The positive Astrologian thread!

[Ariel_Valmont]

This is a thread for all the Astrologian lovers out there. I am tired of seeing all the negative threads for this great job. so please chime in and voice what you love about the Astrologian!

Personally, I think they hit the mark with Astrologian. I think the randomness to the cards fits the theme of the class. The fun comes in setting up combos with spread and royal road, and figuring out the best way to use the cards you've been given, even if its not something you want. If you want predictability, there are other Jobs for you.

Personally I think the job's kit and thematic elements are a ton of fun, and I like that it is more support oriented rather than being something of a secondary DPS like SCH. It just needs some tweaks so it's on par with all the new goodies WHM and SCH got in HW.

[AlphaSonic]

I like Synastry, I like Gravity, I like Essential Dignity, I like the randomness of the cards, I like Time dilatation.

I LOVE the animations.

That's it, I'm not going to talk about what do I hate. But if it's going to get tweeked and buffed I'll be happy.

[DarkmoonVael]

Well if you think they hit the mark on AST entirely then kudos to you. Most others realise its in desperate need of adjustments to balance it with SCH and WHM and make it a competative healer for a raid slot.

Synsytry is good, Time Dilation is good, Gravity is good, Essential Dignity is good............aaaaaaaaand yep, thats all i have so far.

I like the concept, the animations and the general feel of the job. Can't say too much more as I've not fully levelled it yet.
However I have had heaps of fun kiting mobs 6/7 levels higher than I am with lightspeed and stella. I'm not saying these abilities are particularly good, but it is quite amusing to watch a giant bug uselessly crawl up to and try to spit on me while I sprint away, spamming insta-casted gravities

I personally love weaving in drawing cards and deciding what to do with them in between healing and dps'ing. WHM was always my main job in this game, but I have leveled AST to 60 and what a fun change it has been. The reason why I loved healing so much is the challenge of switching stances. Pumping out decent damage while keeping the party alive at the same time. That has always been extremely fun to me. With AST, I get to do that along with providing even more support to the party with drawing cards. It pushes the fun factor to a whole other level for me.

I would love to see some tweaks to AST cause I agree they need a slight buff in healing power. But I have faith in SE to provide the right changes to it.

Positives:

Diurnal Sect
Synastry
Essential Dignity
Time Dilation
Spell Effects (Malefic 2 is gorgeous)
The theme behind it

[Talia_Hailwind]

I'm just happy we have another healer besides WHM that doesn't use a pet.

Personally Pets to me are a liability, not a pro.

[Jaster_Reylu]

noone talks about it.
but i like disable.
my turn-ons include <tt> and stacking it with virus.

my turn offs include the lack of my own virus / eye4eye and when disable gets used by an auto attack.

Negative threads aren't about hate, but tweaks.
