    Great idea for ASTRO!

    Since I'm reading here and there all kind of idea for ASTRO to revamp or to fix or maybe to balance it I'll tell you mine, here and now! I'm sure that not everybody will Iike it but I have long thought on it and it seems very enjoyable and balanced.

    I think 1 of the main mechanics of AST it's the Draw ability.
    Now the point is this.
    Each time you use the Draw ability you gain a Stack that we call it for example Astrological Affinity. Now you can have a maximum of 2 or 3.

    Now the use of certain skills require 1 stack of these Astrological Affinity. You ask why. The draw can be used each 30 seconds so it means that you can have for example 2 stacks in 1 minute. Now if you look at our cool down they are for some weird unexplainable reason huge. For example celestial opposition. 150 seconds cool down its ridiculous. Same for collective unconscious (even if it's broke right now ). Synastry too. Our emergency heal, essential dignity. The cool down its ridiculous for a skill like this.
    Now the point is this. Comparing it to another similar mechanic, the SCH 's aether flow they get 3 stack each minute. And allows them to use powerful skills with this mechanic. My suggestion is too add a similar mechanic to ast not because I want to' copy ' the SCH but to give it a chance.
    I warn you all. Don't expect that square enix will just decrease these skills cool down. Or at least it's what I think but just notice it. With this method the skills will still have a cool down of a minimum of 30 seconds but if u save ur stacks for future moments well it's a lot better. You can cast for example 2 essential dignity in an emergency. And please don't say that if you get to the point to cast 2 essential dignity in a row, ESPECIALLY with AST, it's noobish.

    What do u think?
