Was anyone else surprised to see the patch notes and not see any buffs for astro?

Pretty much what the title says...

Yup. I was at least hoping for a small buff or some QOL improvements. Maybe we need to ask for buffs in the main general discussion section for some changes. The bards and machinists did it. haha

Maybe in the future my friend.

Not really. I was surprised that they tweaked as much as they did.

AST is less obviously broken than the Jobs/features that got tweaked. My bet is on tweaks beginning with 3.05 or whichever patch they call the one that introduces Alex Savage.

alex savage is in 2 weeks and will likely be 3.02 unless they plan to do another next week...

Small round of tuning in 3.05 but the real tuning pass will come with 3.1 i guess.

They need to gather enough relevant data to adjust jobs.

I think for now they are prioritizing more broken jobs aka mch and brd. They will touch AST later because from perspective, AST isn't exactly broken.

It would be amazing to see anything at all happen with it some time soon, but, as others have pointed out, it isn't exactly broken. Its just not where it could be competitively with other healers.

Lets not talk about Shuffle giving us the same card 80% of the time, either.

"Hello Spire... we meet again."

Hello spire my old friend...

Not exactly surprised. AST problems aren't as simple to gauge and fix as DD numbers.

The names of the builds don't usually follow like that. From what they've said before, we can expect a progression along the lines of 3.01->3.05->3.1.

I don't know how the naming system works, but I'm guessing that they use smaller decimals to indicate minor updates and .1 increments to denote larger updates (such as those that expand on the main story or introduce a major new quest line like the Relic coming with 3.1).
