Astrologian Needs Changes

[SuzakuCMX]

You asked to be able to switch stance in battle. To which I say sure. As soon as whm has shields and sch gets regens. Instead of wanting a unique healer/niche you just want to outmode the other two.

Again: hybrid classes want to be better than both of the things they're hybrids of while ignoring that being a hybrid grants them versatility.

It's hard to call it a hybrid class when you only get to use either the shields or regen in a battle. If they could use both shields and heal in a battle, they'd be fantastic. But imagine if SCH and SMN were one class with Cleric Stance and half the job skills, and if you went into Cleric Stance you could only switch out-of-combat. They'd be trash, because they are "versatile" but only get to use half of their versatility even though it's nerfed.

Except we're balanced around it based on our other potencies and they've nerfed our fairies - try again next time.

AST's "SCH" stance is missing the fairy and its skills + the ability to buff throughput + the mana management + the utility of Supervirus/E4E/Energy Drain/Bane, with the assumption that your Benefic II being equal to Cure II will cover it....which it doesn't because it just makes the fact that the subpar mana management is there even worse. Shields also can't crit.
