Will it help if Astro have slow Effect add to Gravity?

[NobleWinter]

The Cast for any AoE magic spell should be able to finish without a Target. I realize it's a coding issue but being able to finish casting an AoE dps spell on any mage class after the target has died would be a serious Quality of Life upgrade. Gravity did see a minor buff with the cast time reduction that I really appreciated. Now they can weave one ability in per cast which was a huge improvement. I can't wait for the next update to see if they are going to really dig in to improving the healers because so far this Role as a whole has been kind of lackluster in this expansion.

the range hardly helps though, SCH can weave in 2 abilities with each AoW and WHM stuns leading to enemies doing no damage. AST has to completely stop and heal. Giving them a slow to help them mitigate some damage so they can heal a little less and dps a little more hardly comes off as OP.

ok so when SCH got ED back, we want as WHM got something similar for ED for lilis spend... for balance sakes ...

That's fair. I've expressed similar thoughts as well, WHM should have something to spend lillies on that isn't a heal.

this may be 1st time you agree with me, that new (sarcastic post)

It should have been there from the start.

The spell is Gravity. The thing that weighs other things down.

I do agree, slow would be a great effect to put onto Gravity. It wouldn't solve ALL my problems with AST's current state, but I would be tempted to try it out again if my main AOE DPS spell had some extra utility (a'la WHM).

I wouldn't mind, but it'd never happen. SCH and WHM have to stand close to do their AoE, while us AST can cast AoE from a distance.

WHM and SCh can keep their tank selected and instantly oGCD heal as needed. AST has to bounce selection between tank and target.

Not as dangerous as having to stay so close to cast aoe but okay.

I don't really feel a sense of danger when I do Art of War. At worst I have to move for a couple of seconds and be unable to hit the ones that are still in the middle of a giant aoe.
