Have AST given up ?

[Mclyde]

erm, if you don't like how the weapon looks when it's sheathed, then turn your weapon display off?

Healers have loads of options for glamours so not sure how that can be a problem. :P

You still see the weapon when you're in fight. And i'm aware there are a lot of glamours for healers (as for others job) but it's problematic for astro whith that looooong and haaaaard sheath

The thing with the card holder that annoys me the most is that it retains the cards even when the weapon is wielded. If they could make it change the texture (or however it's implemented) to have empty card pockets when the cards are whirling around the globe, it would make tad more sense.

The card holder is the the worst! It looks unnatural the way it juts out so stiffly from your waist-- and what's up with the cards being placed side by side in it? Not the best use of space by any means. If swords in this game don't have scabbards, I don't think 6 cards need one. I remember seeing prototype designs somewhere for how AST might hold the cards and it was on a wirey looking contraption that was on the wrist/arm. I feel like you can see evidence of that old concept on the AST relic hands (the sleeves). The one arm has what looks like a metal loop on it?

If the star globes weren't so awesome looking, I'd probably select the "hide weapon when sheathed option" due to that card holder. I gave up SCH for AST and haven't looked back. My static is on the last phase of AS3 with WHM/AST (noct) combo and we are doing just fine. AST is fabulous, despite a few short comings that are probably only bigger issues for inexperienced healers. It is very rewarding to play this job well.

I main AST, I'm just taking a mega break until Halloween event/3.1.

I think most of these people who have AST as a main are bored of the content right now and so are not online. I am one of them.

[Whiteroom]

They don't feel the need to post since they were balanced. Amazing how feedback can work sometimes.

[Staris]

Because anyone good enough to AST cleared all the content already and has nothing to talk about?

I got all the heavenwards server firsts on my server while raiding casual hours, what else do you want me to do.

Sorry your still progressing A3 and use whm

[PriestAlseid]

I'm still leveling up but most of the healers when I'm SMN have been AST.

[Liselsia]

I insanely love AST, I went threw all of 2.0 without a favorite job. I just drifted from one job to the next. AST is first job in XIV that I legitimately love.

I just dont have much to say about it. Sure cards could be a little better, spire is dumb, Noc Sect lacks hot healing of fairy but all that has already been said. I have zero to add to it.

I think most other AST feel the same. There are things we dont love about AST but buff we got were so beyond our expectation it feel almost greedy to even mention it at this point. So we just want to play without making to much waves. Happily loving our job.

i dont main healer
but when i play healer, i use to be WHM
now i shift to AST
although i dont particularly like my Nocturnal sect, the only time i m using it is when my party have another Diurnal sect AST
yet, i found it more fun to play then my WHM
and actually i see a lot more AST than WHM and SCH lately
