Astro ideas

I think draws are "fine". I love to see the more uninventive cards like spear to be made into something creative. Like granting a Barrage/Duality. But thats not really a balance concern.

Something I love to see is some buffs for Disable. I love it to be a aoe. If targeted near a group of mobs it effects all of them. Disable is a really fun skill to use but its hyper situation like old Uwer/Spire card design. I would love to see it tweaked so it has multiple situations of usefulness such as E4E.

Draw - change the cooldown to 15s same as Royal Road with the addition to give 2 or 3% of mp back

This wouldn't be bad, and probably better than the crappy change they did to LS/ewer in terms of mp. Either that or add a skill that sacrifices the drawn card for mp (looking at you spire).

That's 8% - 12% MP back per minute on top of Luminiferous Aether....

It should be one or the other. I'd prefer a 20s Cooldown tbh.

Nocturnal Sect - Add a passive trait to reduce 5% or 10% mp consumption on Aspected abilities

What's the point? Shield will still be bad and overall healing output would be bad still as well. You made their crappy shields more mana efficient, hooray? AST is already more "mana efficient" in terms of cost-per-potency and they aren't good because their potency is too low throughout a fight. Increasing their MP efficiency without actually increasing their healing output won't do anything.

AST needs a unique way of healing or of buffing the other healer's healing in order to replace one of the other healers.

How about this...

Noct and diurnal sect increases Mind and/or Pie to all party members.

If you want AST to heal "less" just give the other healers a little hand!

This is also what I've been suggesting :P But I'd rather it be a skill (like rework Synastry) that can be placed on the other healer to increase their healing output by a %. That way AST can focus on DPS and cards and ensures the other healer can take up the healing slack.

In addition to that, changing Draw to a 20s CD and changing Noct Stance and CO/CU, I think those would be all the buffs AST need. No need to directly buff AST's healing output and also ensures AST/AST is still worse than AST/x class because their healing output would still be far less.
