It literally didn’t though and that’s why they had to change it lol. You had 6 cards, yeah, but in practice you had one (Balance) and two cards that existed to make it aoe (Spire/Ewer).

Arrow’s GCD Haste cannot exist in ffxiv as an ally-granted support effect under any circumstances because of how fixed rotations are (see: black mage timers getting thrown off in HW/SB because the AST arrowed them).

Spear’s Crit rate increases would scale exponentially (I think); either it’s useless next to balance, or it’s so powerful it’s not worth using anything else.

MP Regen as an ally-granted support ability isn’t allowed to exist in FFXIV anymore (see: ranged dps having fixed raid spots in HW/SB because of songs/autoturret promotions / refresh). No job can have it.

Bole has the exact same problem it has now (an effect literally nobody needs that we can already grant with a plethora of reliable, non-rng abilities).


I’m all for giving Astrologian more varied and unique cards, but let’s not pretend the original versions didn’t have a bunch of their own problems; not to mention they existed in what’s essentially a completely different gameplay design to what we have now.
