Astrologian Speculations! How will it fit in?

[LycorisSelunis]

Just realized that since astrologian is a job, it will only have cross class skills from 2 classes with no base class. This means one of conjurer, arcanist, or thaumaturge will not give cross class to AST.

What is worse to not have as cross class?
CNJ protect, stoneskin, cleric stance
ACN virus, e4e
THM swiftcast

Personally, unless they have their own version I consider swiftcast pretty important. But not having protect or e4e in a 4 man dungeon would be pretty suck, or cleric for soloing.

Also be use the job starts at 30, will they be unable to lvl sync below 30? All their skills they 'start with' would need base levels below 30 then. Also I am assuming they toss in weapons for the 3 new classes into dungeons and crafting, other wise that would suck.

Also consider what the AST needs to be on par with other healers in terms of kit. I would consider these bare minimum however unsure of how their stances changing the functions of existing spells will affect

Basic heal-cure, physick
Larger heal- cure2, adlo
Two aoe heals- medica and medica2, succor and whispering dawn (yes WD is on a cd but its still a huge aoe healing tool, and technically WHM has 3 with cure3)
Remove status- esuna, leeches
Mp recover-Shroud, aetherflow
A split healing tool-regen, embrace
An instant off gcd heal, limited by cd or special resource-benediction, lustrate
Some cooldowns that either improve self actions or defend the party. WHM has self buffs as divine seal and presence of mind, scholar has party help in fairy cooldowns and sacred soil.
Some dps spells to solo with.
