Astrologian Cards Can't Be a Coin Flip: A petition

It's a shame how the DPS is the only utility that matters crowd killed ast cards :/

This isn't picking on you specifically, but the mindset.

Whose fault do you think this is? If, as another poster rightfully pointed out, the vast majority didn't reduce the class to "Balance- By any means necessary! with maybe spear being a consolation prize."

I just think maybe people should get some perspective and have the self awareness to ask themselves "Did I cause this?"

It is caused by different players with different styles, mentalities and mind sets, where most of the time 'dps first' is what is perceived as what the majority wants and therefore focused on. As of 5.0 ALL the games jobs will cater to this mindset, disregarding those who prioritize non-dps-related utility. Astrologian was the only job that was different in that sense, and players who were drawn to it because of that(like me) can no longer play the kind of job they prefer. There is no alternative to switch to, while players with a 'dps first' mindset have every job to choose from.

Very much this ---^ And honestly, I liked having a bigger variety of utility at the expense of a little randomness. The job had its own unique flavor. Feels like we're turning a fun game of chance into card-counting... using a deck with only 2 suits and five numbers.

And did I read correctly that our only stun is being turned into a minor group heal with a 120 second recast and no other effect? Yikes, I'd hate to eat the bland stuff coming out of SE's kitchen.

But you do see an awful lot commenting and agreeing on how apparently it's balance or bust. People complaining about how they got tired of looking for balance and so on. So you could see where they got the thought from and it's obviously enough to worth noting.
