Astrologian "BUFFS"

[Galdous]

Listen, all they need to do is give us more off GCD heals. That's it. Give us an Assize/Indomitability and another charge on ED. SCHs can lustrate all day, WHMs have Benediction and Tetra. Our mitigation game will still be balls, and we won't have Cure III or Div Seal/PoM or Asylum, or a Fairy healerbot. But hey, at least we would fulfill the basic requirements of raid healing. Everything else is just window dressing.

Astrologian has already healed A1 and A2. Not sure if you expect people to take you seriously.

And it has been universally agreed by parties that have cleared A1 and A2 with an Astrologian that bringing an Astrologian is a handicap.

Come on Balmung and I will introduce you to a static and uses and astrologian and doesnt act like she is a handicap so I am not sure it is as universal as you claim. It is more of group negativity affecting perception then fact. A1 seems tailor made for an astrologian when it syncs up Synastry with double tank buster quite nicely. If you have a white mage in your group go noc stance since our aspect noc is on par with lustrate and we can spam it more then 3 times every 60 seconds.

I think you would be complaining a lot if your Bard dps toolkit lacked the abilities to keep it competitive with other dps classes. AST is not in a good place compared to the other two healers. I'm sure someone out there can clear savage with a thaumaturge in their party-- it doesn't make it a good choice though, nor does it mean thaumaturge is as capable as BLM. Anyone that says AST is a solid raid healer is flat out lying or has no idea what they are talking about. If AST performs so well, where are all the threads singing it's praises? Linking videos showing that the content was cleared with an AST doesn't prove it is fine. It proves the content was cleared with a group of competent raiders that worked well together, despite the glaring flaws of the AST design.

Alright bro, how about you come back when you've actually levelled AST, let alone taken it to savage. I have done both. We all make do, that doesn't mean there isn't room for vast improvements. I'm pretty sure no one has taken you seriously here.
