The positive Astrologian thread!

On top of that, AST can use a damage buff (which is 10%, just like a cross-classed B4B), a TP /MP buff (which can let your BRD/MCH dps more, since they don't need to give up some damage to refresh TP/MP), a CD reduction buff (which can shorten the Ruin gaps for SMN by making them go into Dread Stance more often, or give NIN more ninjutsus) and also make your tanks get hit for less (which allows more breathing room for healers). Saying that a SCH can buff the party just as well is completely wrong and people have got to stop spreading those misconceptions; not only is a dumb (and dishonest) way to bitch about AST, but it can mess up what people think about SCH – some groups may demand Selene over this when it would be better to have Eos out to do more healing and allow the SCH to DPS more, which is more effective than the buff from Selene in so many cases. That's what I meant earlier when I said that people need to get better and learn more about all the healing jobs, not only AST.
