Astrologian is also not from FFXIV, although it bears the same name. It is definitely not a healer class. It's more like that end boss in WoW that was going to 'reset' Azeroth and has more in common with the Celestial Steed than Astrologian in this game.

Microsoft/Blizzard has a number of jobs described in the video (Tinker is like the Engineer profession, except with mechs instead of exploding sheep). Because of this, I wouldn't say that Blizzard/Microsoft is going for anyone's throat. At best they might hope that name recognition might spike some interest, at least until you find out the particulars and go "um, no".

The WOW class being more a time mage is basically what astrologian used to be

If you made HW/SB AST into a DPS instead of a healer it would basically be a time mage

Sure thing. But AST was designed in HW to be a healer, not a DPS caster. Go figure.

tl;dw: Blizzard sent players a survey floating ideas for potential future classes, bard and something astrological among them. Don't get rused into wasting time on a near 16 minute video from Bellular.

Tomato, tomahto. It's extremely close to the FFXIV description, I'm sure it isn't coincidental.

Not that I care, although I give WOW its due for being the foundation and/or inspiring many other games, I never played more than 2 weeks of WOW, that was enough for me.

if you never give something a chance to get better. its trapped in the past, unable to grow improve or change. makes me wonder if the game is the one trapped in the past at that point



a company isnt a person. its a product producer. and you shouldn't deny yourself the chance to enjoy a product because of past company decisions. in the end you're the one who looses out by forging paper alliances. if wow looks good. your sub isn't sinful to give to them. be proud that you enjoy a product they make. and that is ll the validation you will ever need

More so. Two of the other jobs are basically dragoon and machinist just not in name.
