Astro in savage

All I am saying is the class shouldn't be SCH lite and WHM lite, it should have had its own dynamic in the healing department(the cards skills are fine IMO). The devs can't keep creating healing classes that are just redesigns of WHM and SCH. And yes WHM/SCH synergy is still way to powerful. Yes it's been balanced a bit but that's because SCH is borderline OP with it's new abilities. The fact remains that AST is a WHM clone without the powerful cooldowns or SCH clone without the fairy depending on your stance. It shouldn't have been that way and shouldn't continue that way. You can change potency but that won't help the class(20-30 potency in healing is nothing) and changing cooldowns still won't save NOCT stance unless they are drastically redone.

There are plenty of ways they could go about things without redesigning the class, though. Potency increases will in fact help to some degree (though they probably aren't necessary). If various cooldowns gained additional functionality based on Sect, they could shore up various gaps in the AST's toolkit (a common thought is for cards to have an additional effect based on stance). Collective Unconscious and Celestial Opposition (this is the main one that still needs something) need tweaks.

Nocturnal Sect should probably grant the Adloquium critical heal bonus for simplicity's sake (even if it's boring, they're likely to favor boring solutions at this stage and worry about reworks later, much as they did with SMN in HW).

Diurnal Sect *almost* works as well as WHM does, so it wouldn't take much to bring it up to par.

I would opt for letting the astrologian stance dance in combat before upping their potency or adding crit bonus to noc shields.

In the long run, how would stance dancing actually increase their overall healing performance?

You seem to enjoy talking an awful lot about someone you seem to dislike. Cute couple you two would make between nerfing white mages and scholar and being able to magically buff a dragoon's dps by 400.
