A simple yet effective AST QoL change.

Hey everyone, I've played AST ever since its release. I've been with the jobs thru all its ups and downs and feel like I have extensive knowledge with the class. But there is one skill that has been bugging me ever since its release with the Shadowbringers expansion and that skill is Horoscope. Overall the skill is great and combined with the new/updated skills for AST the class really has been fleshed out pretty well. The only thing I would like to see changed is the end effect of Horoscope.

As we all know the best way to get use out of horoscope is to cast the skill and follow up with a AH/H. This will "upgrade" the skill, increasing the duration to 30 seconds to cast again to heal everyone with the buff. The only problem is that if that 30 sec buff falls off then you lose your horoscope and no healing goes out. I feel like Horoscope should have the Earthly Star treatment. So when you upgrade the skill instead of it falling off after 30s it would now heal everyone (with the horoscope buff) after the 30s expires. You would still have the option to pop your Horoscope early if you felt the need but it would just make it not as stressful to worry about the skill when your in the middle of TEA juggling cards, dpsing, and handling mechanics.

Have regular horoscope pop at 0 too, as well as doubling the re-activation range.

Yeah schs excog also auto pops when its out as well, definitely makes sense that horoscope should too.

Horoscope is a really weird ability since it want to mimic excog but fail -_-

Why we dont have a time manipulating effect from this skill?
The skill animation is more like time manipulation
Effect can be like this:
- Reset regen duration (rewind time to reset duration)
- Double shield (rewind time to reapply shield)

So agree with this! I appreciate another buff or whatever than another “timing” skill.

I agree. I would like it if it would work like Earthly Star and Excogitation, so that the effect automatically triggers when the timer runs out and you haven't pressed it yet. I wonder why they haven't made it like that from the start. Does it maybe work differently somehow?
