    So at this point I think we may know quite a bit about Astrologian's overall healing toolkit, at least on a surface level. Currently we have a list of 17 named actions. Then there is one unnamed action said to be used for the purpose of spreading buffs from one person to the rest of the party (which if it does not work with cards I see it as their version of Deployment Tactics for spreading their shield or regen effect). None of these actions are said to deal damage with the possible exception of Celestial Stasis, but I suspect that may only be a utility-based spell like Sleep. Once at level 60 White Mage and Scholar will have 9-10 damaging actions. While Astrologian doesn't have to have that many it will most likely fall within the same ballpark. If we were to add 9 on top of the 18 that have been noted that would put us at 27 actions. Current jobs have 22-23 (discounting Ninjutsu and pet actions) and will gain 5 with Heavensward. What remains of the actions we are yet aware of may largely consist of damaging spells. Hopefully an upcoming article will actually go into detail about some of them.

    Edit: I actually forgot about how Astrologian seems to have fewer confirmed healing spells when compared to White Mage and Scholar, mostly in regards to AoE healing. Early reports mentioned a small AoE and a large AoE heal for Astrologian, but based on the latest information on Wheel of Fate that spell won't even have a healing component when used with Nocturnal Sect. That makes me wonder if Wheel of Fate is something entirely separate and there's still one AoE healing spell we haven't heard about yet.
