Astrologian "BUFFS"

[Pharmacies]

>> Loads of AST complaining for the lack of burst healing and emergency CDs
>> Get burst healing and emergency CDs (with reduced mana costs and zero cast time)
>> Complain because those skill can now be used for that

While lightspeed buff is nice, let's say that the Tank is taking huge amounts of burst damage and your essential dignity was already used up. Is lightspeed going to save the tank? There were times where the tank was being damaged more than my benefic II and yes, the situation is probably avoidable. But the difference between us and other healers is that they have emergency skills for these situations while we honestly don't have much security. If anything, lightspeed has become a sustain skill for our mp which is nice.

Let's say tank is taking huge amount of damage and your Benediction / Tetra has been used already. And you dont have Aetherflow stacks for Lustrate.

Want to add some more "ifs"?

A WHM hits Divine Seal, and/or Presence of Mind and heals through it. A SCH hits Dissipation and Heals through it. An AST hits Lightspeed and... does the same amount of healing he was doing before for less mana. The lightspeed buff is not for Emergency Healing because it doesn't increase our healing output at all. We are still bound by the GCD. Lightspeed buff is at best our Assize, as it saves us some mana for 10seconds.
