Astro in savage

[technole]

I do find it odd SE didn't give tanks a way to refill TP just a little but in any case NIN still has Goad for Tanks and if the tank is getting low BRD/MCH should be helping too. At the very least TP and MP restore should be on one card and leave another open for some more useful.

It's really only DRK that has TP issues. WAR has a TP regen skill in Equilibrium but most of time it's used for a heal unless it's a continious fight like Alexander A2 where any TP gain is appreciated.

Pop on over to the Tank forums and see what's been said about Paladin TP.
EDIT: Not that BRD and MCH doesn't help alleviate the issue, but during extended fights they still have trouble with it. I haven't brought Paladin up to 60 myself, but it held true enough pre 3.0

I just posted this in another thread
"I feel like this is kinda off topic...or maybe it isn't, well, anyway.
When i saw that AST would be a Buffer job i instantly saw "Synergist" (From the FFXIII series) i thought "yees i'll be able to cast a magical buff on BLMs and SMNs, defense buffs on Tanks etc..."
But then...RNG!
Why cant we be an actual buffer job who can choose which buff apply, which player will receive the buff, which moment is the right moment, without being killed by a HORRIBLE RNG system?
I would replace a bunch of AST skills by single buffs with a certain cooldown that you can apply to a player who actually needs it.
For example:
Balance: X seconds CD draws the balance card and apply it to the target buffing the damage dealt by Y%
Duration: Z seconds
The same for the other cards, i would feel SO MUCH more like a buffer job. And we could replace shuffle and draw by an useful CD (maybe a healing CD?) as it would not be needed anymore."
Of course this is just an idea, so calm down y'all.

It's not that the astro is weak its people feel like unless they are going the power hemming route in raid s they are holding back the team. Since it has been done with an astro in alex savage regardless of whether people feel like they could have done better with another healing job the astro can do the job and do it better then people give it credit for.

On all the "A1 savage clear" videos with an AST pov, all I see is a SCH that does the healing as if he was solo heal.
