New player question about Astrology

[IDontPetLalas]

Astros are not the only one guilty of sometimes letting tanks topple over because of parsing, sch and whm are guilty as well heck actually to me whm tops it on guilty ever since they gave em afflaus misery, yeah I know its scary the mind set of healers in 14 is more dps more than healing , you can only hope you get a healer who is a balance one does both heal+dps when necessary not the ones that just heal and do nothing or the ones who dps 90% of the time and do 10% healing, its kinda why I dont play tank or dps role, if am to do dps role though it be a rdm because there is vercure so heck if I have to drop dps and heal myself at 40% cause said healer is dpsing still am going to do it, now I understand how plds feel and they clem themselves in this state lol , if your a pld at least you can clem, if healer get mad that you clem oh well, they should do their jobs more.

The one time i did a qitana ravel as a gunbreaker, yes i did my cool downs and avoid oranges that is avoidable but ofc things only last so long , this ast ofc had me got killed and plainly admit oh sorry I got so busy dpsing, me being a ast main ofc replied I am an ast main too heal+dsps is not hard. It goes back to why healers are 1 button dps and hot, just imagine how worst it will be if we did got more dps spells like old stormblood SCH. Best thing to do is find a friend that main a healer and keeps you up the way you like it to be, only time I do dps or tank is when ofc I have friends who will plays healer balance like I do with both heals+dps as necessary. Random queue I will always go healer cause of that one awful qitana ravel experience or if to say I was to go random in queue as tank it be as pld(though my personal fav tank is gunbreaker) or rdm as dps to self heal when I see am 40 and below and no heal from healer happening.

1- Seriously, what are you complaining about " old stormblood SCH" ? There were many competent SCH who were able to balance both healing AND DPS during that time. You don't need to believe me- there are .ahhh..additional shall we say blogs to verify that....
2- We don't know that this specific healer was chasing a parse, As pointed out previously, you cannot see an instant cast heal on a cast bar. So someone seeing an AST spamming maleific and then some benefics could well miss some EDs which should be used at low HP. If someone does not understand how ED works (i.e. a tank) they could panic.
3. For AST - it can happen that a learning (or even level 80) misjudges ED in a leveling dungeon in DF. If with randoms, they are trying to be efficient, it's not being malicious, maybe it's lag, maybe it"s a CD coordination issue, whatever- all of that to say- in future- that should not prevent the possible addition of a DPS button or changes to the currently simplistic DPS options that healers have.
