I think this is the probably for all healers at the moment they’re better balanced, great, but there are still bigger issues that need addressing. Sadly i don’t see that being something they will address until the next expansion...if they even address it.
The buffs are nice but the card system is what I dislike the most. I don't think the issue is even so much that the cards now go to melee or ranged but having to keep an eye on which goes to who THEN followed by "okay, which arcanum do I have/need?" Just bleh, as someone who played AST for HW and majority of SB, it seems kinda weird how they said "Hold on to your complaints till you see the changes" but then it doesn't address what seems to be an issue we have with it.
I'm actually somewhat happy with these changes. Granted, I haven't played any high-end content, but I've been having fun with current content as Astro. Even more so than with WHM to be honest. In dungeons at least.
I'm still having fun playing the current cards in between healing. Sure, it makes AST a much busier healer than WHM or SCH, but I personally prefer that.
Currently the only thing I really want changed is that seals should be obtainable even out of combat. Nothing is more aggrevating that wasting a seal because you're "not in combat" even though boss has been pulled. WHM can gain Blood Lily charges out of combat, AST should gain seals out of combat. Simple.
I'm completely satisfied with the AST changes.
Exactly what I thought it needed, almost to a tee.
Anyone who thought they would revert the Card changes was deluded.
It's a slight better for Nocturnal (but SCH has nothing to worry), nice for Celestial Opposition and Sleeve Draw.
But, let's be honest, AST is still garbage.
