Synastry is a bit op.

[Shamirah]

While technically right, a good AST will go beyond that.

Place Synastry and AoE heal.

It doesn't work on aoe heals. (it does not work on essential dignity either, but in this case, it's a bug.)

Yeah Synastry is definitely OP, OP. How about you actually play Astrologian first to see how garbage they actually are compared to the other 2 healers, thanks.

Oh are we playing this game?

Then lets factor in the significantly more potent direct heals that Astrologian gets for raw healing that scholar's fairy + the scholar can barely scratch. Then WHM absolutely craps bricks on the Scholar's actual healing healing.

Cure 2 = 650 potency and aldoquium with emergency tactics (30s cd) heals for 600 and costs a cluster of mana. Benefic 2 that is spammable is 620 potency.

Furthermore AST has a ton of HoT power that can easily make up for the lack of fairy.

is it opposite day?

Sovereign... after you said that "wildfire was useless and that a self +5% damage boost was useless" it's hard to take you seriously.

Especially when you're saying that AST is better at healing than SCH zzZZZZzzz.

You forgot to add that your shield gets freaking strong with one crit. Or that you have a ton of instant, no mana cost, heals with low cd. And that SCH has like 0 mana issue at all.

Wildfire is useless, a 5% damage boost on a GCD for the class at 120 potency is useless when compared to the higher potency GCD skills a machinist gets. The other skill setting up a tide of damage that does more damage in the end.

Astrologian's direct heal-heals are more powerful than Scholar's. I wasn't even talking about shields. Unless you want me to start bringing up astrologians having cards, being able to swap into healing mode vs. shield mode when with another healer that is a scholar and thus not be trivialized in a duo healer instance and the other benefits that they have.

How dare scholars with a critical aldoquim have a strong shield, let alone a unique job trait. How dare they. It's almost like they don't throw out 300-400 potency heals to heal all damage and need something to make up for it.

Don't take me seriously, I literally don't care. Doesn't make me any less wrong.

Err no. Benefic 2 is NOT spam-able. You'll constantly running into mana problem on longer fights (been there, done that). Benefic 2 is supposed to be emergency catch-up heal. The same thing goes with HoT skills. I found myself relying a lot on MP potions, even though I always use Spear card on myself before casting MP regen, using only Benefic I & rarely doing any DPS on boss fights.

I understand that astrologians are a few % under the white mage in healing but being able to solo heal both tanks in extreme fights is a bit absurd in the power curve. Se dropped the ball letting this ability pass the QA check balancing spells out for new jobs.

You're joking, right?

Synastry:
Duration: 20 seconds
Recast timer: 120 seconds

If you arnt pairing time dilation and the other +5 sec buff you're doing it wrong. So correction:

Duraction: 40 seconds
Recast time: 120 seconds

It is a very strong skill, paired with a 35 + 50 second regens on the MT its just a cakewalk. So many scrubs here that cant see the job for what it is.

[Shamirah]

hahaha Krixus proving once again that he's not actually playing the class xD

Extending the buff on your tank does nothing to the duration of Synastry since it disappears once it's no longer on yourself.

Ah ah, keep making me laugh Krixus, good lad.

Time Dilation and Celestial Opposition are on CDs (1:30 and 2:30 respectively). You aren't always going to be using them when Synastry is up and vice versa and holding on to all 3 CDs just for one potential (using this term loosely) moment is a waste. Also Time Dilation doesn't do anything to extend Synastry as the buff will fall of you before the target and it wont matter.
