Astrologian changes feedback

[Zaytex]

Judging by the media tour leaks, it seems like cards will be unbelievably boring. Mit card seems to be a flat shield/flat mit, the heal is a regen/burst heal. Damage remains melee/ranged (or it might be magic/physical? The leaker wasnt clear).

These are leaks, so take them with a grain of salt, but with the embargo set to end a couple days from now, I don't expect to be proven wrong. I hope to god I am, though...

Oh my god I've just read them and it's awful. It's nothing new or interesting, just existing tools that every WHM/AST already have... but repackaged as a ''card''.

This is really bad. It's literally what we predicted. I can't believe we are losing 4 damage cards every 2 minutes, astrodyne and unfixed melee/ranged type which require actual effort and skill to optimise in favour of more mitigation and healing tools which are just weaker than existing ones on both WHM/AST.

I'm genuinely speechless.

The "Curative" card from what the live letter explained said it would be a heal. Lady of crowns card effect is a heal why would we need another one? Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth and gives me better reasoning to not go back to healing with the direction they are taking Ast.

-A 3 minute pulsing healing buff (that might I remind you doesn’t actually need kardia to proc), a 20% healing magic amplification and a new once per 60 second oGCD
-a regen, a 20% healing amplification plus unlimited emergency tactics and a once per 2 minute 15 second DOT
-a pointless dash and 3 charges of a random oGCD damage once per 2 minutes
-cards repackaged as weak single target healing oGCD’s, a mitigation and a 600 potency oGCD once per minute


That’s what amounts to an expansions worth of changes to an entire third of the trinity in the modern MMO with the strongest enforced trinity

The DT changes are beyond a joke honestly

Lmaaooo so cards are turning into repackaged “Lustrate” + “Sacred Soil” + Balance per minute? XDD

This is too funny :kekw: and sad.

More like lustrate/intersection/balance per minute lmao.

Just what Astro needs, another charge of single target healing, this makes 6 for some ungodly reason

3 EDs, 2 Intersections, 1 Exalt, and a bonus ED and bonus Intersection every 60s. Tanks had better be getting annihilated in even MSQ dungeons with full mit to justify this crap. But they won't. Bc babies need to be able to clear :3

-Cards repackaged as existing OGCD tools but weaker and inferior in every way possible. Capstone ability which is just CU but 10s longer, or a weaker Temperance.
-A gap closer to a high uptime healer, with a DPS button to press 3 times every 2 minutes.
-A 60s damage button, with AOE Kardia + healing buff to redirect you back to mashing dosis quicker.
-A 2 minute DOT with a capstone ability granting unlimited emergency tactics and stronger regen healing (+ shields?)

What the absolute fuck are they doing? Why split the healers into two camps if you're just going to give each side more abilities of the other? I don't believe for a second encounter design will demand for more healing, so why pick anything else but SCH/SGE in high end content if they still have the strongest mitigations, but now... even stronger regen healing? Oh, and they've buffed tank mitigations yet again to an insane degree, can we just remove healers from DF already?

I'm so done with this role.

“How can we go about to try to convince the mass that 5.0 SCH decision to remove ED was the best decision for the role?? I know! See that AST?? Give them ‘AF without ED’/SGE treatment!! Away you go!! More free resources!!”

Sorry, that was too much of a clownery on their end to not laugh at in these dark times. I know everything technically aren’t live yet, but I find it hard to be optimistic thanks to their track record with the role lmao.

[Supersnow845]

This is genuinely the closest I have ever been to dropping the healer role because it’s become worse than a joke

Did yall see the tank changes

Mitigation on the 2 minutes is being bumped up to 40% and every tank is basically getting another tanks short mitigation effect on their long mitigation
PLD getting a shield
WAR getting a regen (seriously another regen)
DRK getting an excog stronger than our critcog
GNB getting thrill

Genuinely do they not see that lowering the skill floor this fight isn’t fun except for anyone that is still struggling to heal a tank that heals themselves because they can’t read their tooltips
