But why is Astrologian so broken now?
Have our complaints over the near useless unless you pull a balance card RNG given them the wrong idea that Astrologian was unappealing or too weak, still??
The Ast's bad design means this is going to keep happening forever. It can't be a copy of the white mage with shields, that's just never going to work. It'll either be too weak because they're trying to balance for utility and choice, be too powerful because it has the same capabilities but additional utility.

Or they could somehow fail amazingly and make it too powerful because it has stronger heals, shields, AND the good cards while everything costs less mana. That could happen too, but who would manage to make THAT mistake? No developer would ever do that! Either way, the Ast will always be a problem until they rework the class. Maybe in the expansion where they add a tank and a healer to figure out DPS class balance they'll get rebuilt to make sense. For now, it's best to pretend it doesn't exist if you don't wanna play it.
