Astrologian buffs confirmed

Thier mana isn't a problem any more than a whms. Which isn't a problem either. With spire you have a 96 second LA, with CO you can add 5 more seconds to the refresh. Hq Mega ethers are very cheap and all mages should use when its off cd. Astro has problems but mana isn't big on the list. Some of you complain just to complain.

Rose tinted glass at its finest. Honestly, your comments are so pro-AST while refusing to acknowledge any of the issues, that I find it very hard to take you seriously anymore.

AST currently has it worse than WHM did back in 2.5. There is one single MP regen ability, they have one single MP free heal (two if you count Collective in Diurnal) and absolutely no way to buff their healing potencies in the event of an emergency. Not to mention the fact that all of their potencies are weaker than WHMs. SE obviously even acknowledged the fact that WHM often had it rough with MP and so they added another MP regen ability in the expansion.

It's also quite ridiculous to suggest AST having to purchase Mega Ethers as a suitable fix, when it's quite clear WHM nor SCH really ever needs to.

I agree with everything except the potencies comment. WHM does have bigger potencies on their heals but technically the AST's base heals are more mana efficient. What puts WHM on top is a)Regen is massively mana efficient, b)Freecure procs, and c)Divine Seal. These three used properly are what really make a WHM so mana efficient before they even need to cast Shroud. AST doesn't have any such features. :\ So we'll see how the various class and mana changes affect us. I have a lot of hope actually that the improvements will be what this class needs in a lot of ways.

That's not exactly true, I am very pro-ast, there are always people who are over-the-top pro-this, and then the middle guys who could go either way, then the negative anti-that complainers like, you for example. I have said multiple times I wanted tweeks to the job, but mainly a fix to the card system. The healing and mp issues these scrubs have arnt my own, so I dont feel the need for buffs in those departments. Whm has always been my main, and honestly it has been very boring and easy. So astro kind of put me at a level where my healing is on par with how difficult it should be.
