Earthly Star, Collective Unconscious, and add back Time Dilation

Can we raise the damage potencies to 250 and 400 for Earthly Star, this ability feels outdated for the damage portion. Collective Unconscious 100 potency regen is really weak can we please get a raise to 150. Also, can we Make Time Dilation an AOE extender with a recast of 120s having a 15s duration

The damage of Star doesn't really matter, it only encourages on-cooldown placement.

It's only 50, actually. 100 would make it worth using.

Why not just bake the time extension into Divination?

Collective Unconscious Regen is horrible at the moment for it being a 90 second cooldown. You'll get around 11k hp regen before it goes off also making you immobile for the shield effect which should be placeable just like a Scholar's placement shield/WHM's Asylum. Divination needs rework, 8/10 times you're not gonna waste time redrawing cards whenever it's during Sleeve draw or during casting malefic for that 1% difference for 3 different seals. Earthly star I believe is in a good spot for being on a 60 second cooldown with a good heal Potency. I would love to see time dilation back or some sort to extend card buffs, but if the cards won't change then what's the point. I prefer variety over just a simple 5-10 second extend timer on like 5% damage for one player.

I agree with this. Buff extenders felt great on the old cards, but right now they'd feel as useless as the cards themselves.

Collective Unconscious has in the longest case 11 ticks (18s + 15s = 33s) so you have a 550 HP heal. With 100 HP HoT you have 1100HP thats.... Your reason is with the 100 HP to hold the bubble short and have a 500HP. But so the skill does not work.

I know here comes the question: And now Marius how can the tank surivie the 15s while holding the bubble and why is Collective Unconscious so weak now?

First of all you have to be in Diurnal you want to heal not midigate here:

- Aspected Helios + Celestial Opposition (copicat from AH)^^ + Aspected Benefic (in the OGCD) Aspected Benefic = for 15s-12s you have 600HP Heal (the direct Heal from all 3 spells) and 450HP for 4 time (not five because the GCD use from AP and AB^^)
and granting 10% damage reduction. I know its not great stand there but that is how the skill works and its uncool for raiding but that is like the skill works. Hold it or let it
-> Now to the reson why is Collective Unconscious weak:
With the new Celestial Opposition the AST get a new HoT (not creativ but hey a new hot) so Collective Unconscious have to lose the HP from 150. Or you heal much with stading there. The only thing that change is that with the new CO + CI make the same HP like the old CU. Only the people that "snapshot" the bubble lose HPS but thats okay in the thinking to kick of the 10% reduction anyways.
The HPS is the same like it was in SB (in the time you stand and hold the blue fir.... bubble). After that 15s (in the best case) you can heal again.

To hold it for its entire duration means doing nothing for 15 seconds. You know what else you could do with 15 seconds? Cast Helios 6 times for 1980 potency. People only 'flash' CU because holding it is stupidly inefficient at damage, and even healing.

yusi thats hard to say. You shines in the blue light what do you want more.

That is the deal SE give with Collective Unconscious. Deal or no deal.^^
I am a great fan to say that you, as AST, have to stand under the bubble to hold them. ONLY stand there but can cast under the bubble. But hey I said this since 3 years and you see what happend ^^

greedings

P.S: 6 times helios is not cheap xP But I agree.^^ I make only the bubble if all cards are played and all other healing CDs (until Celestial Opposition) are on cooldown. I dont want to use so much Benefic II if 15s blue shining+ Hots help me there aswell. I konw that is not the best choose to make but it helps in Dungons^^

Earthly Star DPS increase will help greatly in Dungeons since Wall to Wall is norm, SE took away our stun, nerfed our cards percentages and tied spread to a 120s CD. All the CC we had to increase Defense, Halt enemies and buff to increase party performance is gone or barely there. i don't always look to the DPS or Tank to help ease the pain in healing because sometimes you will become disappointed. when the time comes and u need that crunch AST is weak in the Healing department the HOT's are weak, shields are laughable, and single target healing is weak. I cant even beat my 656 WHM Cure I with 2400+ Det AST. WHM regen is the same potency as the AST and its still weaker even though my AST SS is 1700+. Same weapon strength and healing Magic but the AST still doesn't do nothing better Extending Cards, HOT's, or any other buff by an extra 15s could help a little bit. but lets be real!

The Cards need to make a come back especially if AST doesn't do anything better than buff the party. I wish SE would stop with the take away and give to another, AST was perfect, SCH was Perfect, all that needed was to bring WHM up to their level. WHM lvl 80 Tempreance is lack luster, it just 10% damage reduction with an LV40 Largesse. they could of kept Largesse and made Temperance 15% Damage increase with a 10% damage reduction, yes 15% no Chain Stratagem, while adding Back Stone Skin I and II back since protect is gone. SCH might be left out till Selene is made into a 10% Party Support Pet. WHM,SCH Healers that offer Straight damage increases and an AST that offers all its original buffs non stackable unless the cohealer is an AST. everyone happy, cant stack shields or Buffs unless its AST/WHM and AST/SCH.

The Spire is the only card that needs a change

Divination
1 seal 4% with 5s added
2 seal 5% 10s added
3 seal 6% 15s added

Lord of the crowns should go back to a single attack with 3 charges with a 45s recast
Lady of the crowns should go back to a heal with 2 charges with 45s recast

Yeah, I always think that you use CU when your MP is low and LD is still on CD. However, the bubble area imo is too small to justify "doing nothing" for the full duration.

TBH, I thought that we were going to get a new trait that makes CU deployable similar to Asylum and Sacred Soil. What's worse is that they nerfed CU without giving it a buff to compensate, everyone knows that CU was the weakest of all bubbles since you are stuck in 'casting' it and the very second you move it goes away.

I was wondering if it could be a burst instead similar to how CO applies and just gives the damage reduction and HoT on a duration.
