SCH & AST MP management issue suggestions

[Yuyuka3]

You're right. We're crying. Look at our numerous posts about how Astros should be buffed. Count them. Please, count them... I want to know how many people are asking for buffs, right now, on Astros. Let's see if you can see the difference between QoL changes and buffs. Even with QoL changes, there's two big ones that we're asking for, neither of which could be described as a buff. I don't think White Mage is dead now, so I certainly am not going to look down on anyone. The whole point I was trying to make -- which you clearly missed -- was that people have concerns and they're voicing them. Perhaps it's just an issue of not using a particular ability at an opportune moment. For people like you to interject and stifle the voices of those people is incredibly rude and pathetic. This idea of "you're OP, you have no room to talk" is a cop-out argument because you're frustrated that you aren't getting what you want.

I love AST. It has been my main since it was released and up until 4.0 I NEVER had an issue with maintaining MP, but since 4.0 it has been a major adjustment period. I feel like I am unable to enjoy AST like I used to because I'm constantly staring at my mp bar and praying for a ewer (which btw I hate using on myself).

I feel like I can't DPS as much as I could before because the rate of MP refresh time seems to have been cut in half, and I really hate not being able to DPS as much. Also, using my cards now, I feel like every ewer I pull has to go toward helping me with MP rather than helping me set up other card combos for my parties.

I feel like an easy solution for not only AST's issue, but SCH as well would be to adjust Lucid Dreaming by either lowering the cool down time or raising the potency or duration time.

I miss not having to worry about my mp.

Didn't take me very long to find one. Too lazy and tired to search much further, but if you want another example, this thread not only asks for some QoL adjustments to the job, but also for things like upping the damage on Earthly Star (LOL...) and to the Spear.
Also, nice you are talking about yourself. But I doubt you are the only AST out there.
And yeah, maybe it wasn't really great to do that, and I'm aware I didn't contribute anything meaningful to the conversation. Normally I would have rolled my eyes and walked away. But I'm having a really bad day, the constant whining is getting on my nerves big time, and I honestly don't care about staying civil with people whining about how bad the most op healer has it anymore. I'm also fed up by SCH crying while at the same time telling me I'm fine while feeling like sitting in a sinking boat, with sharks circling around me, whenever I look at what the other healers got and will get (SCH buffs in 4.1).
But, you know. You aren't exactly better with how YOU, too, jump at people's (and I don't even mean myself) throats, and your argumentation, in other threads.

So you're going to treat all ASTs badly for the actions of a few vocal rude people? :/

I mean OP posted something that they were having trouble with; they wanted help and discussion because they 'thought' there was an issue and many people have offered some tips to help them manage their MP....yet you come in and basically troll an innocent post just because other trolls trolled you :/

No, but I'm sure as hell calling people out for their bs. It also wasn't a few trolls, but half this board plus people outside of it. And OP didn't want help. They wanted a straight up buff without needing a buff, as quoted and marked above. Coupled with 'it's so bad now that we aren't having invinite MP now anymore'.
