Astrologian Speculations! How will it fit in?

CNJ/THM

Which is duuuuumb.

It'll be interesting to see how thinks play out without E4E and Virus on a healer.

There's actually more sources saying conjurer and arcanist, with their own class specific swiftcast
It kind of makes sense, would need conjurer, arcanist, and thaumaturge cross class skills to heal properly and they know it so had to clone a skill to make it fit

The average healer barely uses these abilities or just uses them wrong, anyway. I doubt many people will notice the difference.

For static play, sure, it would be nice if AST could cross-class Virus to mitigate damage from powerful adds, which are almost always physical in nature.

For DF play, I'd be thrilled not to have yet another untraited Virus cast at random to screw up the SCH/SMN Virus application.

All true. My main complaint is that CNJ + THM is the same as SCH which makes it kind of boring. lol

I have seen people talk about Supervirus needing to be on all healers if Proshell is, since in things like the Coils Supervirus is the best mitigation tool. Basically, if Proshell is given to everyone out of balance, then so should Supervirus. I was also think about that as well.

I don't think E4E and Virus are exactly needed, I just think it will be strange that a Solo AST won't have access to these abilities if they are not available to someone else.
