    (Astrologian) Tooltip Request

    TL;DR: I have a proposition for making two Astrologian tooltips look less cluttered on the screen (and some other class/job actions; more on those another time).

    I'm going to just do this as a before-and-after to explain my reasoning. The same format below would apply to Aspected Helios, not just Aspected Benefic.

    Aspected Benefic (before)
    Restores's target's HP. Cure Potency: 190.
    Nocturnal Sect Cure Potency: 250.
    Diurnal Sect Effect: Regen
    Cure Potency: 140 Duration: 18s
    Effect cannot be stacked.
    Nocturnal Sect Effect:Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 130% of the amount of HP restored.
    Duration: 30s
    Effect cannot be stacked with Adloquium.


    Aspected Benefic (after)
    Restores target's HP. Cure Potency: 190

    Diurnal Sect
    Cure Potency: 190
    Additional Effect: Regen
    Regen Potency: 100 Duration: 18s
    Regen effect cannot be stacked.

    Nocturnal Sect
    Cure Potency: 250
    Additional Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equal to 130% of the amount of HP restored.
    Duration: 30s
    Barrier effect cannot be stacked.


    To put it simply, separating out the Sect-specific text on the tooltip would look a LOT more organized and would differentiate the effects of the (Aspected) spells when a player wishes to review the information in the tooltip. It's very cluttered right now, and requires very careful reading to be able to fully determine what the Aspected spell's effect even is under each sect. Pulling out the Sect-specific text and putting them under subheading (as seen in the 'after' version I posted) makes it a much cleaner read. I realize I was being redundant with the Diurnal Sect part in placing the 190 cure potency there, but it DOES avoid any doubts.

    Additionally, the Aspected spells do not stack with Succor either, thus why I put "Barrier effect cannot be stacked." as saying it doesn't stack with (only) Adloquium is technically not correct.


    And to be a little pedantic, this is what I'd envision Aspected Helios looking like afterwards:

    Aspected Helios
    Restores the HP of you and nearby party members. Cure Potency: 200

    Diurnal Sect
    Cure Potency: 200
    Additional Effect: Regen
    Regen Potency: 40 Duration: 30s
    Regen effect cannot be stacked.

    Nocturnal Sect
    Cure Potency: 150
    Additional Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equal to the amount of HP restored.
    Duration: 30s
    Barrier effect cannot be stacked.


    For Aspected Helios, I also condensed the "what it does" line, to avoid redundancy and save a little space.
