Astrologian tips and tricks

Enhanced Duration or Potency Ewar on Self + Luminous + Light speed + Celestial (on all 3) = A1 Savage down at full mana.
Nuff said.

Actually there's alot more to be said, namely that the amount of mana you have at the end of an encounter is completely irrelevant.

If you're running out of mana, there's a much bigger problem going on.

@OP Make up your mind with bole, you say not to royal road it, you say not to spread it and then right under that you say that it's good to spread it...
Why wouldn't you royal road bole anyways? If the tank won't be taking any meaningful damage anytime soon the 50% extra potency is good if you have time dilation ready.

Spire/Ewer are useless

lol no.

Here's an enhanced ewer for youuu, here's and enhanced balance for you oh maybe u need some time dialation with that. Here's some enhanced bole for uuu, everyone gets an enhanced card! Woooooooooo
Tbh tho u really cant play ast by the book like some dps class doing its rotation.
U gotta assess the party, the individuals and the fight. And ontop of that is the card rng so u gotta know how to improvise with what u have. No point in holding a card for a whole phase just so u can "prep" for that buster on phase 2. Sure there are guidelines, tho it doesn't mean it'll always be accurate to ur situation.

Shh shh. Astrologian's are easy to learn jobs. People may accidentally learn how powerful they trully are in the hands of a master and how difficult it can be to master proper use of cards.

The basic Healing Tools of Astrologian are mainly just copy's of whitemages skills. And the cards are not that complicated at all. So AST is not a difficult puzzle that one solves and becomes a master suddenly.

If you are running out of mana you are probably an Astrologian.

These are quite useful tips.

Have you considered using Spear on yourself (if needed)? Especially with LA, Synastry & CU it's quite handy.
Also, I'd never RR Arrow (only if Spread is on use/cd and out of fight).
Furthermore I'd specify the usage of The Bole, usually it is not required to activate on a tank in lower level content or expert dungeons, even in Alex normal it's most of the time not necessary. I usually RR it and combine it with a Balance/Arrow+TD.

Also, as opposed to other opinions I'd almost always use Ewer (and Spire but Ewer more often). Exception here would be burst-phases like Bismarck EX while jumping on his back.
