Overreaction to Astrologian buff.

[Cynfael]

Wait so Ast heals better than Whms now? Lol did they forget they had whm on this game? So now Ast can heal better than a whm and buff the party... wow...

Well sch has a fairy and can stance dance like James Brown, they ain't worried lol. Poor whm, back to the bench with you. Lmao

Don't believe everything you read.

Don't believe everything you read.

Trust me I was half joking. I have whm 60 sch 58 and ast30 still so my final judgment hasn't came yet till they are all at 60. But atm Whms shouldn't be worried I feel cause of all the emergency heals alone IMHO so far. Whm to me has always been the best healer to dig the party out of a bad situation.

Hi there, I play both sch and ast.

SCH's..... do not fear. AST will not be taking your spot anytime soon. Also ET is great! its a catch up move much like
indom. As a matter of fact indom+ET succor might just save your raid group. Its what SCH was missing at 50. If adloq crits
you get a 3xcrit.

Having said that deployment tactics is a lil lame atm, but maybe if we get a new buff at next level cap raise that is
also passed around also, that would make it a muuuuch better. Dissipation is fine, due to getting atherflow stacks,
but I wish it wouldnt prevent resummoning. I don't mind having to swift cast another and spend the mp.
If anything, my only real complaint is fairy heal, and that is only because it is curing for the same amount even though
people have higher HPmax.

Thats it though. Sch got what was missing and that was aoe catch up.

Ast is finally back on track to being useful. it has a nice healing CD. Buffs that are noticable now. and potencies that allow
it to actually heal comparably to other healers. Now I will admit having a larger shield is a bit odd, but total potencies are
almost the same, and adloq can crit. I think giving a larger shield is justified, since a large part of the AST kit is based on
extending duration of buffs, which help regens, but does little for shields.

ummmm spear? xD

But those are my thoughts, SCH is great and got what was missing, fairy is my only complaint.

AST is comparable

Again xD I like the AST buffs, I just don't want Dissipation to stay shackled like it is for "balance"

Emergency Tactics is something you use when your shield is already up. Therefore its Adlo, Emergency Tactics, Adlo. or Succor, Emergency Tactics, Succor. You could do it the other way around, but whats the point? Your shields are additional health bars. Only when you do not need the shielding power (because its already on them) is ET useful.

I actually find Deployment tactics WONDERFUL. Its a Crit adlo spreader. xD or a oh shit YOU THERE WARRIOR. BE MY GALVANIZE SLAVE D::: <3

Fairy agreed, but maybe it will change as our mind stacks.
Just a different perspective. xD

Baseline: WHM/SCH are not dead, ASTs are simply brought on par on the healing front with other two healers.

Exactly, I'm happy for my AST friends! You come heal with old Rodriguez and I'll welcome you with open arms.

Jesus...can't we put these stupid threads to bed now. Astrologian was buffed so the issue is pointless.

I'll teach you the secret technique for allowing threads to die when you no longer wish to use them.

Ready?
