    To be perfectly honest this has me a little worried when it comes to doing any content without a static. If you are in a group with more than one well geared player it can come down to favoritism when deciding which individual deserves the buff. Imagine yourself as a DPS in a dungeon, being well geared and believing you are doing very well, but the Astrologian in the group keeps deciding to buff the other DPS instead of you because they think the role of that DPS is superior or their individual performance exceeds your own. It can cause unnecessary friction and while perhaps the worst that can come from that might just be one less commendation for the Astrologian, I just have to wonder why they decided to go with single target buffs instead of having buffs that affect the entire group equally.

    And actually I guess I probably know the answer to that already which is double Astrologian and the potential issue of stacking buffs. Unlike Scholar, who can coordinate to have one player use Selene and the other use Eos, it isn't the same thing to just tell an Astrologian to not use their cards. If Astologian buffs were party-wde and able to stack it could get a little too powerful, but even if they didn't stack it wouldn't necessarily mean that one Astologian would never get to use their cards as Royal Road would still be valuable and you would essentially get an extra card draw or two in the event the primary card user doesn't draw what they want.
