Just buff Astrologians

[Leiloni]

I got Stone Vigil for my duty roulette on Monday and wiped at the first big room when a patrol joined the mobs. I kept aggro the entire time so that wasn't the issue. The AST could just not keep up with the heals. I died, then he died. Felt bad about it, but he never said a word. No issues the rest of the dungeon but...that was a wipe that never should have happened.

Really not enough info here to know what the problem was. I am more inclined to say that it's either a tank or healer skill issue. AST can do Stone Vigil and most other dungeons without issues. Content doesn't really become challenging enough to see imbalances until later.

I haven't had problems in Stone Vigil since I was a baby tank pre-50. I had four mobs, a fifth joined and I grabbed it while repositioning, I was holding onto all five and popping cooldowns to handle the damage and I died. I didn't lose aggro. Mobs were facing away from the party. I died. Then the AST died when I went down. Perhaps it was their specific skill level. But it was a relatively routine pull; the wipe should not have happened.

Sounds like your Astrologian was either undergeared or unskilled. Aspected Benefic, (Luminiferous Aether or Lightspeed early would be ideal) and Benefic/Benefic II spam with an Essential Dignity weaved in to keep the tank stable should have been sufficient. Five mobs is a lot in SV, not impossible, but it's a lot of incoming damage, especially if there are multiple aevis or ziz. It's more likely your healer was unprepared for significant damage (or didn't know how to handle high damage well, SV is a big step for healers both in trash damage and bosses) or their leveling gear was just ok, not that they were an AST.
