Astrologian 5.0 Discussion

[Cyrocco]

First, Noctural set has specifically made it clear that Aspected benefic will incur additional mana cost rather than just 500mp as in Diurnal, please read the job guide properly.

EDIT: Also the MP value on Aspected Benefic doesn't change when you're in Neutral Sect, letting you cast 500MP shields from Diurnal, which is oh so nice with the MP issues.

Thanks for clarification for stackable shields. Though, again, that comment about reading the job guide was for the first point.

Your first point in regards to...the effect of Nocturnal Sect adding an additional 500MP to Aspected Benefic?

Because I never mentioned Nocturnal Sect. I said Neutral Sect.

Because there's no additional Mana cost in Neutral Sect. Which you can see in the videos.

Does this matter? Familiarity with the class doesn't mean the system isn't still complex and versatile - the cards had different purposes, and knowing which situations in which to apply them, or which cards would be a good draw for that moment, or what you would use each card for if you draw it is still part of the fun.

Part of the issue is though, once you got to the point where people were farming the highest tier raids in the gaming, those situational cards became...useless. Which cards remain seen throughout all content? Balance, Spear, and Arrow, the DPS increasing cards, effectively making half of Astrologians previous kit unneeded. This is far less of an issue with what options Astrologian had, and more to do with how content is designed, but the new system already represents what any Astrologian was doing with familiar content.
