First time playing Astrologian... need some advice/tips

Side note for you: Don't take AST in Level 50 Roulette, you and your team will hate the job for its inability to contribute to AoE damage until level 52. White Mage is the best option there.

May not be perfect, but pretty sure we can cross class Blizzard 2.

I've done tons of 50 roulettes and neither me nor any of my party members have hated the job. If they did, they did a really good job at hiding it.

I'll take my buffs+disable over diminishing return Holy anyday of the week. If I give balance to literally any DPS, let alone the whole party, I'm pretty sure it will outpace the now very nerfed Holy. And that's not counting any of the other benefits that the cards can bring. This is coming from someone who has both classes at 50. Now if it was prenerf Holy, I might agree with you.

Highly doubtful. Ast at 50 is garbage in dungeons, whm holy contributes more then buffing party members with cards you may or may not even draw, let alone set up an expanded royal road every trash pull. Shroud+ holy and i'm going to out damage melee dps, add PoM and i'm probably going to out dps the casters too.

I highly doubt it. With six mobs, a single holy is 1050 potency. It's virtually impossible for balance to out pace that. Not to mention while you're chain-casting holy, you don't need to do any healing for the first 10 seconds or so, and the fact that you can't consistently draw balance.

Postnerf Holy is pretty trash in my opinion. I'll still take AST over WHM any day for any content though. I've never seen anyone complain about AST in 50 dungeons either until this thread.

More like AST is a snoozefest until you get Gravity at 52. So sync'd content WHM>>>>>AST. With Holy the stun means less tank damage. AST stun with CO you should align it with Aether/cards.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's pure numbers. In order for balance to out do holy, you'd need to balance someone putting out 10,000 potency per GCD, which is just not possible in a dungeon setting.
