NOOOOOOoooooo why.... they made the buffs we didnt use and buffed them which was great! but than made them the ones we need to burn in 8mans. >.< super happy about the changes just wish they left this one out.

I love these, I wish there was a CD like Divine Seal or another o-shit button on Astro though. White Mage and Scholar are still considerably stronger as healers.

I'm keeping my Astro for farmable content for now, I love the class but it isn't cut for progression just yet.

Just gotta bid our time now. Once savage data comes in they'll see what classes still need a buff; and I'm 95% sure AST is on that list ^^

Their buffs are no where on the level they should be.

I absolutely hate when I get paired with an AST over a WHM. I feel like AST should be left in trash dungeon raids and not let into hard raiding content.

I have had nothing but PILES of terrible astrologians. I love WHM because they kick butt. But I have never had a really good ast where I haven't had to dump so much healing power I go oom consistently WITH proper heal management to mana.

These ast buffs discourage me. They are no where near where they need to be. Sure they get gimmicky cards but that's all.

Just from levelling it after my Sch I could see the massive gap in healing output, I went from breezing through speed runs on the Vault with my Sch to seriously struggling to keep up on my Astro.
