Question about Astrologist Draw ability

[Blueyes]

Are the actual healing spells weaker than WHM? Because the draw system sounds really complicated and I could see a lot of people hardly using it and instead just healing, or using it periodically when they think of it, like when you hit a boss with Virus or something.

The way I interpreted it is that because the standard healing spells will have a have a regen or shield component added to them the base amount healed will likely be lower when compared to a White Mage, specifically next to Cure II. However, next to a Scholar I feel the base potency should be higher when you consider Astrologian won't have a fairy companion to assist with healing. I don't really trust the report on the potency of their healing spells being weaker than a Scholar unless specifically in reference to their shield potency. (450 heal/200 shield for example, or 450 heal/100 regen for 12 seconds in Diurnal Sect.)

Also I don't think the Draw system sounds that complicated. It's more about quick thinking than anything. It's less "which card do I need for this situation" and more "well I drew this card, now what do I do with it?" It mostly just takes awareness of what the card does and who it will benefit.

Sounded most recently like their cure/cure2/medica type spells are baseline potency and they have a specific aspect spell and ground aoe that get affected by the sect, so like an adlo or single target medica2, but weaker, and for the ground aoe a weaker sacred soil/asylum.
