I don't even think Arcane Crest survived untouched for as long, last expansion. You essentially have a utility caster with extremely strong aDPS and rDPS.

I know that they want PCT to be represented in upcoming Savage clears, which requires it to essentially be unconditionally better than BLM in all respects given that it's competing without a Raise. But I'm surprised that they haven't dialed something back.
I’m assuming it’s because if you look at PCT below 99 it quickly drops away back into the “low melee pDPS high melee rDPS” range they wanted it in the first place, it’s only 99 and up that it pulls away because of insane crit variation in the starry muse window as you have 4 above 1000 potency attacks that can crit (star prism, rainbow drip, wings/jaw and mog/madeen) and then another 4 above 800 potency (cyan, yellow, magenta and comet)

I think they should just make star prism and rainbow drip auto crit but bring them down in potency so that the new potency+auto crit= 1400/1000 potency, maybe do the same to comet. That should bring down its insane gold parses without affect the fact that it’s really well balanced at anything below 99 and the real problem there is BLM
