Current Evaluation/Status of Astrologian and Ideas for Improvement

[Vlady]

LOL you're completely fooling yourself if you think AST is perfectly fine and that you're the only person who knows how to play the job.

Not the only person. There are more people who know the astro is fine then care to put up with this drama filled forum just to try to counter the 5+ new threads a day trashing a job that is not trash. Astro is powerful if you know how to properly use your cards as I said in the past. If I can increase a machinist dps by 120 through an entire right not even counting my personal dps people seem to not care about trying to find the average means the cards give in power to our group mates.

Only thing I can agree with is white mage is more popular because both astro and white mages are nearly healing par for par until crap hits the fan and the sustain healing strength of the white mage is what brings it on top of the astrologian in cutting edge progression. People care more about survival then individual buff strength in raids for the most part.

If they allowed a third healer in raids then the astrologian would be utilized as much as the white mage. That is the real reason no one is talking about. It is a paradigm of one job will have to sit out because of how the raids are formed around two healers.
