Astrologian Needs Changes

[Staris]

It is clearly not a scholar replacement because shields are poor in comparison.

However, I would say it is perfect alternative for a WHM for end game raids, the healing potency per time on the spammed abilities are near identical. The healing alpha on the hots is greater, and the mana efficiency for overhealing is better.

The main additions that make it possibly better for pushing progression content is
1. The two dps dots require no accuracy
2. The cards can be managed for specific situations, (when your pulling tens- hundreds of times during progression the RNG can be used as an advantage)
3. Better movement ability while healing.
4. 5 Second hard res. (Huge during cutting edge progression)

We can't predict what raid content will require, but history points to the healing checks being trivial in comparison to min maxing required for the DPS/HP checks for first kills.

I mean the best healers will have all 3 leveled, to take advantage of any situation anyway.
