Gravity has a super satisfying sound but I honestly think it needs some kind of buff. It's otherwise just a shittier Holy on a class with more mana issues and less DPS options to begin with.

I got the idea from this one (which is how I learned you can use Bone White to colormatch) but I always liked full-face helmets more than the visors and there was no way in hell I was going to grind out the 275 anima. Afterwards I realized it looks kinda like Cruise Chaser/EDD, which is a nice bonus. (The arrow keys seem to just move the camera for me, unfortunately.)

Just give AST a genuine aoe instant heal my god that's all I want. And buff Diurnal Aspected Helios it annoys the crap outta me that it's sorta weaker than med 2. (It's weaker after 2 ticks iirc)

How much does Earthly Star scale on stats? I think it acts as a pet, but I'm not sure how much they scale either.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:How much does Earthly Star scale on stats? I think it acts as a pet, but I'm not sure how much they scale either. Earthy Star works on the same rules as Shadow Flare and Salted Earth in that it's an AoE spell with a targeted area that drops a buff in your bar. Thus it scales pretty much the same as every other spell.

Had the chance to look, so here are some numbers. A full shadowflare is 250 potency to everything it hits, if it takes the whole dot. A miasma is 300 potency on one target. A bio 2 is 35 on one target. It's a little bit weaker than your other dots, but it deals the damage faster, it's aoe, instant cast, and free. As long as the targets aren't moving much, it's pretty worthwhile.

Sade posted:AST is better enough than WHM in 8+man anything that I'm ok with this, honestly I'm sorry to break this to you, but AST is only better than WHM for DPS in 8-mans if your group is at least as good as you as far as DPS parses go. I complain about ASTs a lot, and while I'd be happy to get a nice 10 potency Malefic buff, where most of its problems exist is in the more casual realm. Its pDPS is just so dismal, ASTs usefulness compared to other healers basically hinges entirely on if the rest of the group is good. At the same time, the way their MP management works and the nature of the cards and their cooldowns is such that players new to AST aren't going to do well with the job, either. It's just the kind of job that is really only a good choice in a very tiny niche, and I think that's too bad. As a final note, ASTs definitely don't need help in their healing kit,. It's their card system and pDPS that probably needs some reworking.

Move Gravity to level 45. Give AST Malefic 1 back. Tell newbie ASTs to stop healing 4 mans in Nocturnal Stance. imo

I'd accept that too, but at 45 it'd have parity with Holy which is more reasonable... So let's move both to 15.

Malefic 1? Do you mean Stella? Some people think Stella should be brought back as AST's Ruin 2 analogue by making it instant. It also had a potency of 100. This would be to help with the clipping problem. Oh, or maybe you meant Combust I? I guess it'd help DPS slightly, and the 18 second duration would be nicer to work with, but I don't think it's really what ASTs are looking to get. Making gravity 45 wouldn't really fix AST's 4-man issues, though it would go a long way in making level 50 dungeons less of a slog. May as well give all jobs some AoE at a low level and let all melee have their full combos by level 20 while you're at it, though. Moderate changes ASTs are looking for are more along the lines of making clipping less of an issue, making the card cooldowns more forgiving, and having an additional MP return source.

Combust I think now you mention it. Basically, let them have two dots.

Yeah, having Combust 1 would be nice, but it wouldn't really produce any real signifiant DPS increase. It's 20 potency higher than M3, I think. While personal DPS is a real issue with AST, the fact of the matter is that, the way the cards are set up, it's going to be very difficult for them to ever balance rDPS potential and pDPS potential in 4-man and 8-man situations unless they make the royal road effects change for the two different situations. Overall, I am extremely disappointed that they didn't take SB as a chance to re-exam their card system at all to make it one they could more easily balance, or one in which their goals for the card system are obvious for players. At the very least, they could have brought the Draw cooldown reset from PvP into PvE. If their goal for SB really was to lower the gap between experienced and less experienced players, maintaining the Draw cooldown as-is is illogical. The less experienced players are the ones that are punished for not being able to decide what to do with a card in under 2 seconds. The experienced AST isn't really damaged by the cooldown situation, but having it changed would serve as a QoL buff because it would allow them to interact with Spread more easily.

The ARR areas are ghost towns Outside of city hubs like Limsa, endgame tome areas, most zones are ghost towns, FATEs don't get done anymore because there are better ways to level easily now. The latest daily areas are generally active around reset time. Stormblood areas aren't an exception to areas being mostly empty.
