Thread: AST changes for 5.1+ feedback

Malefic is not a problem with Ast, Card/divination buffs would be appreciated given that we are going to be using this system for awhile but neither of them will fix this:



This is the start of week 7, that is a huge disparity between the healers and it is not due to Ast being slightly weaker than the other two(it don't help but that isn't the core issue), People just don't want to play Ast anywhere nearly as much as they used to, it is worse disparity than Whm was throughout SB which was considered inferior throughout.

The Devs messed with the gameplay of Ast too much and players just are not liking it but for whatever reason(I am personally of the opinion they just couldn't handle trying to balance the old card system based on their responses) they are adamant in this is how Ast is despite all of its problems like Nocturnal, Collective Unconsiousness, being controller unfriendly, new card system being unrewarding and not something Ast itself can utilize properly

Turns out, using Raid DPS for support jobs is more accurate than Personal DPS!

Turns out, WHM/AST has been neck and neck with WHM/SCH for over a month, but people decided to ignore numbers and reason and logic!

Either you do not understand how fflogs works or you somehow do not know that AST has received a buff 10 days ago.

The screenshot was before the buff, therefore you should expect that applying the "Patch 5.0" filter will give you something similar to the screenshot in the OP.

Applying the "All Patches" filter, you get your screenshot.
Applying the "Patch 5.1" filter you get something very similar for AST specifically.

The reason is that parses for 5.1 have overtaken most of the parses in the 99 percentile, therefore most parses in the 99 percentile are from Patch 5.1 (after the buff).
