    Some of the Healer decisions every expansion are just baffling. Astro has more free healing than WHM thru oGCDs, less expensive spells, and more ways to recoup MP but WHM got Thin Air nerfed. So much lol

    given how bad 5.0 ast & sch were, and especially how bad sleeve draw was on release, i dont think they playtest healers much beyond "the kit is functional in theory i guess".

    in case you dont rememvber 5.0 sleeve draw, you had to use the draw action 3 times in a row, instead of just giving you 3 cards.



    also this official ast sample skill usage is hilarious. if you look closely youll notice that synastry didnt even do anything.... and it was also used prepull


    at least the other healers had broil and glare in it guess....

    Ew. I started when it gave you 3 cards... and when Lady/Lord of crowns was ALSO its own animation! That was fun (no it wasn't)!


    Back to the original post... while I wouldn't mind if Astrodyne's mana refresh was removed (its kinda over kill) please don't also remove the mp gain on the cards. Especially since Lightspeed no longer reduces mp cost now.

    I'm tired of being told to wait for post-patches and expansions for fixes and increased healing requirements that are never coming. Healers are not fun in all forms of content like all jobs should be, they're replaced by tanks and dps due to low healing requirements and their dps kit is small for 0 reason, when in the past we had more options and handled things just fine. I refuse to play healer in roulette come DT. I refuse to heal EXs, I refuse to go into Savage, and I am boycotting Ultimate.
