say the regen only lasted for 9s, or three ticks. This could allow them to buff its potency up to say 150, and it would encourage its use as a channelled ability rather than just popping it once for the regen, because you’d fit more ticks in and those ticks would be more impactful.

Even better, would be if the regen diminished over time. Let’s say the first tick was 200, the second is 150, and the third 100.
This would mean if you channelled, everyone within the bubble would have a 200 potency regen. As soon as you move, or they leave the bubble, the regen starts to drop off.

Next to that, you could match that party regen with a personal refresh. 200 MP regained per tick, dropping off to 150 and 100 after ending. So popping it for a second is 4.5% MP gain, and channelling it can give you up to 10% MP back.

Yup, four years of that same excuse now. At least until the next expansion comes in 2021 and they use it a third time while introducing two more DPS jobs.

Please look forward to it.

No one is ever going to want to channel it unless they add a powerful DOT to it that overcomes the stupid decision of having us be rooted in place forever. Even if you don't care about dps, if things are bad enough you are considering channeling, they should be bad enough that you want to be more proactive and GCD heal instead.

Well you're going to want to use it primarily for it's mitigation, that's what it's for.
The extra healing potency and MP regen is to make it worth doing that, and if you've run out of MP, then DPS isn't an option anyway.

Same with MCH. It had decent numbers, but seeing one was like finding a shiny pokemon - For the majority of players, big numbers don't compensate for poop gameplay.
