Astrologian new ability idea

Yes, just like how White Mage and Scholar were, compared to AST in pre-3.2.

Uh, no. Not really. AST was weak, but SCH and WHM were not op.

All healers are pretty much overpowered, else solo-healing wasn't viable and cleric stance uptime small. That's only enabled by healers being completely overpowered for the given content.

I have to disagree. The only time a healer was overpowered was at 2.0. Where Holy Potency was high enough to out dps a BLM. Where the stuns were stupidly obnoxious on top of superb ease of party healing which SCH extremely lacked at the time. (Was possible to party heal as a SCH, it definitely wasn't easy)

Since then it flipped the script where WHM's were complaining about overheal's going to waste while SCH overheal's are shields.

AST came into conception and it's use was bellow the standards of being an effective class. On top of it's cards being next to useless.

AST's buffs came and now they have the power to 0% to Max their MP while still healing. The Cards being overpowered are debatable because RNG still comes into play.



Honestly looking back at it, the complaints where always what the other jobs had. SCH's at the time whined about the lack of AOE heals. WHM's QQ'd about SCH's Mitigation. AST complained about being completely inferior to both healers. And now WHM wanting to do more outside of the realm of healing for boss raids.

A job is over or underpowered when compared to the other jobs within its role. Ast was garbage. Sch and Whm were both OP compared to it. They fixed it by making Ast the strongest healer.
