Astrologian Hate!?

I had a long drawn out post I was halfway through, but honestly I'm tired of arguing this. The math on how all these buffs compare and the effect they have on dps and been done, and the verdict is that a 30 second +3% attack speed buff that can be cast every 1 min consistently beats out balance and arrow in real situations. This is not including the fact SCH can simultaneously cast a 10% dmg reduction field every 30 sec that lasts 15 sec.

I want to like AST too, so I get why people try so hard to defend it. But fact is it's just not that good atm.

You can talk till you are blue in the face or your fingers fall off. If someone didn't come up with the math themselves, they won't believe it even when they know it was done correctly. You tell someone theres a magic fairy in the sky creating worlds and they'll believe it. Tell them the paint is wet and they have to touch it. Same concept.

I want to like AST, but I can't get over not having a reliable way to fix group mistakes in time.

There is a way!
First, predict when your group is going to make a mistake, and how many of your group will be affected. Armed with this 'information', keep drawing cards until you draw bole, but before that, keep drawing cards until you can either get expanded or enhanced royal road. Now that you have your appropriate royal road, either cast the enhanced version on the person about to make a mistake, or tell everyone to gather so you can hit everyone with an almost useless damage decrease buff. Then, after the mistake is made, use aspected helios on the group or benefic 2 on the individual. This could take anywhere from 3 minutes to 3 years to set up properly, but at any rate, problem solved!

Or you could level whm instead and use divine seal on medica 2 in like 3 seconds, or just use an instant cast benediction, or use presence of mind.

I wish astrologian's had a ability that let them have a considerably lower global cooldown then the other two healers. Being the busy healer having more casts but less potent casts seems like it would fit he job nicely. I hope they allow lightspeed to lower the global cooldown by a significant amount since its only useful for endurance with mana cost and movement right now.

I want to like AST, it was my first 60 but it's just so ...meh. SE, if you don't want to fix AST for AST, do it for WHM and SCH. Every time I get paired with an AST, I'm like, "Ah, crap... Well, better put on my big girl panties, it's time to carry".

[Snolily]

AST has almost the exact same tools as WHM at level 30 except with the addition of Draw.

Draw reminds me of Corsair lol. I will find out soon, it looks cool.

Or you can level sch instead and use fey illumination+indomitability, or rouse+whispering dawn or Lustrate or Emergency tactics+Adloquium(it tastes like the kiss of a flying rainbow unicorn when it crits <3 ) -and the list goes-

I don't have scholar leveled past E4E so I couldn't comment on that lol. But I did forget about eglasticamation or whatever the new mini-benediction for whms is called.

edit: Tetragrammaton, seriously who comes up with these names
