Your thoughts on Astrolgian so far?

If ast could even get half of the utility/ versatility of scholar then I would say the reduced potency is justified. Aspected benefic is instant, which is nice, so you can be more "mobile" than most healers - then again a scholar can just position their fairy too. (edit: lustrate is also instant, but lets not even go there) It seems like pets now get the benefit of food? (crit/det food for fairy? if eos scores a crit heal she has 25% chance of increasing scholars casting speed/ why cant ast have rng like this lol)

Another thing I notice is that people talk about waiting till 60 to see if it gets better - with the way skills and levels are synced, ast should not just be viable at end game, but viable across old and new content. I have no doubt that ast can do all content - but right now its "skin and bones" compared to the other healers. If ast is suppose to be a technical healer... then there should be more reward for people that have the skill to play it - right now ast is high risk low reward where it should be high risk high reward.

edit: sch on other hand is low risk high reward, because your fairy alleviates some of the pressure/ mistakes made.

edit: right now ast feels like a scholar without their pet. In fact sch, without their pet, may have some advantages because of aetherflow and damage mitigation skills.
