Regarding AST

Please, just stop with your ridiculous suggestions regarding healers.

You definitly don't know how to play them.

I do know how to play AST
Just cant be bothered placing combust 1 by 1, AERO 3 & BANE miasa + bio is OVERPOWERED
Giving spire movement speed instead of useless TP is RIDICULOUS OVERPOWERED

Dont see how this is making AST ridiculous just trying to make inconvenient and situational spells more interesting

Hmm i think Synastry suggestion might be too much but the other 2 suggestion making AST overpowered is laughable.

Combust suggestion is overpowered then white mage is overpowered by making a 1 spell hit all which SCH can use bane to do it too

Giving movement speed to The Spire is overpowered too...

And remove cooldown on Benediction.

Unfortunately, removing the duration of Synastry to make it essentially infinite would make Astrologian far too powerful.

I'll admit I don't often use The Spire outside of expert dungeon AoE pulls, but I don't believe a movement speed increase would make it much more appealing.

I agree removing duration of Synastry will make it too powerful.
I only suggested these 3 changes because it is boring to spread DoT individually and The Spire bad so with movement speed added will make it more situational than it is now.
Thank you for your feedback and appreciate it.

Astro could use a ogcd to stop clipping so much. They could probably do something with Noct Astro vs Sch as for what I don't know.

As for allowing combust 2 to be aoe why? Do whm use these spells for raids against massive mobs often enough to warrant this change?

Miasma II was to fix that specific whole in their skill set.

Oh no, I absolutely agree that SCH needed those buffs. It was terrible in 4.0. My point was just that I don't think ASTs better shielding was ever the reason it was better than SCH. Because technically it still does have superior shielding, that's not where the problem lies. But again, hard to buff other aspects of the job which could move over to Diurnal and kill WHM again. So I have zero suggestions for AST.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if Combust I/II was more like Aero I/II, where it has both a burst and a DoT. That way, during phases where we have to move, I can just spam Combust I/II to do damage. >w>

Does AST really need an AoE dot? It might be nice, but is it really, truly, needed for AST to be a good class? I would say no. Don't waste your time Combusting all the mobs. Just use Gravity.

I was looking at all the buffs as a whole. And you never said the speed buff would be in place of its current buff.

And having their only DoT be AoE would be... not overpowered but a bit strong. Combust II damage would need to be lowered as of right now it is 500 potency. Aero III is 370.
