I don't mind at all. = ) The whole point was to get people together to talk about it.

QooEr, As for piety helping to prog savage... well, I am progging savage, so. =P I read that, for DPS, it's gotten to where the damage increase from Crit and Direct Hit outweighs the damage increase from Det given how the stats work now. It seems contradictory to me for healing, since I'd rather have consistently decent heals that I can easily predict how much will heal and therefore how often I need to heal, rather than hoping I get a crit-heal when I need it. Especially since AST heavily relies on being proactive, and planning ahead. Essential Dignity is good, but not as good as Bene and Tetra. I kinda wish we had one other "Oh crap!" healing spell, though the healing boost of neutral sect or synastry generally gets the job done. So while my mindset is that focusing on Det and Piety is more fitting of my style as an AST, if the numbers show that your way works better, then that's how it works, and I'll just have to adjust. =P
