I look at is as AS being the most useful use of my divinity, so given the choice between casting it and another spell in divine mode I'll cast AS. And who doesn't build enough divine power to cast a spell every ~14 seconds? I'd say out of my last 1000 AS's maybe 2 were not divine...

We are definitely dominating, and we are always about to win.
I would be very interested in seeing a build that leverages what you are talking about. I get that increasing the teams dps (as you suggest in the boosting of power) with some mitigation would be better in a scenario where people are not chugging pots/need healing, but this has not been my experience.
I have to say it is pretty common belief is that Blu is better when it comes to AS, and this did not come about because people are having a different experince. I run at lower end content, so maybe what you describe is not possible at our level of GS and this is a 'end - end game' disccussion, but i am yet to see a group where the dc is using yellow AS and the rest of the party is comfortable.

You there. New to the game? Feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you think getting to end-game is impossible for a casual player like yourself, or maybe you just need to be around a community that helps each other stay sane and competitive with the latest news, current trends, random chitchat and most of all LEGIT (that is, we try to keep things fair) gameplay. If you don't mind being around quirky people and the rare occasional drama (one of our prominent TR members is apparently a mafia godfather) join nw_legit_community at http://www.nwlegitcommunity.shivtr.com/forum_threads/2330542.

I think 'Him: DIVINE AS IS BEST!' should be 'most the community population thinks DIVINE AS IS BEST!' and you have it right.
Again the purpose of this thread is to address the 'eyes' right? How many non-dc come to this forum? not many.
So if the porpose of this thread is to address the 'eyes' then you really should just communicate what you are doing and why to your party, and the issue is solved. Without doing this, you deserve the eyes.

You guys sure complicate things, I cast yellow or blue depending on my situation Simple as that. Blue makes the most sense in most cases but if I am under pressure a yellow at least reduces dmg. taken. Works for me Of course we do have that issue of people running from our circles and I get that with blue and yellow lol. Kinda funny really!
