The positive Astrologian thread!

[TatoRazzino]

So to put this back on topic ...

I really like your screenshot, Parawill. Gravity is easily one of my favorite animations from HW!

And I'm sorry if I sounded off-topic, but I just want to point out that there's a lot of good things about our job. It's very fun, pretty and unique. My favorite animation is still Celestial Opposition, tho

The LB3 is also pretty spectacular. I'm really impressed with the detail the devs put into it!

Something I find awesome about AST is that Noct A. Benefic makes it easily the best pvp healer. There's nothing like having 3 people all trying to take you down and not being able to XD

Thanks for trying to get back on topic, I understand its easy to get carried away with a conversation. I intended this thread as a place to point out the positives of the class, so that people can voice the things they like, so mayhap they don't end up getting changed. Unfortunately, there a lot of people on the AST is bad bandwagon, who gave up leveling or haven't played it at all, who spread some pretty bad information. Do I think this job is gear dependent, yes. Are bad players more noticeable when healing as AST, yes. Is that necessarily a problem, no. Personally I don't feel a healer should be able to drag bad players through content, like it is really easy to do with a WHM. (but now I am getting off topic )

I think the RNG of the cards is integral and a very core concept of this job though. I mean, pick up a deck of cards, and pull the card you want every time??? The fun, and the thing that separates the good from the bad , is what to do with the cards you get, on the fly, and how to best use them. This job isn't for everyone, that's why there are 2 other healing jobs. I just feel there are a lot of people who are trying to change this into something its not. and I do not want to see that happen, It is nowhere near as bad of a place as people are making it out to be. Have a great day!

Enhanced Arrow + Time Dilation on a WAR in Deliverance makes me SQUEEEEEE SO MUCH!

Rev up your engines, the buzzsaws are coming!

ASTRO is amazing job - it is by far the hardest healer job to master because there are so many random and quick decision thinking you must do. Hence you see so many complaints because this is not a straight up pick and play healer like WHM. My Astro is not yet 50, but I can contrast and compare the bad astro and a good astro when I play as tank on lower level dungeons. Astro tools below level 50 is extremely OVERPOWERED for a healer, but you can clearly see the shitty Astro overwhelmed itself with the myriad quick thinking they have to do on lower level dungeons. Stone Vigil and Dzaemel Darkhold is a good example. I am not surprised the SE team is taking a slow approach to fix this job, since on a seasoned player's hand, ASTRO is totally fine, and should the luck is on your card's draw, the benefits can be quite nice.
