I get the feeling that we're going to be going back to needing to hold Lightspeed again if we want to avoid clipping?
Yeah idk what div windows will look like and obviously no one wants to figure that out until things are finalized.

And yeah that's probably the case that you try to play cards optimally and seals are not prioritized. But even then there are questions like, if you have AAA or AAB or ABA seals, would you hold for a fourth C seal to upgrade it? Since the fight doesnt always end perfectly with 3 cards, sometimes you have 1 or 2 extra, you have this choice. But then how would that change the alignment since now you are delayed by one card? I'm sure by release people will have calculated this and it might even have a simple answer, but I think the fact that its even something to think about is just insane.

Aligning astrodyne with raidbuffs is only 15% of 15% of 250 potency malefics, when you add up all of them it totals not even 50 potency, yet even that tiny amount is something to think about, more than healing and more than even casting malefics. I think that shows the absurdity of healer dps. Mulling over 50 potency. All because healers are healers yet told to dps.
