Your thoughts on Astrolgian so far?

Well draw Bole, Spear and Spire over and over then it doesnt matter how "aware" you are.
RR isnt hard , stop acting like it is.

RR isnt hard its just technical as each card will make RR into either extended, enhanced, expanded.
It does matter how aware u r, sometimes i forget my RR is extended and i treat it like expanded. Ik its on my status bar but i forgot = not aware. So because of that i casted that extended on myself thinking it would spread to others = waste of balanced that the dragoon/ mnk could have used.

So yes it isnt hard its just has a lot of room for error.

Too much time spent creating the combo, due to RNG and Large cooldowns. Means not enough buff up-time. Thats the problem with AST.

[Ambivalence]

I am just so upset because the idea of Support/Healing over DPS/Healing was such a huge WANT for me and AST is just not viable. The job is just lackluster and it could have been so much more in acutal content/actual gameplay.

AST abilities are also so beautiful. I will cross my fingers for a BUFF!!!

"i heal every dungeon to 60" is not a qualification for AST, my scholar can heal the story 8 mans solo and half asleep, story is easy in this xpack.

People say AST is such awesome support that he doesnt need heal or dps, but all i see is in BEST CASE a 5% speed buff AE for 20 secs every minute.
The freaking faery can do that too.



Maybe if card CDs get halved the class would be more interesting.
and rework lightspeed the noob trap skill, which does nothing but decrease troughput by 25%.

[Yumi_umi]

Imo they should allow the CD for draw to be halved if the player doesn't use the card ( doesn't spread, RR, or draw it )
So that way they would have an easier time drawing another card instead of wasting it on a combo.
You can have the perfect RR but not the perfect card for tht situation = you either waste ur RR, spread or shuffle.
Really looking grim for raid stuff so they really need a CD buff or something if SE wants to keep it revolving around rng.

It took playing it and seeing what the new skills do. AST is giving too much up for something SCH can do already with Selene.
The 5 second and 15 second buff extender abilities aren't really doing enough to compensate for what can go wrong with AST.

I went back to fcob, some ex primals ( Longggg q time)
To try a few times and it was pretty hard. I have no problem healing them with whm but as an ast its really hard to "fix" other ppl's mistakes while trying to do ur card management lol.
I wonder y the devs made ast really underwhelming cuz even ur benefic proc for benefic 2 costs mp despite the insta cast.
T12 flames of rebirth aoe healing is hard cuz helios is just too weak = bring whm or sch instead.

Yeah, atm sch+whm will always be better than ast+ whm/ sch.
Ast will be left out till se gives them a CD buff or a potency increase in their cards.

[Shamirah]

Nocturnal Sect is useless.

Nocturnal Sect is useless.

Imo it is better then Regen Stance.

5% potency boost
Aspect benefic instant cast 250 potency heal +250 potency shield
Has both a Medica and a Succor.

Huge con
Destroys SCH galvanize buffs >_<
