What does everyone think about those AST buffs?

What's up with this mentality of "ast isn't supposed to be good at anything plz nerf!" This is awesome, and its not like there is anything holding any other healer back from running content? This is a reason to celebrate, take your jealousy elsewhere you mongrels!

Is this the case? The way I read it is that healing any other party member gave the Synastry'd person 40% heal. Does it in fact give the tank the bonus as well if you heal the tank?

Yes it is. Meaning you can choose to use a 573 potency shield on cd. Roughly ~critlo with 0 rng.

Or, and hear me out, you don't need certain cards at that moment and other specific cards are significantly more useful.

Why would you pick an Astrologian if that was such a huge concern when not only has its always been advertised this way but even the lore of the job quests expects you to deal with the cards that you get. Won't let me post anymore - I meant why would you choose to play one, you, personally? It's never been advertised as being able to pick a card and I wouldn't want to be able to.

Except they don't have Virus, or E4E, or Aetherflow, or a fairy.
So, I think we're still good. :V

Other people have e4e and virus. Fairy is nerfed.

Yep it is exactly that.
Say I put Synastry on the tank, I heal the tank for 4000, then he gets healed again for 40%. Not entirely sure if this is a bug, cause the tooltip does not indicate that you should be able to do this. However people are saying the German and French tooltip is corrected for this.

ckc22 I dont really see your problem as SCH I feel not in the least bit threatened by AST or even jealous. AST recieved some of the buffs they needed and I wouldn't even be mad or anything if they recieved some additional work in 3.1.

This is what happens when you design a class as "use other classes abilities".

Well this makes me pleased, I can finally play my AST for savage without major complaints.

Shields and hots aren't final fantasy exclusives my friend
