Synastry is a bit op.

Sooo you lvled astro a couple times and then got sch higher. Getting better gear and new abilities, with little astro experience, and then comment that sch is better... I guess that speaks for itself. I need to stop responding to these people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Kirxus has a point. Allow me to elaborate. While AST is certainly difficult to master, it can be done. Attention to detail with this class, mana conservation, and understanding your card system and how it works greatly improve the job. Just reading the tool tips on your cast bar will not help. You need to cast anything that buffs you or your party and read the tool tip on your buff bar. Until Krix pointed this out to me I never realized that Luminiferous Aether was a mana regen. I use it every chance I get in conjunction with spear as it reduces the recast time to 96 seconds. I can also speed run all of the level 60 dungeons at this point. For those that don't realize it this job is highly dependent on your ability to make snap decisions.

Edit: With the whole RNG thing with our cards. If you have played AST enough you begin to realize instead of looking at RNG hating you, you should start taking advantage of using your card or shuffling it and so on. Each of those cards while giving a small buff does really matter in that as pointed out to me 6/6 of those cards help in conserving mana. So sure its great to get that one card, but the decision comes from making use of it or not. I always royale road spear and the reason is simple. Everytime I have done this it has always given me the aoe version of our draws. So by the next time I use it I can buff the entire group.

Point is, this class is highly technical.
