Leveling Astrologian and need a bit of help

Honestly, AST is a lot of fun, factoring those rngesus lol. I don't think I will play any other healer now.

From the latest live letter, it seems they will adjust so we can spread midfight too. Rejoice.

Playing as healer makes me love dungeon so much. Nothing a few quick dungeons can't solve. And the engaging gameplay makes it never boring to me.

This is what i have been doing:

Spire --> always royal road it, if royal road on CD use on melee dps.
Spear --> try to spread it to save for when you wanna hit all your CD, if spread on CD then use it on self.
Bole --> use on tank.
Balance --> use on dps.
Ewer --> use on self.
Arrow --> use on dps.

All other royal road buffs are only worth doing out of combat unless its spire card.

Having powered through 41-51 in dungeons yesterday, I find AST extremely fun. Here are my rules for cards.

Ewer = RR (I am finding less and less times I need the mana)
Balance/Arrow = Spread (I spread on boss fights or at the end of trash fights if I don't have a good RR buff up. It's worth a 30s wait if I can get a spear or arrow for aoe buff or increased duration from the others.)
Bole = Use on tank or RR or spread but I prefer to save spread for Balance/Arrow
Spear = RR for AoE RR (Things may change at 60 but haven't needed my CD's that much)
Spire = RR or unless it is an AoE pull with a Bard or DRG then I will give it to them.

I find less times to be able to dps as I have mainly had DRK tanks and they seem to require more healing since most don't know how to manage their MP to keep darkside up. Our Regen is also not as strong as a WHM and thus provides less ticks during larger pulls. I have use Nocturnal but it felt lacking in comparison to Diurnal. Either that or I just prefer the Regen.

Put both ticking HoTs and then alt-tab or dps. Mix in cards and that is dungeons for you, does not change until raids and primals.

Some ways you can get more value out of your cards:
If you don't need Ewer, throw it on a black mage about to start their fire cycle (full mp)
If you don't need Spear throw it on a ninja or summoner for more ninjutsu and aetherflow
