Astrologian 5.0 Discussion

I... just don’t get it.

Cards are now pointless.
In addition, they gave WHM a rework to Lilies and Plenary Indulgence, meanwhile they adjusted AST with this ‘Horoscope’ thing which... is exactly the same as the new Plenary Indulgence… So AST is just a WHM with cards, again.

It seems like their attempt to rebalance healers involves a lot of homogenisation.
They basically boil down to pDPS and rDPS like all the DPS jobs now, AST gets flat damage buffs, WHM gets more personal DPS.

Because they wrecked Scholar, I had thought about playing an AST--but judging by the changes they hit you guys as well I've just determined that every healer will be a very boring, lame job to play in 5.0 and I'll just avoid the role entirely. What a waste; this will be the worst patch / expansion in a long while for healers...perhaps in any MMO ever.
