Was anyone else surprised to see the patch notes and not see any buffs for astro?

The hybrid tax is real indeed. But will never be enough to make me go back to my retarded fairy that I have to spam a key for her to listen when she decides its a good time to.

yes because there buffs are at least guaranteed and useful every 60 seconds, even removing the fairy from SCH and looking at just the player itself with its crit shield mechanic would still roll favourably against the AST, having a fairy on top just kills any chance of the class being balanced compared to the other two

AST is not a bad class, but that also does not make it viable when compared to the other two.

The wishful thinking that this hotfix will adjust AST and every negative sayers and their mothers will jump ship. Ahaha.

I'm more concerned that relic wasn't put in yet.

I was surprised honestly because it needs a buff. I been playing it quite a bit doing AST/SCH and I like that combo. You can heal and buff the party. I mean how many threads do we have to make to say fix this job. Bard and eat crap and die they are useful for mana/foes the rest of them are dead on the floor.... but AST is like the only time mage/healer i'm gonna get! FIX IT

AST is having the same issue as DRK right now, it's a hybrid of warrior and paladin with no real advantage over the two, however while AST is also a hybrid in this sense its fine for the job role of healing, unless you're terrible at healing you can do just fine in dungeons and raids with zero issues. The main thing i would like to see changed are their dps abilities, they're far too weak even at max level to be of any use, the dot's aren't terrible but let's be real they don't come close to what WHM and SCH can do when it comes to dps and never will with their current tools. And change shuffle to only give you a random card besides the one you just drew, i too have experienced the pain of drawing the same card twice quite often, but can just hold or royal road it if its useless.

Astro is not broken nor was it on the level of bard/machinist. It will be quality of life changes like no more double shuffle same card and change to a useless cooldown but outside that Astros have healed all content solo. You cannot compare astro to white/scholar because the job was intended to have access to both sects in battle but se nerfed it. Once we can shift in battle our strength will rival the other 2.

Can you tell me how much dps those other 2 healers do? Because I keep hearing AST's dps is terrible. Just for comparison purpose.

Who really likes rng? Not a lot to be honest. Anyways, one small annoyance isn't going to drive me from a class that I overall find enjoyable.

As someone who played an ecaflip in wakfu where if rng was bad we would draw a card which could kill a party member (Or even heal the boss by a few turns of damage) I really enjoy an RNG gamble class, high stakes big payoff.

[Eraqus]

Cmon guys a stun skill with 150 secs cool down while whm can spam it.... Lol

Its ridiculous.

Another cool thing would be that one that allows us to change our sects. It would be cool doing it during battle.

And give us more seconds on card buffs. Let them last a Lil longer. And please..... collective unconscious! Most beautiful looking skill and the most useless in all the game. I tried to use it but only works with trash mobs pulls. Just that.

Please se listen to our voices.
