Astrologian "BUFFS"

[Galdous]

Please stop dramatizing AST's skill ceiling; it isn't that high. It doesn't take much knowledge of the game to understand how cooldowns work and which classes are likely to use what, and RNG dictates which cards will be in your "hand" throughout the course of the fight, limiting your actual viable options.

And then, even when you do correctly predict what's going on and just so happen to have the ideal card, your numerical contribution is still subpar overall.

Not really. Ive seen dps focus dps oriented cards on me during entire runs and I have achieved 100-120 dps between tp increase card/balance/arrow from the beginning of the fight til end. Our astrologian in Savage easily keeps us alive while putting out 350 dps on opressor til he has to drop to help the white mage heal. To discredit someone because they are talking numbers in a mostly sporatic setting is not really credible.

Along with an astro just keeping dots up in and out of cleric stance is easily what 100+ dps? Not the 400 a scholar can pull off but also does not make an astrologian as awful as people are purposely trying to position it to be. We use an astrologian in our savage and we are about at the end of A1 and the astro performs his function well so. *shrug*. Both sides need to relax astro is far from weak but not what a scholar and white mage traditional combo can pull.

You just had a better performance on your run with 100-120 additional DPS, played less ballad or something.

For the AST Buff to net you over 100 DPS you'd have to get every card the astro draws, preferably balance, and do more than 2k DPS.
