Reaper needs additional buffs.

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.

Any situation I can cover with ogcd healing I do not need the arcane crest to help me with. And I said in another post any utility either monk or reaper provide I can do without. The only one that has much practical use in SOME scenarios is mantra as there is times such as healing checks where you do in fact gcd heal esp if you are ykno A WHITE MAGE. In an ultimate where my party is getting ass blasted I would rather have a mantra up than a arcane crest thank you.

And how often do such mechanics happen that requires such heavy healing? Is it every 30 seconds? No. The arcane crest is a 10% shield that happens to have a little hot on it, it's not really that useful at all.

And again. You disproved nothing. A samurai that provides no party buff or utility is second highest on rdps and at the start of the tier it was at the very top. So selfish dps having lower rdps is nonsense, previously both BLM and SAM the two most selfish dps were topping rdps charts. So even after taking away all that dmg from the samurai it STILL is 2nd from top in Rdps and as I said it was nr 1 for a bit there.

Again Yoshi P said it will be more similar to samurai and the fact it has the weaker utility and raid buff shows they were trying for more selfish. They just didn't want total seflishness else it would clash with samurai.
