+1 to Astro being mostly fine, after actually causing some clutch victories for my team which would be impossible for scholar/white mage since they can't keep constant movement with instant cast heals with nocturnal but that was with me picking up Spear when I needed it for Luminiferous and Ewer and Bole inbetween when I was burning my mana, I can't imagine RNG being that nice to me again.

Our tools and skills are all pretty much in proper order they just need a little bit of rebalancing and tweaks to be able to be properly be weighed up to the other two healers.

But with all that being said Astrologian has quite a lot of self survivability compared to other healers when everyone starts dying and we have the boss on us, nocturnal aspected benefic then lightspeed stoneskin while kiting the boss/mobs ress the tank stoneskin + essential dignity the tank to enough that he can provoke without dying and pray you got some mana to bring others back into the field.
The only issue is probably Alexander bosses will be hitting so hard that it doesn't matter if we have nocturnal shield and stoneskin on ourselves :I
