Astrologian Needs Changes

[Rajeme]

Yeah I also vote for some adjustments. Otherwise the salt gonna be big come alex savage lol.

Hm...I'm watching translation for the live letter. It seems changes will be made to AST's card system. The basic healing system will not be changed. Having mixed feeling about this.

Happy for card changes - wish they addressed Nocturnal stance.

I'm all happy with the changes. It seems their direction is to make cards more dominant to offset the difference in healing output and other disadvantages compare to other healers.

If they do it right, yeah I'm a happy panda.

That's all I wanted was card improvements. No problems with thier healing output.

Agree with you.
But I would have loved some adjustment on Lightspeed and Collective, and Celestial Opposition too. ç_ç

Q20. Are there any plans to make any type of adjustments for astrologians?

A20. We’re thinking of making adjustments where astrologians will be able to use Spread while not in combat, or shortening the recast time for Shuffle. We have received feedback on how Lightspeed is hard to use, and so we’re planning to make adjustments so you can clearly feel the strength of this. As for Collective Unconscious and Celestial Opposition, instead of adjusting the stats similar to other healer actions, we’ll make astrologian-like adjustments where they switch between stances. We’ll make these adjustments without waiting for Alexander (Savage).

I always thought from the beginning that AST was meant to switch between Nocturnal and Dirunal Sect for versatility, which they gain in exchange for having lower potency healing. It would give the class some much needed flavor, increase skill cap, and provide a reason to actually use Nocturnal Sect. I do think it would improve their 4-man healing game, but might still need some MP adjustments. However, being able to switch stances doesn't really do them any favors in an 8-man situation, in any combination of healers; it would still be annoying to have AST/SCH with AST in Nocturnal. Hopefully, the card changes increase their utility power in 8-man situations, kind of balancing the scales a bit.

They said they will do MP adjustement for ALL THE JOBS after Savage because they know that there are some problems for some jobs.

I don't think, given their current potency, AST would be OP if given the ability to switch between Dirunal and Nocturnal Sect. It would increase the skill ceiling, give them added versatility and viability. I don't think it would effect them much in 8-man content, especially when paired with a SCH.
