Give Level 50 AST Gravity

Every time I do a level 50 dungeon I feel absolutely underwhelming in terms of damage. As the only healer who has zero AoE it is pretty frustrating. I feel like with the Synastry changes and giving AST Largesse as a cross role skill, Gravity should be the level 50 skill and Synastry the 52 skill.

I understand it's irrelevant in the long run, but this has been something that always bothered me. Now that Synastry has been altered, I really have no reason to use it in dungeons anymore. There's a few rare exceptions on boss fights, but definitely none of the level 50 bosses.

Synastry 4.0 is exactly how it was in base 3.0. The healing buff was added to it during the Alex Gordias 3.07 buffs for Astro.

Other jobs are just as awkward at level 50 like Dark Knight.

Not true. It actually is in the changes section of Job Guides. "The effect increasing spell-based HP restoration by 20% has been removed." I understand completely that we have Lagresse now. It's a role skill though, and prior to 4.0 the only reason I used Synastry in most content was for the +20% healing it gave. So at level 50 dungeons, it has almost zero use now. That's why I think it needs to be swapped to 52, and give us gravity at 50.

Be careful what you ask for or you may find it moved to role abilities like the debuff cleanse skills. >_>;

I play SCH. Want to trade AoE capability? Stop complaining. The fact that you even have Gravity is good enough.

Make AST great again

I didn't complain. I made a request. I play all three healers and love them all. But when I was leveling AST and got a level 50 roulette, it was frustrating. SCH at least gets Bane with I think AoE 55 potency of DoTs. Which is better than the nothing AST gets at level 50

However later on AST gets a spammable 200 potency move. AST is fine in this regard. At least all your job quests give skills.

That's very true. At no point am I saying BUFF AST! Or AST is no good at the game. I'm saying in level 50/60 duty roulette, when you get a level 50 roulette, it's unfortunate that you are the only healer with zero AoE capabilities. All I'd like to see is the level 50 and 52 skill swapped. Nothing else c:

It's fine to be weak in a 50 roulette. After all, it's fine for SCH to not have a spammable AoE at all. Every class is awkward at certain levels. Only some classes have that awkwardness go away however.

please go create a "make SCH better thread" rather than just go on about how bad it is. Yes, we know SCH got nerfed and that you can no longer spam Blizzard 2 in dungeons. What Mitisuki is saying though is that at lv50 SCH (wait for it) has some actual AoE damage. In this game where DPS is king and as a healer if you have downtime you need to be doing damage, it only makes sense that AST should get a form of AoE for the Lv50 dungeons just like the other healers.

This isn't necessary. AST at level 50 is terrible, even moreso now with their reduction to a single DoT. AST has in fact always been terrible in 50 roulette, and I can hardly stand it. While SCH is nowhere near as active as they once were at 50, AST is still far worse in this particular level sync situation. There's no sense denying it, so let them bring it up without derailing the thread into the 60+ roulette territory.
