Please Return Randomness to Astrologian's Card System

Sleeve Draw: Am I a joke to you?!

Not an ability.

Also I made a mistake, of course you'd hold the 60s card for 60s, and use it right as burst starts, to then immediately draw again and use the other buff card. Bit weird to not just have one buff card for everyone then on a 120s cooldo... oh, we could call it, I dunno, Divination?

[Carighan]

The two minute burst window should go anyway so that suggestion being hampered by the burst window is probably a null point

Opposite.

Yes it should go, but until that is done all such suggestions about job redesigns comparing the current design are moot as no job would look like it does right now in a post-120s-burst world, anyways.

What relevance does that have lol? They’ve proven many times they can easily reinstate any old ability they want; Energy Drain being a prime example. Unless you’re going to tell me the Astrologian ability Sleeve Draw literally did not exist as an FFXIV ability which is…an extremely bizarre attitude to take over something so easily googled lol.

Your bottom part doesn’t make any sense either because Astrologian literally already works like that. With Divination lol. You throw a card then cycle to Umbral to throw a card and then you use Divination. It’s practically always worked like that, we just had Spread before instead of a second Draw button lol. So you don’t want Astrologian to be in a situation that it’s effectively been in since it came out in Heavensward? It kinda comes across like you just really don’t like the job tbh. It’s like asking why Bard still has two DoTs (‘because it always has’). Not to mention how it also funnels healer design in general back to current design (why add more buttons when we can just put the entirety of their potency into one spammable? No more bloat!)

You mean Divination is dropped, and instead we alternatingly buff melees and ranged every 60 seconds? This has a weird side-effect in that only tanks and melee DPS are buffed during the main bursts, you are aware of that, yes?

1. Lord/lady would go back to being rng, so it would benefit whoever you draw for that.
2. I said nothing about it staying on a 60s cooldown. (a smaller one like 40 or 30 would also be nice, depending on what you put draw on)
3. It's obvious that this can be solved by having two stacks??

I also think burst meta should go but thats another issue
