Astrologian Guide

Your MP problems are either gear or skill. It's an illusion.

If I'm looking for a certain combo like AoE Balance I continue to draw and use the cards until I get a balance I can hold, then I keep drawing and using until I get an Spire/Ewer.

You should assume something is already royal road', given the 1/3 chance of drawing a useful card. Under that scenario, yes! You use Arrow. You draw Arrow or Balance, and have nothing Royal Road' you hold them. If you already have something Royal Road' you use them. They are the only two useful cards. Everything you do is about setting up an AOE, 60 second, or 20% Arrow or Balance. Nothing else matters. It's not a complaint or anything, it's just the way the cards fall.

I don't see where they said anything about Spread. If you shuffle into Bole at the start of the huge pull, there's nothing wrong with tossing it onto the tank so you can help dps longer.

Do you have a royal road card already stacked? If not, Royal Road that Bole. If so, right click it and get rid of it and just heal the tank. You're a healer. 10% means nothing unless something is gonna tank buster it to hell in 1 hit.

When is it best to used aspected benefic?

Is it for emergency quick heals only?

Listen I'll just draw this out here so that people will understand

[Blank Slate]

Draw -> Arrow or Balance -> Spread
Anything else -> Shuffle
Arrow or Balance > Spread
Anything else > Royal Road

[Draw 2 w/ Balance or Arrow Spread 8 man group]
Ewer = Spire > Bole = Balance = Spear = Arrow

[Draw 2 Balance or Arrow Spread 4 man group]
Balance = Bole = Spear = Arrow > Ewer = Spire

[Draw 3 Bole, Spear, Spire, Ewer Royal Royaded]
Balance or Arrow -> Use it
Is Shuffle is up repeat.
Otherwise, see draw 2 on priorities for Royal Road, otherwise Right click.

Maybe that makes sense? idk
Unless you have something like that set up, either right click it, or if shuffle is off cooldown just blow it.

If you're not comfortable with DPSing as a healer, yes, you could do that. Otherwise, you could do the example given.

I don't get it... is 10% damage reduction going to increase my DPS? Top off, apply hot, jump stances, DPS, when they are low jump back and repeat. The math just doesn't check out that 10% is going to affect anything in those scenarios.

Experience is sometimes better than math. It's %10 or more, along with regen. That can allow you to stay in cleric stance for a good while longer, allowing you to help kill things faster.

It's not a "goal", like Balance or Arrow. But if, while you're trying to get Balance or Arrow and end up with Bole, it doesn't hurt.

But the problem with that is you're blowing your Royal Road for a useless card. If you don't have a Royal Road already, you're better off royal roading your Bole. That's what it comes down to.
