    I love Earthly Star, too, but every single thing that AST does requires two buttons or two buttons and a direct cast. In this regard, they had an opportunity to make CU effortless, in stark contrast to the OGCD machine that is Horoscope, Cards, and Star. But instead, CU has all the drawbacks of a ground effect without the benefit of being a ground effect.
    I don't know about much higher, but there's no reason it should be so weak if you compare it to Sacred Soil for example. In terms of usability, I don't see a problem with it having a larger radius.

    Talking about tooltips will likely be a waste of time. You'll find problems with many tooltips if what you want from them is more than a simple description of what the ability does. I think details and nuances should be observed and discovered, because you can see the effects for yourself.

    Also, it's not just disadvantages. Its advantage over Soil is that if you have to move out of Soil, you lose the effect. Obviously, this can be solved by better planning, but that is also true for CU.

    I won't speak for other AST players. I personally think Earthly Star is perfect. There's a big payoff at the end that rewards good planning. I don't see a problem with it requiring two buttons (which can be reduced to just one button with good enough planning).
