To bring back the positive things about Astrologian, I for one absolutely love Essential Dignity, especially when it crits for 10k on targets with low HP. Oh, the satisfaction. Also, the visuals for all attacks are amazing.

I also love disproving people in extreme roulette who seem to prepare themselves for countless wipes when they see that I am an Astrologian. For example, I once met a Warrior in Neverreap who tried to force me to go Nocturnal, claiming that 5% more potency and shields would be necessary, since Warriors take more damage than Paladins. I firmly stated that Diurnal's regen potency is far greater in the long run and that I would not change, he went lol and proceeded with his speed-run. I healed, buffed and DPSed and no-one ever came close to dying. By the end of it, he admitted that it was one of the smoothest runs he'd ever had with an Astrologian. Not that I needed to hear that, but it was still nice.
