Revamping Astrologian

[Donarudo]

Info

Are you using Luminiferous Aether. While your post is decent I didn't see any mention of using this ability. By reading the ability it says it reduces enmity, however cast it and then read what the tool tip says on your buff bar. Its a mana regen. As far as it not being reliable I would disagree with you. Sure its hard to heal as a AST, but I am speed running most current dungeons right now. However, make no mistake, AST needs a little help from the dev teams even though I am sticking with this to the end.

Edit: Also as somebody taught me using spear and then Lumi will reduce the recast timer to 96 seconds instead of 120.

Second Edit: Also when you cast Aspected Helios and then Aspected Benefic you should follow that up with Time Dialation it extends the duration of both abilities by 15 seconds which in turn gives you a 45 second Aspected Helios , and a 34 second Aspected Benefic. I generally put this on the tank.

Everything I have seen with AST is literally about NOT over healing. All this job is doing is forcing you to understand that each situation doesn't always need big heals or more HoTs.

While I see a strain with mana use I have always had sufficient mana to see through to the end of a fight due to using every tool available to me as an AST.
