My astro under lightspeed can get 6 gcd heals out in this time. This in a healer check where there are party wide multi hits that chunk for good dmg is FAR more useful than arcane crest. 10% extra potency on 5-6 gcd heals applying to 8 people each time. As a healer I don't give a hoot about an arcane crest ticking. After a raidwide if I know there is no further dmg coming I let the party tick up to full naturally. I do not need some crappy 50 pot hot. And if there IS another raidwide coming the hot will not be the deciding factor in healing it.

Also you can say what you want, yoshi P himself said the job is a selfish type dps. And this is further seen in the weaker raid buff of 3%, that is used to give the reaper a big hitting ability. And the weaker utility that is the self shield and tiny hot. Furthermore, the selfish dps samurai is the 2nd highest rdps job ))

Anyway yourself and others repeating the same nonsense in this thread have no clue. I would say to remove yourselves but that's wishful thinking. Here's to hoping the devs have a better clue than you ^^
You say you played healer but if you did you would know that no healer in its right mind would realistically ever cast 6 GCD heals back to back outside of fringe situations - they try to minimize their healing to as little as possible. Arcane crest ticks overall for 150 pot AOE whith no healer intervention needed what so ever. A 10% buff on 300 pot AOE heal from a healer is a 30 pot increase AOE.

Now you factor in that Mantra has a 90s CD vs arcane crests 30s so it can be used 3 times as much and its not even close.

It provides higher numbers, is more flexible and can be used multiple times as often. Its way better in almost every way.

As for selfish dps, you might want it to be a slefish dps but the fact is it provides a raidbuff so it just isnt and 3rd spot personal dps is what it deserved to be. It just isnt selfish in the same way a SAM is.
