Just buff Astrologians

[DkDerek]

I'm a dragoon, and seeing what ASTs are dealing with disgusts me. Buff them. Just buff their potencies by like 20%. Who gives a shit. Deal with class mechanics later, when you figure it out. There are players who have invested in this class, and literally cannot play the game because of it.

Just buff them. Make them overpowered. Nobody gives a shit at this point.

I don't care if they are able to clear the content. They are able to clear it, because the scholar carried the ast. Period.

The beauty of healing classes is that the gear associated with the roles is shared between the three. If they "literally cannot play the game because fo it" they should probably just swap to another healing class for the time being.

Changes take time, and telling SE just to "buff it" is stupid, because it might tilt healing too far to one spectrum and reduce the difficulty of actual difficult content.

I honestly was super discouraged when I saw no buffs after tonight's maintencence.

Except, you know, esoterics.

We aren't talking about Astro's being, 5, 10% behind. Perfect balance is pretty much impossibe, 5-10% differences is common. They have nailed it with dps (blms could use some love). Astro's literally cant join parties.

Don't expect another round of buff before 3.06 or 3.1

I'm currently leveling AST, had my first Sohm AL run as it. Tank did a bit of a foolish pull, the whole first bit. Foolish as everyone was 53 in the except him. It's a pull that can be rough to heal, but I've done it on my WHM a number of times. I thought it would be rough, but I just couldn't keep up at all. I blew through all my cool downs, got a lucky bole, and had my regeneration up, but every time bene II hit his hp was lower than the last.

I've felt like it doesn't have the power as WHM before, but I was just shaking my head as the tank died. "What am I missing here?" as I look over my actions, nothing... that was a bad AST moment. Wiping on the first pull... I'm sure the team had faith in me after that.

I don't care if they buff it right now, as long as something happens soon. I still main WHM and was leveling AST for some fun, but that isn't fun. Not doing that to your group.

Esoterics also shares accessories. Prioritize accessories, and get whoever it is who literally "can't play the game" and talk to their other healer/raid about rolling on actual drops from savage/upgrade items drops. A1-A3 can be cleared with the bare minimum (<190).

We won't see significant changes (like warrior) until a major content release - don't expect anything in the miniature patches. The best option is to work on accessories first (play WHM/SCH in the meantime) and wait until atleast 3.1 to seriously consider playing AST. Or play it regardless, because it is possible to clear atleast A1/A2 savage with AST (not sure about A3, not many have cleared)

[DkDerek]

It's possible, yes, if your SCH is pulling 5k hps.


Without dipping below 50% mana.
