Serious feedback on Astrologian after clearing A1 Savage.

Honestly great post.
The more I play my astro the more I feel like square wants two things: for us to be healers but also to be healers who support.
Thing is we cant be both because we end up with what we have or an OP healer. So if the cards are our gimmick and what we bring to the party, ie: support, then that's what we need to be. We need to get cards buffed so that the RNG is worth the risk of inconsistency. A fact I actually like about astro, I love the rng aspect it makes the class very reactive.
Or, we need our healing increased and our buffs left untouched. In that case we'd be healers who can occasionally offer a slight buff to the party.
Whatever square decides they just need to make up their mind. We can't have it both ways it's gotta be one or the other or we'll always be subpar healers or OP supporters.

I know.
I was excited to have a 'support' healer but from this post, and how things been going since release...It's not looking so good.
It's gotten better thanks to the buffs we got the other day but we're still lacking.
Hopefully, SE can really buckle down on what needs to be looked into since Savage is out.
Kinda breaks my heart a bit since I've waited for the job for months, only for it be lackluster
and people seem to not want us anymore. We're getting baby steps in right now so let's hope SE can do something.

PS. Please fix Nocturnal Stance. That is one skill that is absolutely USELESS.

Calling it useless is pushing it. If you don't have a scholar, it's not horrible. And it actually fixes the 'lack of emergency heals' the class has a tad. Instant-cast 250 potency heal with a 250 potency shield is pretty great for saves.
